A Step-by-Step Look at the Sliding Door Installation Process

Making the investment in fitted sliding doors is not just about improving storage; it’s transforming the functionality of the space you’re using. At MDC (Mirror Door Company) Ltd, we believe the best results come from a clear, professional process that takes you from initial idea through to a flawless installation. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we deliver high-quality sliding doors for homes across Scotland.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Design

During the consultation stage, at MDC (Mirror Door Company) Ltd, we take careful time to understand how you use your current space, how you want to use your future space, what style you’re looking for and what storage challenges you want to solve. Whether you are considering mirrored doors to maximise light or go bolder with colour glass panels to make a design statement, we will be there to help guide you through the options.

Step 2: Professional Measurement

Accurate measurements are essential for sliding doors to operate smoothly and look seamless. That’s why we carry out a professional measuring service rather than relying on estimates. We carefully assess floor levels, ceiling heights and wall alignment to ensure the doors will fit perfectly. This attention to detail helps avoid gaps, misalignment and operational issues further down the line.

Step 3: Manufacturing in Our Cumbernauld Factory

Once measurements and designs are finalised, your sliding doors are manufactured at our purpose-built factory in Cumbernauld. Keeping manufacturing in-house allows us to maintain strict quality control at every stage of production.

Each door is made to measure using high-quality materials, ensuring durability, smooth operation and a premium finish. This local manufacturing approach also allows us to offer consistent lead times and dependable standards across every project.

Step 4: Preparing for Installation

Before installation begins, we ensure everything is properly ready, from final checks to scheduling at a time that suits you. Our experienced team arrives fully prepared, minimising any disruption that could impact you and your home. We take care to protect surrounding areas and work efficiently, ensuring the process is clean, tidy and stress-free.

Step 5: Professional Installation

Installation is carried out by our trained fitters, who specialise in sliding door systems. Tracks are carefully aligned, doors are fitted precisely, and all mechanisms are tested to ensure smooth, quiet operation. We also carry out final adjustments to guarantee that doors glide effortlessly and sit perfectly within the space.

Step 6: Final Checks and Handover

Once installation is complete, we carry out a final inspection and walk you through the finished result. We’ll explain how to care for your doors and ensure you’re completely happy before we leave.
