STEEL SLIDING WARDROBE DOORS IN DETAIL

Sliding wardrobe doors are constructed from a number of different components that affect the look and the performance of the doors. Below we outline the main components of our steel framed sliding doors with profile diagrams and technical dimensions. If you would like to understand how these components are put together please take a look at our how we construct our wardrobe doors guide. You may also find our article the difference between steel and aluminium doors useful.

Steel profiles

These are manufactured from high quality rolled steel and are available either spray painted in a variety of colours or vinyl wrapped with a choice of wood grain effects.

Steel top track (double runner)

The steel top track is available as a double runner. The top track can be installed with either the squared edge or sloping edge with shadow gap facing the front. The shadow gap side is useful if your ceiling isn't straight as the gap gives space between the ceiling and track and disguises any imperfections.

Steel bottom track (double runner)

This is the two runner bottom track.

Steel frame / stile

This is the profile of our steel frame doors. The frames are available in the following colours and wood effects.

Steel top and bottom rails

Unlike the aluminium system the steel system top and bottom rails use the same profile.

Steel H-bars

This is the steel H-bar which is used in all the door collections apart from the Como Collection. It allows the panels to be divided so that different designs can be created. The steel H-bar can only be used horizontally – please see our bespoke wardrobe doors page for more details.

H-bar spacers

The Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic H-bar spacers are used on doors that contain coloured glass or mirrored panels.

Bottom running gear (steel)

The bottom wheel casing is manufactured from a thick gauge steel with a zinc plating and the running gear can be adjusted in height by 15mm. The interior components include an ABS plastic inner movement, durable nylon wheels, 608 chromed steel ball bearings (rated ABEC-5) and an anti-jump mechanism.

The bottom running gear has a noiseless action when in use.

Top guides (steel)

The top wheel casing is manufactured from a thick gauge steel with a zinc plating and has an ABS plastic inner movement.

The interior components include a chromed steel ball bearing dual wheel with ABS plastic spring mechanism and rubber wheels. The top guides can be adjusted in height by 12mm and has a noiseless action when in use.

Door panels

These are available in 4mm coloured glass*, 4mm mirrored glass* or 8mm Kronospan and Egger plain colour or wood effect panels.

*all glass and mirrored panels are 4mm safety backed glass to BS6206.
