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.

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

Can the sliding barn door hardware kit be used outdoors?

This sliding barn door hardware kit is not designed for use externally and should only be installed in internal settings, such as a barn, house or office. Because the tracks are not weather-resistant, they will likely succumb to damage from consistently changing temperatures, as well as rain, sleet and similarly nasty weather conditions. If you’re interested in sliding door hardware that’s built for external applications, take a look at our selection here.

Can the sliding barn door hardware kit be used with any doors?

While this sliding barn door kit is suitable for use with both timber and metal sliding doors, it can not be used with any door. Be sure to read the product details carefully and ensure the door you will be working with suits this specific sliding door kit. If not, feel free to browse our selection of other sliding door kits until you find a solution that works for your doors, or get in touch with the Runners team if you require advice.

What happens if I use a sliding door heavier than 100kg with this sliding barn door kit?

Using a sliding door that is heavier than 100kg with this specific sliding barn door kit will eventually cause damage to the kit as well as the door. Because our sliding door kits and sliding door tracks are built to uphold specific weights, the correct doors must be used with the relevant tracks. Otherwise, the sliding doors will not function properly. If you need a sliding door kit that can withstand doors that weigh more than 100kg, explore the rest of the Runners range to find the right sliding door kit for you.

Is the sliding barn door hardware kit easy to install?

If you have experience installing sliding door kits, you should have no problem installing this sliding barn door kit. Considering it is a top-hung track kit, you may find it even easier to install than other kits that require multiple separate tracks. Having said that, even if you’ve never installed a sliding door kit in your life, the handy instructions will help you make light work of your project and have the sliding barn doors fully operational in no time. But if you need a hand with your installation, get in touch with the Runners team and we’d be happy to offer some advice.
