Position the top track against the ceiling, where your sliding doors will be fitted.

Use a pencil to mark the ceiling against the front edge of the top track.

Position the front edge of the OHR bracket against the pencil line, around 200mm from each side wall.

Use even spacing and insert the necessary OHR’s into your opening.
-
Mark and drill holes into the ceiling using the slots in the bracket.

Using the most suitable fixing for your surface, insert each plug into the holes. Check our guide to fixings or speak to a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure on which plug is best.

Attach the bracket to the ceiling using the fixing screws.
