Sliding Door Gear Tracks and Runners
Tracks and runners help sliding doors open smoothly without any friction. When assembling and installing sliding door tracks and runners, there are several options you can choose. There are different tracks available, suited for varying budgets, from cost-saving options to more premium kits. We have an extensive range of tracks and runners which are available in a selection of sizes and styles.
Pivot Sliding Systems
Pivot sliding systems are ideal for spaces which have limited functional room. These work by pivoting either left or right, which enables them to take up less space as they can be adjusted accordingly. They are also ideal for wheelchair users or people with physical disabilities. We have a wide range of pivot sliding systems for sale.
Heavy Duty Sliding Door Gear
Along with our furniture sliding door tracks and runners, we also offer a wide range of architectural sliding door tracks and runners, or ‘heavy duty’ sliding door gear. These types of tracks and runners are suitable for a range of applications, whether that’s an office partition, garage doors or more. These products are much more durable, and can support heavier doors, in comparison to domestic tracks and runners.
Wardrobe Tracks
Wardrobe tracks and runners assist sliding doors to open smoothly on wardrobes. There are many varieties of wardrobe tracks and runners, such as top sliding wardrobe tracks which can hold the whole weight of the door. This is a popular option for those who have sliding doors in walk-in wardrobes.
Pocket Sliding Door Systems
Sliding pocket doors are a stylish solution for homes and commercial spaces. When fitted with the appropriate pocket door gear, the panels slide open and disappear into the wall cavity. Sliding pocket doors are simple and easy to install. We have a range of sliding pocket door gear which is suitable for doors up to 160kg.
1.Length of the Track
In order to efficiently install tracks and runners, you’ll need to find out how long the track needs to be. Otherwise, you’ll have a track that’s too short, or too long.
2. Weight of the Doors
To make sure the doors slide without any friction from the track, you’ll need to make sure you’ve picked tracks and runners which are able to carry the weight of the doors. Some tracks and runners are made specifically for heavier loads.
3. The Type of Track
There are various types of tracks and runners available, so you’ll need to know which one you need. If you’re installing sliding pocket doors, you’ll need a specific type of track. If you aren’t sure which track you need, feel free to contact our technical support team who will be more than happy to help.
Glass Door Tracks
Glass door tracks are slightly different to normal tracks, as they have to be sturdy, but also implemented correctly, including a glass gasket for protection to ensure the glass doesn’t break. At Häfele, we stock a wide range of glass door tracks, so if you’re in need of tracks and runners which are suitable for glass doors, take a look today.
