How do I work out the hanging of my door?
It will be frustrating to order a door only to find that the hinges are on the wrong side when it arrives. The terms “left-hung” and “right-hung” may be confusing but it is an important concept to get right as it cannot be changed once the door has been assembled.
To figure out whether your door is left or right hung, when the door is closed stand on the side where you can see the hinges. If the hinges are on the Left, it is Left Hung. If the Hinges are on the Right, it is Right Hung.
If you don’t have an existing door to work off, choosing the right handing for your door is still important. For example, if there is a wall next to your door, that is generally the best place to put your hinges as the door will open against the wall, leaving more space in your room.

The Jexis is the new and unique way of opening your Cavity Slider. The Jexis works by loading a spring mechanism when opening the door (specifically the last 15mm). Once the spring is charged, simply push on the door edge to release the spring catch and the door is propelled up to 100mm from the pocket.
CS SofStop is available as an optional extra for CS Cavity Sliders. Add a Sofstop to your new Cavity to enable a gentle braking of the door to help prevent slamming and potential injury.
The Sofstop is a must where quietness and safety are priorities.
