What is the difference between pivot wardrobe door kits and sliding wardrobe door kits?

Sliding wardrobe door kits and pivot wardrobe door kits are both attractive and interesting alternatives to traditional hinged doors, albeit they operate slightly differently. While sliding wardrobe door kits allow doors to slide from side to side (as the name suggests) pivot wardrobe door kits are used on wardrobes and doors that are built to allow the doors to ‘pivot’ into a hidden cavity - much like pocket doors - once moved to the side. It’s an extra aesthetic touch that’s caught on in recent years and makes a fine addition to suitable wardrobes and cabinets in living rooms, kitchens, offices and more.

Do I need specific tracks for sliding glass doors?

Yes. Using sliding door tracks that are not suitable for glass doors will surely lead to damage on the part of both the sliding door kit equipment and the glass door itself. If you will be using sliding glass cabinet doors or similar, you should check out our options for glass doors listed above, or contact a Runners representative for more information and advice.

Can I use any sliding door with the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit?

While the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit is usable with a wide range of standard-size pocket doors, it is not suitable for all doors. In the product listing, you will see a dropdown menu featuring numerous door-size dimensions. Choose the dimensions that fit the door you will be using to ensure the installation process will run smoothly. Alternatively, get in touch with Runners if you have any questions.

Is the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit durable?

Very. This single pocket door kit has been put through rigorous testing before being made available for purchase, including testing the rollers to up to 100,000 cycles. This means, in all likelihood, users of this kit will enjoy countless hours of uninterrupted use once it’s installed, making it excellent value for money and a great product to have in your arsenal if you’ll be offering pocket door installation for your clients.

Can I use the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit to install sliding glass doors?

It is possible to install single-pocket glass doors with the Absolute Evo kit, but not as it comes. You can pair the kit with a glass conversion kit from Runners to allow for the installation and smooth rolling of glass pocket doors. For more information on the glass conversion kit, or to check if any of our other products meet your requirements more closely, speak to a Runners expert today.

Can I use doors heavier than 120kg with the Absolute Evo Pocket Door Kit?

No. The Absolute Evo pocket door kit cannot be used with pocket doors heavier than 120kg. The components in the kit are designed to be used with doors lighter than this. Using doors heavier than 120kg could put the structural integrity of the door and the system at risk. If you need a pocket door system that can handle heavier doors, feel free to explore the rest of the Runners range to find something more suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of DuraFold bi-folding wardrobe doors?

As the name suggests, DuraFold bi-folding door tracking systems are a super-durable folding door solution, allowing you to move your doors freely from left to right, or vice-versa, many times without fear of the folding door track system dislodging, failing or getting stuck.

They’re also very smooth in their motion, offering a pleasant folding door experience for the users. But, most obvious of all, they present a far more elegant and more exciting alternative to traditional wardrobe and cabinet doors.

What is the DuraFold bi-fold door track kit made of?

The top track of the DuraFold Bi-Folding Wardrobe Doors is made from Aluminium - one of the reasons why the folding door track system is so durable. Recognised as one of the most reliable and durable metals, aluminium’s exceptional strength-to-weight ratio makes it an ideal choice for creating tools and accessories that are both long-lasting and easy to lift and install.
