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.

Are sliding wardrobe door kits easy to install?

Absolutely. Even if you have little to no experience installing sliding wardrobe door kits, and barely any DIY experience whatsoever, the way our kits are built makes them very easy to install with as few parts and minimal effort required. The included tracks make it easy to align the doors you’re working with, for smooth sliding each and every time. But if you need a hand installing sliding wardrobe door kits from Runners, reach out to a member of the Runners team and we’d be more than happy to offer advice.

Do bi-folding wardrobe door kits work with any doors?

No. To install one of our bi-folding wardrobe door kits successfully, you need to ensure you’re working with the correct folding doors. When choosing a kit, ensure the doors you have meet the size, weight and panel numbers of the kit in question before making a purchase. Be sure to read the product description thoroughly and match the provided information with the dimensions and information of the doors you’ll be working with. But if you’re struggling to choose, get in touch with Runners, we’ll be able to help.

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.
