How to Put Mirrors on Sliding Closet Doors

Adding mirrors to sliding closet doors is a great way to upgrade the look of your bedroom or closet. It can also make the room feel larger and brighter. Here are the essential steps on how to put mirrors on sliding closet doors:

Materials you'll need:

Mirrors
Mirror adhesive
Caulk gun
Caulk
Safety glasses
Gloves
Measuring tape
Level
Screwdriver
Drill
Safety glasses

Step 1: Prepare the closet doors

Remove the closet doors from the track. Lay the doors flat on a stable surface. Clean the surface of the doors with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 2: Measure and mark the mirror placement

Use a measuring tape to measure the height and width of the closet door. Mark the center of the door with a pencil. This will be the center of the mirror.

Step 3: Apply the mirror adhesive

Apply a bead of mirror adhesive around the perimeter of the mirror. Use a caulk gun to apply the adhesive evenly. Be careful not to apply too much adhesive, as it can ooze out from under the mirror.

Step 4: Position the mirror

Carefully lift the mirror and position it on the closet door. Align the center of the mirror with the center mark you made in Step 2. Press down on the mirror to secure it to the door.

Step 5: Caulk the edges

Apply a bead of caulk around the edges of the mirror. Use a caulk gun to apply the caulk evenly. Smooth out the caulk with your finger or a caulk tool.

Step 6: Reinstall the closet doors

Once the caulk has dried, reinstall the closet doors on the track. Open and close the doors to make sure they operate smoothly.

Tips:

Wear safety glasses and gloves when working with mirror adhesive and caulk.
Use a level to make sure the mirror is hung straight.
If you are not comfortable installing the mirrors yourself, you can hire a professional.

Following these steps, you can easily add mirrors to your sliding closet doors and give your bedroom or closet a fresh new look.
