Replacing Your Existing Wardrobes with Sliding Wardrobe Doors

Can I replace my existing wardrobes with sliding wardrobe doors? The answer is yes.

If you currently have hinged doors, you can usually upgrade your wardrobe by replacing them with sliding doors.

This process involves removing your existing hinged doors and taking accurate wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling measurements. 

We can then manufacture a new set of sliding wardrobe doors made to fit your space, helping you transform the look of your room while making use of your existing wardrobe interiors.

If all you are doing is replacing old sliding wardrobe doors with new ones, you can use the existing frames and interiors and just replace the doors and tracks. Likewise, if you already have one of our bespoke sliding door kits or standard-size SpacePro doors, it’s very easy to make the switch to something new.

In most cases, you cannot replace just the sliding wardrobe doors on an existing system, as the tracks and doors must be compatible within the same range to ensure correct operation.

The Benefits of Changing Your Sliding Wardrobe Doors

Our customers choose to change their style for various reasons, from wanting to refresh their bedroom interior to replacing damaged or outdated doors. Here are some of the best reasons to consider replacing sliding doors for your wardrobe instead of starting from scratch. 

Cost-Effective Solution

Replacing doors alone is so much more affordable than rebuilding an entire wardrobe from the ground up. With our easy-to-install kits, you can simply slide your new doors onto the existing tracks, and you’re done. No need to worry about tweaking your interior setup or paying out for a whole new piece of furniture!

Minimal Disruption

Swapping your doors won’t take long. If you’re a competent DIYer, our products can be installed in no more than a few hours, enabling you to enjoy a fresh look with minimal effort. DIY not your thing? Reach out to a local tradesperson if you need an extra bit of help.

Eclectic designs in the Eclipse Wardrobe Range

Easily Transform Your Room

Whether you’re completely changing the appearance of your room or you just want somewhere new to store your clothes, replacement sliding doors are the perfect solution. We offer a wide selection of styles to update your space. These include the following: 

SpacePro Standard Range: This is the best choice if you’re looking for a quick, budget-friendly bedroom update and direct drop-in replacements for existing SpacePro tracking.

Linear & Eclipse Made-to-Measure Ranges: Great for busy bedrooms, these are made with robust frames and premium glass finishes that are designed for longevity. These standout features make the Linear and Eclipse ranges some of our most popular.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

Keeping the structure of your wardrobe the same goes a long way towards boosting your eco credentials. By replacing just the doors, you will create less physical waste and reduce material disposal by up to 70%, minimising the amount of furniture that ends up in landfill.

Next Steps

If you’ve decided that purchasing new doors is the route you want to take, here’s what you need to do.

Step 1: Explore our made-to-measure and standard-size wardrobe kits to find your new style. 

Step 2: Make sure you know your wardrobe’s exact measurements and use our online designer to put together the perfect design for your new panels. Remember to read our measuring guide to double-check that you order doors in the correct size. If you have SpacePro products, you can find the right fit in our standard-size collection.

Step 3: Once ordered, start planning for the arrival of your doors. Most are delivered in 2-3 weeks, and we will always keep you updated on when you can expect to receive them. In the meantime, focus on buying any other new items you might require for your room, as well as familiarising yourself with our installation guide. If you need outside help fitting your doors, make sure you get this booked in as soon as you know when your doors are set to arrive.

Step 4: Install your doors (or have them installed for you) and bask in the glory of your bedroom’s beautiful new look!

Why Choose Slide Wardrobes Direct?

Instead of using cheap, lightweight materials favoured by other retailers, our replacement doors are made to last:

Structural Strength

We use heavy-gauge roll-formed steel and premium aluminium frames to prevent flexing or any warping over time.

Safety 

Our mirrored and glass panels are made with 4mm safety-backed glass, giving them high impact resistance compared to standard unbacked glass. 

For further added protection, a soft-close door option is available, which absorbs momentum to prevent doors from slamming and helps stop fingers from getting trapped between doors. 

Smooth Glide

Our bottom rollers are made to withstand tens of thousands of opening cycles without jumping the tracks, ensuring they stand the test of time.
