"wrong depth" on wardrobe, but the floor is laid how to solve the situation
Have you perhaps missed looking at the product images on their website? It is clearly visible that the hangers stick out several centimeters from the wardrobe. The sliding doors are therefore mounted 60 cm from the wall, and the interior is 45 cm. For those who want the sliding doors closer to build a shallower wardrobe, there are transverse hanger racks, which is also visible in the pictures.Skalman65 said:
Buy more flooring, pull the interior forward, lay flooring all the way, and put the interior back, then mount the sliding doors at a 60 cm depth?

No, then you'll ruin the saw!Skalman65 said:
How close to the surface are the hoses?
I would have set the saw to the exact floor thickness, rather a bit less than more.
If you saw half a mm too shallow, you can still break the piece off.
And yes, it's perfectly fine to splice under the floor rail.
But measure correctly now
I don't quite understand the problem, I advise against moving in the sliding doors, it won't turn out well.
If you are going to cut the floor, it should be quite simple to take out the last board (click flooring) and saw it off.

He should not move the sliding doors in; he should cover the floor with some click floor 60 - 45 cm from the wall, where no floor has been laid (for saving reasons). Skalman just wants to create a neat seam, which will be hidden under the door track.pbengtsson said:
You are absolutely right, that must be what the TS means, the floor ends under the floor rail at 60cm, but then there's a gap to the interior of about 15cm. This thread should be on the university entrance exam in reading comprehension.KnockOnWood said:

Poor those who have to take the university entrance exam then.pbengtsson said:

A simple way to solve it is to just lay the rest of the floor in the closet space and then hide the seam between the two "different floors" with the track for the sliding doors.
I have trimmed a click floor in a similar way before, but then I had access to a plunge saw and a multi-tool (to cut the last few cm where the blade couldn't reach). It also works to use a chisel for the last cm.
If the underfloor heating pipe is right underneath, I would also place a sheet of metal underneath, maybe with some masonite/cardboard as an extra layer. But I would rather sacrifice the blade than the pipes. If you don't cut all the way through, you can easily finish with a utility knife.
The sliding door track is quite wide, so no fine-tuning is needed.

It can be done with a regular circular saw too, just a bit trickier to start the cut. Depth setting 1-2 mm less than the floor’s thickness, so you can cut or break the rest. I've removed lots of floating floor chipboard that way - there were no loops underneath, but there was an old wooden floor that I absolutely did not want to damage.pbengtsson said:
