How complicated is it to convert a hinged two door closet to a sliding doors? @BMitch - Good points. The stop in the picture has a dark shadow on the right side and that may indicate split jamb. In that case I would go all the way down to framing. |

How complicated is it to convert a hinged two door closet to a sliding doors? The lowest piece of wood (that abuts the face of the door when closed) is called the stop. It should be close to square in cross section. This is probably nailed to the jamb (broad trim about 4 to 6 inches wide) above it. Remove stop by cutting paint seal and prying down. It should be held with just a few small nails. The jamb above it is a good solid based to work from (if it was properly installed). The track would be pushed up against the jamb and screwed through the jamb (5/8 to 3/4 inch thick) to the framing above it. If you want to avoid cutting doors, remove jamb as well. |

Are there octagon box extenders that are slimmer than 1 1/2" deep? It sounds like you are OK. If you can't find something like this locally, you probably can order from HD or Lowes online. |

Are there octagon box extenders that are slimmer than 1 1/2" deep? My concern is an old system that did use the armor as ground. Very common in older cities such as NYC. Still, good to check the code. |

Are there octagon box extenders that are slimmer than 1 1/2" deep? Is this a metallic sheathed cable system (sometimes called BX) or is it non-metallic (sometimes called Romex)? If non-metallic, I don't think the composition of the boxes or extenders have any bearing. If it is metallic cable DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT METAL. BX type systems rely on the box itself for ground and you need actual metal to metal contact. Not certain of exactly what code says and welcome weigh in from the community. |
