Step 1: Cabinet Preparation
The Hawa Configurator: Personalize your system
The Hawa Configurator simplifies the customization of your sliding door system. This intuitive tool lets you visualize, configure, and order the perfect system for your project. The 3D design feature allows you to see and interact with system components, even removing panels to understand how everything fits together.
At the end of the process, the tool generates a detailed PDF with:
- Recommended system specs
- A cutting list for custom sizes
- CAD files for designers and architects
This makes ordering faster and more accurate customers can send the PDF directly, speeding up the process. Play around with the tool to see how different settings change your design, and make sure everything is exactly as you need.
The cabinet must be perfectly prepared before installing any hardware.
What to check:
- Internal width, height, and depth match the PDF
- Cabinet is square and level
- Panels are rigid and securely fixed
Use the PDF:
Check exact minimum and maximum dimensions
