Can all interior sliding door tracks work for all types of sliding doors?

At Runners, we stock a wide range of interior sliding door tracks catered to specific types of sliding doors. For example, our Stainless Steel Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit is suitable for both timber and metal doors, whereas our Tommaslide Tracks For Sliding Glass Doors are specifically crafted to move glass doors, so you need to be sure you’re purchasing the correct product for the doors you have. Speak to Runners if you need a hand.

Do glass sliding doors need specific sliding door tracks?

Yes. The build and durability of glass doors differ greatly from timber and metal doors, which is why they need sliding door tracks specifically built to ensure they roll smoothly without becoming damaged. The Tommaslide Tracks For Sliding Glass Doors - one of our most popular sliding door track kits - come with a soft-closing feature. A fantastic addition to make sure sliding glass doors close softly to avoid cracks, chips or shatters.

Can any doors be used as sliding doors?

No. Traditional hinged doors differ very much from doors that are designed to slide. Sliding doors are often far thinner, flatter and built to be more symmetrical than hinged doors, so they can slide back and forth gracefully and without catching. Before you purchase a sliding door track kit, make sure you have the correct sliding doors and match them to the kit you need - you can get in touch with Runners if you need a hand making a decision.

Are sliding door tracks easy to install?

All sliding door track systems differ depending on the type of door in your project. But they all follow a similar method. If you have some experience in joinery or DIY, you should have no issue installing sliding doors in your projects. Just follow the included directions and you’ll have your sliding door track systems up and running in no time. But if you run into any difficulty at all, speak to Runners - we’d be happy to help.

Are sliding wardrobe door kits easy to install?

Absolutely. All sliding wardrobe door kits from Runners are designed with ease of installation in mind - no intricate parts, no excessive lifting. All of our kits also include data sheets, so you can see exactly what parts need to go where, making the whole process much simpler if you’re unsure. Some of our pages even have instructional videos for an even clearer picture of what needs to be done. But if you’re still unsure, get in touch with Runners - we’d be happy to help.

What sliding wardrobe door kits do I need?

This depends on the type and weight of doors in your project. We have various sliding wardrobe door kits to suit a range of projects, so browse our selection to find the right kit for you. But if you don’t see the right kit for your project, or you think you might require something slightly different, speak to a member of the Runners team and we will be able to point you in the right direction.

Can I use sliding wardrobe door kits on any door?

No - sliding wardrobe door kits need to be used on wardrobe doors that are designed specifically for sliding. These doors are often much thinner and smaller than standard wardrobe doors, because they’re built to be used in a different way. Traditional wardrobe doors open outwards and are often far too heavy or the wrong dimensions to use as sliding doors, so be sure you have the right sliding doors for your project before making a purchase.

Does the weight of the door matter when using sliding wardrobe door kits?

Yes - our sliding wardrobe door kits are built with the weight of the doors you’ll be using in mind. This is because the materials are crafted to withstand different weights, so always double-check the weight of your doors before you begin. For example, our ProSlide 18 Wardrobe Track Kit is able to handle doors of up to 50kg in weight, whereas our Ultra Bypass Double Track Sliding Wardrobe Door Kits are able to withstand door weights of up to 100kg. Using doors that are heavier than the designated weights may result in the tracks struggling or failing entirely.

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

Does it matter which doors I use with this sliding door kit?

Absolutely. Sliding door kits from Runners are all custom-designed to be used in tandem with specific doors of specific weights. That way, the system will never be paired with a door that is unsuitable or too heavy, which could cause the sliding door kit to become damaged or even fail completely. If you’re unsure which sliding door kit you need for the sliding doors you have to hand, speak with a member of the Runners team today and we’d be happy to advise.

How long do sliding door kits last?

While there is no set shelf life on a sliding door kit, we can confidently say that these kits are built with longevity in mind. Often tested to hundreds of thousands of cycles before their sale, sliding door kits offer exceptional durability and will prove to be a fine addition to anywhere they’re installed for years to come. Some of our kits also come with a longer-than-average warranty, as a testament to our faith in their operation. Be sure to read the fine details of the product you’re viewing to learn more or speak to a member of the team.

Can sliding door kits be installed in any door space?

As long as a door space has been properly prepared to receive a sliding door kit, or is already suitable for a sliding door kit to be installed, the kit can usually be installed without issue as long as you have the correct size for the door gap you’ll be covering. This can be done by removing any existing door frame and treating the wall in accordance with the specific kit you have. If you’re unsure exactly what you need to do, a Runners expert is only an email away.
