Remove wardrobe floor frame (threshold?)
Anonymous user 12/11/2026 - 8.11 AM
Hi, I had a fitted wardrobe encapsuled in a wall nook with sliding doors. I've removed the doors and rails for renovation, but I need to remove the wooden frame on the floor (think, the threshold where the rails were fixed?) to make more space for the new wardrobe. Is it an easy job for an absolute DIY beginner? What is the easiest way to remove it without calling for a professional (I was quoted hundreds...!) Thank you!
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Yes, this is quite possibly a job you can tackle yourself, even as a complete DIY beginner. If the wooden threshold was simply installed to support the sliding-door bottom rail, removing it is usually fairly straightforward.
The main thing is to establish how the timber is fixed to the floor and whether it's purely part of the old wardrobe installation.

Hi! 😊 Yes, there's a good chance you can do this yourself, even as a complete DIY beginner. I certainly wouldn't pay hundreds of pounds without investigating it first!
From your description, it sounds like you have a bottom wooden threshold or floor track support left over from the old sliding wardrobe doors.
The good news is that these are often fairly straightforward to remove.
