1 Make a stud wall 74mm to 105mm thick,
600mm from the back wall with a hole to fit the
SpeedRobe. Hole in stud wall must always be
2050mm high.
Choose hole width from table right:
2 Open Speedrobe box and check components.
Please note doors are not supplied with
Speedrobe kit. Any 35mm Premdor door of the
size shown in the table can be used with the
Speedrobe kit (excludes Wessex range). The kit
is made from white primed foil wrapped MDF
and this must be painted after installation with a
basecoat and topcoat paint system.
3 Take left hand leg from the kit (the groove in the leg
faces outwards and the rebated end should be at the
top). Fit 3 metal angle brackets to the leg using 2 off
25mm screws provided. Screw through the circular
holes in the brackets using the groove in the back
of the leg as a guide for the position of the screw.
Position 1 bracket 100mm from the top of the leg, 1
bracket 100mm from the bottom of the leg and the
3rd bracket central between the other brackets.
4 Measure stud wall
thickness and position
the second set of
metal angle brackets
opposite the first
set, spaced so that
the gap between the
brackets is 1mm wider
than the width of the
wall. Fix the brackets
to the leg using 1 off
25mm screw placed
centrally through the
horizontal slot in
the bracket.
5 Fit brackets to right hand
leg (as per steps 3 & 4).
6 Fit left hand leg to stud
wall. The metal angle
brackets should be a tight
fit around the wall. Adjust
the brackets if necessary
by sliding the second set
in or out on the
slotted hole.

18 Select and fit the 2 black top runner guides to the top
of the door. Position these guides 40mm from the
long edge of the door using the counter sunk headed
25mm screws in the pack with the runners. Position
the top runner guided so that they are flush with the
top edge of the door. Position the screws so that they
are in the middle of the slots in top runner guide – this
will allow them to be adjusted later if necessary.
19 Select and fit the 2 bottom rollers to the bottom of the
door. Position these guides 40mm from the long edge
of the door using the round headed 25mm screws in
the pack with the rollers. Position the rollers so that they
overlap the bottom of the door by 3mm. Screw through
the central hole on the angled slots – this will allow them
to be adjusted later if necessary. Do not put a screw in the
hole at the top of the roller.
20 Fit the right hand door by placing the bottom rollers on
the rear track. Stand the door up vertically then push up
the sliding tab on the top runner guide, it will click into
place. This should lock the door in place stopping it falling
backwards or forwards.
If the door cannot be positioned vertically because the
top runner guide will not pass under the top track, or if
the sliding tab does not hold the door in place when it is
fully extended, adjust the position of either the top runner
guide or the bottom roller, or both, so that the door
cannot fall out.
12 Drill 3 holes through the back track groove in the head.
One hole 200mm from each end and one half way along
the length. Counter sink the holes. Place wedges provided
between the head and stud wall adjacent to the 3 holes.
Screw the head to the stud wall using the 50mm screws
provided.
14 Drill 3 holes through the central track groove in the cill.
One hole 200mm from each end and one half way along
the length. Counter sink the holes and screw the cill to the
floor using the 50mm screws provided. Please note the
outer track groove should be positioned on the inside of
the wardrobe.
13 Measure between the 2 legs and cut the cill section to
length. This is the 2.4m long piece with 2 track grooves
without a groove in the outer 25mm faces.
7 Position leg so that it is vertical and plumb and then screw to wall using 25mm
screws fitted through the horizontal slot in the metal angle brackets on the outer
wall. Do not screw the inner metal angle brackets to the wall at this stage.
8 Repeat with right hand leg.
head to length. Measure from inside of rebates at the
top of the legs. Select the head – this is the 2.4m long
piece with 2 track grooves and a groove in the outer
25mm face. Cut the head to length so that it fits snugly
into the rebates at the top of the legs.
10 Fit 3 metal angle brackets to the head using 2 off

Check that the door slides from side to side smoothly.If
necessary adjust the position of the head, by loosening the
screws in the vertical slots in metal brackets, so that the door
does not jam or fall out when it is slid from side to side. In
extreme cases, the wedges between head and stud wall may
need adjusting.
If the right hand edge of the door is not parallel with right
hand leg adjust the position of the bottom rollers until they
are parallel. The position of the top runner guides may need
adjusting if the position of the bottom rollers are changed.
Repeat the previous step with the left hand door.
Make sure that the word LOCK is on the left hand side of the
door when viewed from above before fitting the top runner
guides and bottom rollers.
After all adjustments are complete, fit the third screw into
each of the bottom rollers.
21 If you are making a 2 door wardrobe proceed to next
step before fitting the left hand door. If you are making a
3 door wardrobe fit the left hand door following the same
procedure as fitting the right hand door.
15 Cut to length and fit the 2 T-shaped aluminium tracks to
the cill using the screws provided. If the screw holes at the
cut end are more than 100mm from the end after cutting
drill new holes 50mm from the cut end.
16 Cut to length and fit one T-shaped aluminium
track to the rear groove in the head using the screws
provided.
DO NOT FIT THE CENTRAL TRACK AT THIS STAGE.
If the screw holes at the cut end are more than 100mm
from the end after cutting drill new holes 50mm from the
cut end.
17 Select the doors and check the top of the door to see
if the word ‘LOCK‘ is printed on the door. This indicates
which edge of the door can be fitted with the handle.
(Some Premdor door designs will not have the word lock
on the top and the handle can be fitted to either edge of
the door).
Select the door that will be the right hand wardrobe door.
Rotate the door so that the word LOCK is on the right
hand side when viewed from above.
25mm screws provided. Screw through the circular holes
in the brackets using the groove in the back of the head
as a guide for the position of the screw. Position 1 bracket
200mm from the left edge of the head, 1 bracket 200mm
from the right edge of the head and the 3rd bracket
central between the other brackets.
11 Position head and fix in place with 25mm screws through the centre of vertical slots in the metal angle brackets. Adjust the
head so that it is plumb and the angle between the leg and head is 90 degrees. If necessary adjust the position of the legs to
make sure that the legs and head are correctly positioned with respect to each other.

22 Cut to length and fit the T-shaped aluminium track
to the central groove in the head using the screws
provided. If the screw holes at the cut end are more
than 100mm from the end after cutting drill new holes
50mm from the cut end.
23 Select the middle door. Rotate the door so that the
word LOCK is on the right hand side when viewed from
above. Fit the top runner guides and the bottom rollers
to the door and install the door onto the front set of
aluminium tracks.
24 Check that the doors all slide freely and do not fall out,
adjust if necessary. Fit 25mm screws through the 2
holes in rear metal brackets. Fit 25mm screws through
the unused slots in the outer metal brackets on the
legs and heads.
Please note: Failure to implement the instructions shown above/overleaf will invalidate your guarantee. Premdor is not liable for remedial work required as a result of incorrect
installation of doorsets.
29 Paint the Speedrobe kit and if necessary the doors
using a good quality basecoat topcoat paint system
following the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
25 Fit the pre-cut architrave into the grooves in the legs
using a “no nails” type adhesive.
28 Using a 32mm bit drill the holes for the handles 1000mm
from the bottom of the door and 50mm from the edge
of the door. If you are making a 3 door wardrobe the
handle on the central door should be positioned on the
right hand side of the door. The handles can be fitted
after painting the doors, frame and architrave using ‘no
nails’ type adhesive. The kit contains white and brown
handles.
27 Measure, cut and fit the top trim piece immediately
below the architrave in the head. Use ‘no nails’ type
adhesive to hold it in place. It may be necessary to pin
it in place while the adhesive cures.
26 Measure, mitre cut and fit the architrave to the head.
One end is pre mitred.
