Abstract
A sliding closet door leaf is provided with a shuttle connector (40a) configured to connect the door leaf to a soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a) arranged in a door guide, and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a) comprises a door leaf connector (62a) configured engage with the shuttle connector (40a), wherein the shuttle connector (40a) is connectable to the door leaf connector (62a) at anyone of at least a first mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a), and a second mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle (60a).
Claims28
A sliding closet door assembly comprising
- a door leaf assembly configured to define a door leaf extending in a vertical door plane (P1;
- P2);
- and
- a door guide assembly configured to define a first door guide for guiding the door leaf between a first position and a second position along a horizontal guide axis (G1;
- G2) along the door plane (P1;
- P2);
- and
- a soft closing mechanism shuttle which is connectable to the door leaf to move with the door leaf between said first and second positions, guided by said first door guide, and to gradually brake the motion of the door leaf when approaching said first position,
- wherein the door leaf assembly comprises a shuttle connector configured to connect the door leaf to the soft closing mechanism shuttle, and the soft closing mechanism shuttle comprises a door leaf connector configured engage with the shuttle connector of the door leaf assembly,
- wherein the shuttle connector is connectable to the door leaf connector at anyone of at least a first mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle, and a second mutual vertical relationship between the door leaf and the soft closing mechanism shuttle.

A method of connecting a sliding door to a frame, the method comprising:
- suspending the door in a top guide;
- attaching the door to a soft closing mechanism shuttle guided by a bottom guide;
- and
- adjusting a vertical position of the door within a vertical adjustment range permitted by a vertical play in a connection interface between the door and the soft closing mechanism shuttle.
A sliding closet door assembly comprising
- a door leaf assembly configured to define a door leaf extending in a vertical door plane (P1;
- P2), the door leaf assembly comprising a pair of top riders which are connectable to a top guide;
- and
- a door guide assembly comprising a top guide for guiding a top edge of the door leaf between a first position and a second position along a horizontal guide axis (G1;
- G2) along the door plane (P1;
- P2);
- wherein the top riders comprise a snap arrangement configured to snap to the top guide via a pivotal motion of the door leaf in a lock direction about a horizontal pivot axis (S), thereby locking the door leaf to the top guide in such a manner that translation of the top edge of the door leaf in a direction transversal to the door plane (P1;
- P2) is prevented.
