8To think aboutHere are some general tips to have in mind before youstart assembling SKYTTA sliding doors. These tips are forall the solutions, and for more specific tips depending onthe solution that is applicable to your room, please see thefollowing pages and the Assembly Instructions.Floor railThe floor rail is provided with double sided tape which works on solid flooring.Avoid using the floor rail on rugs, as it will not stay fixed properly. The system can beadjusted if the floor is uneven (0-2 mm/1/8” per 1 m/393/8”). The floor rail has a front sideso make sure it is positioned correctly. If you are connecting two floor rails, make surethe cut end is facing the wall.Stop barThe wall or the stop bar will be the closing surface for the sliding door. In bothalternatives it is important to have a straight and levelled closing surface. The systemcan be adjusted if the wall is uneven (0-3 mm/1/8” per 1 m/393/8”).Wood beamSince your ceiling will support the weight of your sliding door, start by finding safefixing points for the wood beam. If you are connecting two wood beams, make surethat the front sides are in line with each other. A flange screw is pre-mounted in everysecond hole. In some cases when you have cut the desired length, you need to moveone flange screw so there is one on each side of the aluminum rail joint. The woodbeam has a front side on the 3-track rail but is the same front and back on the 2-track.You will need to purchase the proper screws for this installation, as these are notincluded by IKEA.Adjust flange screwIn the Assemble Instructions you will find the H measurement between the top of thefloor rail to the flange on the flange screw. We recommend using the top cover as aruler for the fine tuning to align them.H H HCeiling railThe ceiling rail can stay temporarily in place with screws, but we recommend that youcontinue to hold it during installation. Screws should be mounted from below and fromthe front, spaced evenly in at least every second hole. The ceiling rail has a frontside onthe 3-track rail but is the same front and back on the 2-track. If you are connecting twoceiling rails, make sure the cut end is towards the wall. The rails need to be aligned sobe careful when tightening the screws close to the joint(s) of the rail.Soft closeThe soft close and soft-closing activators must be mounted into the rail before the lastceiling rail is mounted. You need to place the parts according to your layout from theplanning tool. The doors placed closest to the wall have two soft-closing mechanismsand end activators. Doors in the middle have one soft closing mechanism and one endactivator.
