5 Signs It's Time to Replace Your Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Quick answer: If your wardrobe doors stick, sag, rattle, look dated or no longer suit the room, replacing them with custom made sliding doors is one of the cheapest bedroom upgrades there is. Wardrobes2U doors are made to your measurements on the Gold Coast from $420, priced instantly online, delivered FREE to eligible Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Byron Bay areas by our own team, and you can fit them yourself from just 30 minutes or have our own installers do it. We've been making them since 2003, with over 20,000 orders supplied.
Your wardrobe doors open and close more often than any other door in the house. When they start to fail, the whole bedroom feels tired. Here are the five signs we see most, what's actually causing them, and what the fix costs.
1. They stick, sag or need a shove to open
Old hinged doors drop on their hinges. Older sliding doors run on worn plastic rollers and bent or dirty tracks, so they jump off, jam halfway or need two hands. Oiling the track buys a few weeks, not a fix.
The fix: A new sliding system with precision aluminium tracks and quality rollers. Modern doors glide with a fingertip and keep doing it for years, which is why ours carry a 5 year warranty on frames, tracks and hardware.
2. The room feels cramped
Hinged doors need a clear metre in front of them to swing open. In a smaller bedroom that's the difference between fitting a bed and a dresser or not. Mirrored sliding doors do the opposite: they make the room look bigger and bounce light around.
The fix: Switch to sliding doors. No swing space needed, and a full width mirror can visually double a small room. See our Framed, Slimline and Frameless door styles.
3. They look like the decade they were installed
Chipped timber veneer, mirrors with gold trim, plain white melamine that has yellowed. You can repaint the walls and buy new bedding and the wardrobe will still date the room.
The fix: Contemporary finishes. Matte black, white or brushed frames, clear or tinted mirror, vinyl or coloured glass inserts. Choose a combination in the online builder and see the price update as you go.
4. Clothes end up on the chair instead
When a wardrobe is annoying to get into, people stop using it properly. Doors that don't close, or only open halfway, are a big part of why bedrooms feel permanently messy.
The fix: Doors that open fully and close flush make the wardrobe easy to use again, and a full length mirror means you check your outfit at the wardrobe rather than draping clothes over the furniture.
5. You're renovating, building or refreshing the room
New paint, flooring or furniture with the old wardrobe doors left in place is money half spent. The same goes for a new build or a flip: wardrobe doors are the thing buyers and tenants notice first when they open the bedroom door.
The fix: Order the doors to the exact opening sizes on your plans or from your own measurements with our 5 minute measuring guide. Builders, carpenters and trades order supply only and we deliver when the site is ready; homeowners can add Professional Install in the builder and our own team fits them. No subcontractors either way.
