The first and second option do not contribute to saving space, because the canvas passes along the wall at a certain distance. But the cassette mechanism does not affect the location of the furniture, while its installation requires a wide opening or removing part of the wall.
The coupe, roller mechanism and cassette. When determining the type of mechanism, the weight of the canvas should be taken into account.

It is worth noting that the lower fixation in sliding systems can be three types:
- with the fastening of two plates on the floor, between which the lower end is inserted;
- the groove device directly in the end of the canvas for the guide;
- with installing metal rails on the floor.
The process consists of stages:
- fastening timber. To do this, apply a cloth to the impeach and read the line of its height. Next, the one more line is 7 cm above the already marked. At this level, the timing is fixed in such a way that one half of the length is above the opening, the other is on the side where the door will move away. The bar is fixed using anchors strictly horizontally to eliminate unauthorized door opening;
- installation guide. Previously, the holes with a periodicity of 15 cm are drilled in it, fixed to a wooden bruse with self-draws. Rollers are introduced into the guide and put rubber stoppers for the closure of the ends;
- registration of lower fastening. The groove in the canvas is cut with the help of the chisel, its sizes should be slightly larger than the lower guide. Next to the upper end fix the brackets, they already hold onto the rollers in the guide. The canvas is attached to the upper rail, and the door to the open position - this is noted the location of the lower guide, it is fixed;
- installations of the canvas, for which it is first put on the guide in the lower part of it, then fasten on the rollers.
The process can be over without a third point in the event of a selection of interior door coupe only with the top guide. But the solution with the presence of additional lower fasteners is preferable due to its reliability.
Ends the installation to install the door to the correct position. To do this, in the system there are adjusting bolts, along the level of the canvas put strictly into the vertical position. Now the doors can functionally work, but the visual design of the opening is required. It takes a mounting of the racks on both sides of the door frame in the places of the canvas adjacent in extreme positions. Dobors are used to hide the fasteners, then fittings are installed on the canvas. Prints are fixed with glue or small nails.
