Using the doweling jig to make centered and parallel pilot holes.
Any misalignment of the flat head screws would show up easily on the exposed edges and back of the uprights. The jig improves confidence in putting the screws in properly.

Driving the 2 inch long #12 screws flush with the surface of the uprights. This hole is a bit deep.
I used 2 inch long screws on the sides to attach the header and footer to the uprights.
I used 1 1/2 inch long screws on the back to attach the mirror to the uprights.

Assembled door with white oak footer panel held to mirror with aluminum uprights.
We have owned the Mongstad mirror for years, and it has gotten a bit dinged up.

I use Scotch Blue masking tape for these projects. Comes off easily without leaving any goo behind.
I am using this modern chrome ceiling mount rail system purchased from Amaxon:

Using a stud finder, I locate the joists in the ceiling. They are on 24 inch centers.Capture Date: Apr 5, 2018 10:00 PM•Views: 117No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment

I verify the exact location of the joist by drilling small holes through the drywall.
I want to put the screws for the brackets for the rail squarely in the center of the joists.

I learn online that if the rail is not level, the door will slide slowly downhill.
The level is level, but the right side of the 4 foot long level is 1/4 inches below the ceiling. I will need to shim the brackets once I get their position on the ceiling set.

This is the biggest shim needed. Note filled holes from drilling to find the joist edge.Capture Date: Apr 7, 2018 06:13 PM•Views: 142No comments yet. All fields are required, fill in the form. Comment successfully added. Comment
