A Sliding Door System is a type of door mechanism that operates by sliding horizontally along a track, rather than swinging open on hinges. It is widely used in both residential and commercial spaces due to its space-saving design, modern aesthetic, and ease of use.

Components of a Sliding Door System

1. Track: A horizontal rail installed at the top or bottom (or both) that guides the door’s movement.
2. Rollers: Wheels attached to the door that glide smoothly along the track.
3. Panels: The door itself, which can be made of materials like glass, wood, or metal.
4. Hardware: Includes handles, locks, and other accessories for functionality and security.
5. Stoppers: Prevent the door from sliding off the track.

Benefits of Sliding Door Systems

1. Space-Saving: Ideal for tight spaces where swinging doors are impractical.
2. Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a modern and sleek look to any space.
3. Versatility: Suitable for interior and exterior applications.
4. Ease of Use: Smooth operation with minimal effort.
5. Natural Light: Glass sliding doors maximize light flow, enhancing indoor brightness.

Applications

• Residential: Bedrooms, closets, patios, and balconies.
• Commercial: Offices, retail stores, and conference rooms.
• Public Spaces: Hospitals, schools, and hotels.
• Industrial: Warehouses and storage facilities.
