Sliding Door Systems

About

Sliding Door Systems, From the Gear Up A sliding door is only as good as the system behind it. This page covers our sliding door systems as systems — the track, gear, guides and options that decide how doors feel to use every day — across 150+ kits and components for wardrobes, room openings and built-in furniture. Top Hung or Bottom Rolling? Top hung systems (like the X-Slide) hang each door from rollers in the head track: action is smooth and silent, the floor stays clear, but the header above the opening must carry the full door weight. Bottom rolling systems (the E-Slide and PS-Slide wardrobe families) put the weight on the floor track, which suits standard bedroom installations where there's no structural header. Neither is "better" — it's a question of what your opening offers as fixing points. The Actions: Standard, Soft Close, Synchro Standard gear slides freely and stops where you leave it. Soft close adds a damper that catches the door near the end of travel and settles it closed — the PS-Slide system does this in both directions as standard. Synchro gear links two doors so one push opens both simultaneously; it's the premium action for cabinets and wide wardrobes, covered in depth at synchro sliding door kits . Sizing a System Tracks run 1200mm to 3000mm and most cut down cleanly. Two-door systems suit openings to roughly 2 metres; three and four-door systems carry wider runs with the right overlap. Door weight is the figure that catches people out — a 2400mm mirror door weighs far more than the same door in MDF — so check the per-door rating on each kit before committing. Complete ready-to-fit packages are organised at sliding door kits , with wardrobe-specific bundles at wardrobe sliding door kits . Folding and Specialist Systems Where a slider's overlap loses too much access, bifold gear folds doors back in pairs — see bifold door kits . Telescopic systems stack multiple doors to one side for the widest clear openings, and cabinet-scale gear brings sli
