Glass Closet Doors

 

I installed these frameless glass closet doors made right here in Los Angeles by the http://www.theglassclosetdoor.com  

The beauty of these doors are the top hung roller wheels so there is no track in the floor.

The process involved first measuring the closet as each set of doors is made to order. Then my client ordered the doors and in about three weeks they were delivered. The three sets of doors for three closets came packed in a wooden shipping crate and weighed about 500 pounds, not including the crate.

The first challenge was unpacking the crate and getting the doors to the house, as my client’s new house is up a steep hill with a very steep driveway.

Next my client helped me carry the doors up to the second floor.  Each door weighed about 80 pounds, and were approximately 45 inches wide and 7 1/2 feet high. Heavy and hard to handle, we humped all six up his open stairway. It took a lot of effort but luckily there was no damage to the doors, the walls or our backs.

The installation was pretty straight forward, though the company could do more to make their installation documents easier to navigate. However they were helpful in answering my questions on the phone when the  information I needed wasn’t on their  website.

It is a really great product and I highly recommend  them as the end result is rather stunning and should last a lifetime.

Not including the original measuring and moving the doors into place, it took about 2 hours to install each set of doors.
