Have you ever hung new closet doors? It sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, I'll share with you some words of wisdom for those of you who are brave enough to try and hang new closet doors.
Wisdomism #1
~Measure the width AND the height of the door (this seems rather obvious, doesn't it? It's amazing what you can miss!)
Wisdomism #2
~Put the door knobs in the same place as the old knobs (there was a reason they were there to begin with!)
Wisdomism #3
~This is a two person job. One person to perform the manual labor. The other to try and read the instructions that leave a lot to the imagination (were they written by a blind person?)
Wisdomism #4
~When in doubt...google "how to hang closet doors"
Wisdomism #5
~Folding closet doors come separately, eventhough you need two of them to have a functioning closet. Make sure you purchase two (again this seems obvious, but it's easy to overlook)
So, how did our closet door hanging go? Well, we didn't have anyone giving us these words of wisdom, so we learned a lot about hanging closet doors. Yes, we even purchased one closet door, thinking it was all we needed. We felt rather silly throughout the process, but it was a great learning experience!
