What tools are needed for installation?

Can this kit be used on any wall type?
It is best mounted on solid walls with secure studding. For drywall, ensure you use appropriate heavy-duty anchors rated for the load.
How do I clean the stainless steel components?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
What is the color of the kit?

How much space is needed on the wall for the door to slide?
You will need wall space at least equal to the width of your door, plus a little extra clearance for the door stoppers.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to slide or sticks
Check the track for obstructions or debris. Ensure the track is perfectly level and securely mounted. Verify that the door hangers are properly aligned and not bent. Confirm the door is within the weight limit.
Noise during sliding
Inspect the rollers for damage or wear. Ensure the track is clean and free of grit. Lubricate the track and rollers lightly if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant.
Track is sagging or feels unstable
Re-check wall mounting points. Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened into solid wall studs or appropriate anchors. If sagging persists, the wall support may be inadequate for the load.
Door stoppers not holding effectively
Adjust the position of the stoppers to ensure they securely catch the door hangers. Ensure they are tightly screwed into the track.
