Question 1

How much do mirror sliding wardrobe doors cost in Johannesburg?

Accepted Answer

Prices in Gauteng start at approximately R2,800 per door for standard mirror sliding doors and rise to R6,500+ per door for premium wood-panel or combination doors. A typical 3-door wardrobe (2.4m wide) is fitted for R9,500–R18,000 including installation. Final quote is confirmed after a free on-site measurement.

Question 2

Are sliding doors more expensive than hinged doors?

Accepted Answer

Sliding doors are usually 10–20% more expensive upfront than hinged wardrobe doors of the same size because tracks, rollers and larger panels cost more. They save floor space, last longer, and do not warp or drop, so homeowners recover the difference in longevity and usable bedroom space.

Question 3

How do I measure sliding wardrobe doors correctly?

Accepted Answer

Measure the finished opening width and height in millimetres at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest reading. Deduct 20–25 mm for track allowance. Each door in a 2-door installation is roughly (opening width ÷ 2) + 50 mm. For guaranteed accuracy, Mirror Robe offers free on-site measurement across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand.

Question 4

Which is better — mirror doors or wood panel doors?

Accepted Answer

Mirror sliding doors make small or dark bedrooms feel up to 40% larger and remove the need for a separate mirror. Wood-panel doors are warmer, hide fingerprints and suit period interiors. A mirror-and-wood combination is the most popular configuration in Sandton, Centurion and Fourways.

Question 5

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard 3-door wardrobe is measured, manufactured and installed within 7–10 working days from deposit. On-site installation takes 2–4 hours per wardrobe with flooring protected and all waste removed.

Question 6

Do you service my suburb?

Accepted Answer

Mirror Robe covers over 50 suburbs in Johannesburg, 35 in Pretoria and 30 across the East Rand — including Sandton, Rosebank, Fourways, Randburg, Bryanston, Centurion, Waterkloof, Hatfield, Kempton Park, Boksburg, Benoni and Bedfordview.

Question 7

Can you replace only the doors and keep my existing wardrobe carcass?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Provided the carcass is level and structurally sound, we replace only the doors and tracks — typically 30–40% cheaper than a full wardrobe replacement.

Question 8

What's the difference between top-hung and bottom-rolling sliding doors?

Accepted Answer

Top-hung doors carry all weight on an upper rail — the floor track is only a guide. They glide silently and are ideal for heavier mirror doors. Bottom-rolling doors ride on the floor track — cheaper but noisier and more prone to dirt build-up. Mirror Robe uses top-hung systems as standard for all mirror doors.

Question 9

Are your mirror doors safety-certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All mirror doors use 4–6 mm safety-backed glass compliant with SANS 1263 for interior glazing. In the rare event of breakage, the vinyl backing holds the glass together preventing falling shards.

Question 10

What warranty do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Mirror Robe provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on installation and a 10-year manufacturer warranty on tracks, rollers and hardware. Glass is warranted for 2 years. The warranty is transferable if you sell your home.

Question 11

Do you make custom sizes?

Accepted Answer

Every door is custom-manufactured to the millimetre. South African openings are often out-of-plumb by 10–30 mm, so we measure on site and build to fit — eliminating gaps and jamming.

Question 12

Can I get frosted or tinted glass instead of a mirror?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Options include frosted glass, satin-etched patterns, bronze-tinted glass and smoked mirror finishes — popular in en-suites where privacy is required.

Question 13

Do you offer walk-in wardrobe installations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beyond replacement doors we design full walk-in wardrobe systems with integrated shelving, drawers, hanging rails and LED lighting — popular in master suites in Bryanston, Waterkloof and Silver Lakes.

Question 14

How do I maintain sliding wardrobe doors?

Accepted Answer

Vacuum the bottom track monthly, clean glass with a 50/50 vinegar-and-water mix (never ammonia) and apply one drop of silicone spray to the rollers every 6 months. Avoid slamming and keep the track clear of small objects.
