Question is - has anyone done this and is there any kits on the market.
Had a search on B&q site etc and no joy.

Any ideas?

i fitted one at work last tuesday
fitted the track to the ceiling---it should be level so some 1mm
packers are well handy
there was also provision for fixing to the wall....easier if you can
do it this way
the bottom guide ran in a groove which i routered in the bottom of the
door after it was trimmed to length

a couple of things i would point out
you dont need to run this inside a double wall or partition
if you buy a door an inch or so wider than the opening you can run it
against the existing arcs and skirting and mount the stops
appropriately
btw the kit i used had puny stops so if you use a heavy door watch out
for this
and you may have to make a pelmet to hide the mechanism


also i would drop a plumb bob down both legs of the door frame before
you start just in case they are badly in wind
