Are these exterior sliding door systems only to be used outdoors?

Not necessarily. Runners’ exterior sliding door systems are built to be used in external settings thanks to their robust build quality and anti-degrading properties. However, these qualities make them just as effective when used in internal settings, too. Before you purchase a sliding door system from Runners, be sure to check the product details to see whether it is best suited to outdoor or indoor jobs. Alternatively, get in touch with the Runners team today and we’d be happy to advise you on which product would be best for your project.

Are exterior sliding door kits weatherproof?

Exterior sliding door systems are built with the weather in mind. Because they’re situated outdoors, they need to be able to withstand changes in weather - including rain, sleet and snow - as well as temperature changes, all while maintaining their structural integrity. That’s why many exterior sliding door tracks are crafted from aluminium, which does not degrade in the presence of water or moisture, making it an ideal choice for external applications. But be sure to check the product listing for specific weatherproofing qualities, or reach out if you need more information.

Does the door weight matter when using exterior sliding door systems?

Yes - before ordering an exterior sliding door system from Runners, you should already be aware of the weight of the doors you will be working with. Sliding door systems are designed to be used with specific door weights, so that the track being used can uphold the doors in question. Pairing a sliding door track with the wrong doors can result in them not opening and closing as planned, or the system failing entirely. Speak to a Runners expert today if you are unsure which sliding door system you need.

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.
