Advice on installing sliding door closet

I am framing out an opening for a sliding closet door in my basement and had a *2 questions: 1) The sliding door track kit says the height should be 1 3/4" *more than the door, which means 81 3/4". Does that take into account enough space on the bottom of the door so it doesn't hit the floor? Or am I suppose to add 1/2" or so on top of the 81 3/4". 2) *The closet doors is adjacent to a sheetrock wall. Can the door just close *up against the sheetrock wall, or is there suppose to be something like a 2X4 or door jamb on the side of the frame? What is usually done on the sides? I take it you are not talking about a pocket door. The 1.75 inches should be for all clearances.You could lay out the parts on the floor to figure it out. Pocket door, I do not know about. Cut it more if you like and if its too much you can always install a threshold. I think that looks better anyway. Ive see them with no jamb but I like it better with the door trimmed out. Jimmie |
