Replacing Trim On Mirrored Sliding Closet Doors

Mirrored sliding closet doors are a great way to add style and functionality to your bedroom or closet. They can make a room look larger and brighter, and they provide easy access to your belongings. However, over time, the trim around the doors can become damaged or worn, which can detract from their appearance and functionality. Replacing the trim is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours.

Materials You'll Need

New trim
Mitre saw or mitre box
Caulk gun and caulk
Finishing nails
Hammer or nail gun
Measuring tape
Pencil

Instructions

Measure the length of the trim that you need to replace. Cut the new trim to the correct length using a mitre saw or mitre box.
Apply a bead of caulk to the back of the new trim. This will help to seal the trim and prevent drafts.
Position the new trim over the old trim and nail it into place using finishing nails. Be sure to countersink the nails so that they are flush with the surface of the trim.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining pieces of trim.
Once all of the trim is in place, caulk the seams between the trim and the doors. This will help to seal the trim and prevent drafts.

Tips

When cutting the trim, be sure to measure twice and cut once. It's better to err on the side of caution and cut the trim slightly too long than too short.
If you're not comfortable using a mitre saw, you can use a mitre box instead. A mitre box is a simple tool that helps you to cut precise mitres.
Be sure to countersink the nails so that they are flush with the surface of the trim. This will help to prevent the nails from snagging on clothing or other objects.
Caulk the seams between the trim and the doors to help seal the trim and prevent drafts.
