A Better Way to Frame-In Closet Door Openings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 4, 2011 -- The MAGIGLIDE ® Bi-Fold Closet Door System
Design Suggestion: Specify Metal "Trim" Bucks to Frame-in Closet Openings
Because MAGIGLIDE ® Bi-Fold Closet Doors are made to fit exactly closet openings, contractors on many large-scale
residential projects wait until the closet openings are framed-in and sheetrocked before submitting field dimensions
for production. As a result, doors may arrive long after the closet openings are finished, often taking more time to produce than contractors would prefer given the demands of tight construction schedules.

Additionally, there is always the risk that a few openings might be measured incorrectly, resulting in the need to re­order a few doors- resulting potentially in additional delay.

There IS a better way to utilize MAGIGLIDE ® doors! Architects can specify metal trim-bucks to frame-in closet openings,
thus assuring precise finished openings for each closet. If metal bucks are employed, the project's metal door supplier

can generate exact opening details for each closet. MAGIGLIDE ® doors can then be ordered off the hollow­ metal door schedule well in advance of the closets being framed-in. This means that MAGIGLIDE ® doors will be delivered exactly when needed!

The benefits of specifying metal trim-bucks in your closets:

-NO need to field-measure each closet opening!
-Closet openings will have precise widths and heights!
-Doors can be ordered right off the plans!
-Smoother installations- doors will fit precisely into your
closet openings. Save time and money.

-Tough, permanent metal closet jambs instead of easy-to-damage corner beads and compound.
-Full height (8') openings easily achieved resulting in easy tenant access to upper shelves.
-On-Time deliveries

-Eliminate measurement Errors
-A limited handful of pre-determined opening sizes
-Happy Clients, Happy Contractors, Happy Installers.

For example, New York City Architect Einhorn Vaffee Prescott specified metal trim-bucks on the last three new dorms they
designed at St. John's University in Jamaica (Long Island,) NY to compliment the MAGIGLIDE ® doors. The 8' tall metal
bucks EYP specified to frame each closet cell resulted in precise "finished" openings. Based on dimensions provided

by the metal door supplier for bucks they supplied, MAGIGLIDE ® doors were ordered from the plans well before the
closets were framed-in and sheetrocked - and the doors were delivered on time and exactly when needed! The client and
the contractor were very happy indeed with the results.

The money and time (time is money) to be saved by NOT having to measure each closet opening and the timely door
deliveries resulting will offset any additional costs for the metal bucks. Metal trim-bucks can be used on all types of large-scale residential projects, such as Up-Scale Mid and Hi-Rise Condos and Apartments, Senior Housing.

Market-Rate Mid and Hi-Rise Condos and Apartments,
Student/University Housing, Vacation/Time-Share
Developments, Affordable/Subsidized Housing, ADA Handicapped
