How wide should a wardrobe door be? If it is too big, it is difficult to open the door; if it is too small, it will easily deform.

In home decoration, the wardrobe is a piece of furniture that is installed later; however, because the wardrobe is large in size, it will hardly move after installation. Therefore, we must also consider it carefully when designing the wardrobe to avoid There may be conflicts between the wardrobe and other designs, such as the wardrobe door being blocked by furniture and unable to be opened. In addition to the design of the placement of the wardrobe, the design of the wardrobe itself also needs to be carefully considered. Let me talk about the width of the wardrobe door.

1. How wide is the wardrobe door?

For a wardrobe to be easy to use, the size of the wardrobe door must also be designed reasonably. The width of the flat door wardrobe door is 380mm-450mm; while the width of the sliding door wardrobe door is generally about 600mm, with a maximum of no more than 900mm. If the width of the wardrobe door is too large, it will be difficult to open the door and it will easily conflict with other designs.

▲The width of the wardrobe door should be reasonable.

2. How to determine the width of the cabinet door?

The factors that determine the width of the wardrobe door are mainly the wardrobe Width, wardrobe door opening method, wardrobe cabinet partitions, reserved aisle dimensions for wardrobe doors and other furniture, etc.

①Opening method

The way the wardrobe opens is the key to determining the width of the wardrobe door. Wardrobes with flat doors, cabinets The force of door installation mainly depends on the door hinge, so the width of the cabinet door of the swing door is smaller;

▲The reasonable size and width of the swing door is 380-450mm

For sliding door wardrobes, the bottom and top of the cabinet door can increase the stress points, so the sliding door cabinet door can be made wider

▲The width of the sliding wardrobe door can be 600-900mm.

②Wardrobe size and division

After determining the wardrobe door opening method, the total width of the wardrobe is also a factor that affects the width of the wardrobe door. This is mainly determined based on the overall partition design and layout of the wardrobe, such as a 1.2-meter swing door. For a wardrobe, it is unreasonable to have 2 doors with a width of 600mm, and it is also unreasonable to have 4 doors with a width of only 300mm.For doors, it is 400mm, which is relatively more reasonable.

▲The total size and partitions of the wardrobe also affect the width of the wardrobe door.

③Aisle width

If the wardrobe has a flat door, then when determining the width of the wardrobe door, you should also consider the width of the aisle next to the wardrobe door. If the aisle size is crowded and there is a bed or bedside table, If the wardrobe door is too big, it may be blocked and cannot be opened. Therefore, the width of the wardrobe door must also be determined according to the width of the aisle.

▲The width of the aisle will also affect the width of the closet door.

3. The impact of unreasonable wardrobe door width

If the width of the wardrobe is unreasonable, there will be more troublesome problems later. Let me introduce some common problems.

①The cabinet door is blocked

Generally, the bedroom area is relatively compact, the aisle is small, and there may be a bed or bedside table next to the wardrobe. If it is a flat door, the closet door is too wide and the aisle is not enough space, then the wardrobe door may not be able to open. Opened.

▲If the aisle is not wide enough, the wardrobe door may be blocked.

②The cabinet door is too heavy and the hardware is deformed

The load-bearing capacity of the door hinge of the swing door and the slide rail pulley of the sliding door is limited. If the wardrobe door is too wide, the door will be heavier, and the hardware will be easily damaged, affecting the service life and quality of the door.

▲If the wardrobe door is too wide and heavy, the door hinges may be overloaded.

③The cabinet door is slender and easy to deform

Wardrobe doors, as plates, have certain deformation rules; especially if the width of the cabinet door is very small, the entire cabinet door will be relatively slender, and the chance of deformation will be greatly increased. .

▲The cabinet door is slender and easy to bend and deform.
