Towards the end of the door place a vertical bar will stop the door and close. Our recommendation is to do the same with as the previous length. Next, screw the guide rail in the horizontal bar. In these rails it's recommended to place stops in the desired place to prevent the door from reversing or fully closing. Screw the mechanisms of the slide bearing on the top edge of the blade, as recommended by the manufacturer. Then screw the floor guide rail. Hang the door on the upper guide rail and check that it moves freely.
