953 sliding glass door track with shoe from Knape and Vogt is a sliding door hardware component designed for 1/4 inch glass. The track works with glass that is 1/4 inch scant or full, so it handles typical glass size variation on cabinet or casework jobs. The track length of 144 inches allows long upper runs to be handled in a single piece, which reduces joint points along the opening. The zinc finish on this track provides a clean, bright appearance that suits many shop and display environments. The product is described as upper track, so it is intended for the top run of a sliding glass door system. Because this track is part of sliding door hardware, it serves as a guide path so ball bearings can provide smooth motion along the lightly curved bottom profile.
This sliding glass door upper track measures 5/8 inch high and 144 inches long, so installers can plan header depth and opening width around those fixed dimensions. The shoe for 1/4 inch glass-scant or full means the glass edge sits in a profile tailored around that glass thickness, supporting alignment between the glass and the upper track. The lightly curved bottom positions ball bearings for free rolling, so when the upper assembly is integrated into a sliding door layout, the hardware can use that curvature as the running surface. Because the product is identified as upper track, it is intended to pair with related sliding glass hardware in a typical top-and-bottom track arrangement.
The Knape and Vogt 953 ZC 144 track is classified as sliding door hardware in the builders hardware category, so it fits applications where glass doors need to travel along an upper guide. The 5/8 inch height supports use in cabinet, fixture, or display headers where the vertical space above the glass is limited yet still needs a defined running channel. The 144 inch length allows this upper track to span long casework or display units as a single piece, which can help keep the glass doors running on one uninterrupted alignment. Because the shoe is for 1/4 inch glass-scant or full, this track works in setups using glass around 1/4 inch thickness, such as many display and cabinet fronts that rely on sliding glass panels instead of hinged doors. The zinc finish provides a neutral metallic appearance that suits commercial woodworking environments where exposed tracks must look consistent across multiple openings.
The lightly curved bottom of the 953 sliding glass door track is designed for a free rolling position on ball bearings, so the contact area between the bearings and the track follows that curvature during operation. This geometry supports smooth travel because the bearings engage a defined path instead of a flat, wandering surface. The upper track shoe for 1/4 inch glass-scant or full holds the glass edge in a profile tuned for that glass size range, which helps keep the panel positioned correctly relative to the ball bearing hardware below. The track length of 144 inches means that the ball bearings run on a long, continuous surface, which reduces transitions that could interrupt the rolling feel along the opening. As sliding door hardware from Knape and Vogt, this track forms a controlled upper guide in systems built around ball bearing movement, supporting repeatable sliding behavior across multiple door cycles.
The 953 sliding glass door track uses a shoe for 1/4 inch glass-scant or full, so it is intended for glass panels around 1/4 inch thickness in sliding applications.
The product is described as upper track, so it is intended to serve as the top guide in a sliding glass door system using ball bearing hardware.
The 953 ZC 144 sliding glass door track is 144 inches long, allowing installers to span wide cabinet or display openings with a single continuous upper track.
The sliding glass door upper track measures 5/8 inch high, which helps when planning header dimensions and clearances for the sliding glass installation.
The lightly curved bottom is designed for a free rolling position on ball bearings, so the bearings follow a defined path that supports smoother sliding door travel.
The Knape and Vogt 953 ZC 144 sliding glass door track has a zinc finish, providing a consistent metallic appearance appropriate for exposed hardware locations.
The Knape and Vogt 953 sliding glass door track with shoe offers a 5/8 inch high, 144 inch long upper guide specifically described for 1/4 inch glass-scant or full. The lightly curved bottom is designed for free rolling ball bearing movement, which supports smooth sliding performance over the entire length. For projects needing a zinc finish track in this size and configuration, this upper track provides a defined running surface for sliding glass doors in cabinet or display work.
