12' Aluminum Extruded Single Track 7001

12' Aluminum Track 7001 For Sliding Doors

12' Aluminum Extruded Single Track 7001 is an extruded aluminum double "I" beam track designed for sliding door hardware applications, so it provides a defined running path for door carriers and keeps the door movement aligned along the full 12 foot span. The track is part of the Hettich America Corporation sliding door hardware offering, which means it matches common layouts where a single overhead track guides doors in residential or commercial woodworking projects. The track is identified by manufacturer part number 50524, helping installers and shops tie this component directly to drawings, takeoffs, or replacement lists during planning. As a 12 foot length from Hettich America Corporation, it works well where a continuous, unspliced track run is preferred over shorter segments.

Sliding Door Track Details That Support Jobs

• This extruded aluminum double "I" beam track uses an aluminum body, giving a rigid, shaped guide channel for sliding hardware while keeping overall weight manageable during handling and overhead mounting.
• The double "I" beam design forms a defined running profile, so compatible sliding components stay captured in the track path and maintain consistent alignment over the entire 12 foot length.
• The track is part of sliding door hardware from Hettich America Corporation, tying into a known product class so shops can match it with other sliding components from the same source on multi-door runs.
• The 12 foot length reduces the need to join multiple shorter tracks, which simplifies layout and helps maintain straight, continuous travel for doors across wider openings.
• This track is supplied under manufacturer part #50524, giving purchasing and production teams a clear identifier to use in ordering, inventory records, and project documentation.

Mounting-Oriented Sliding Track Characteristics

This extruded aluminum track has holes every 11 inches, so fastener locations repeat along the 12 foot run and provide regular mounting points into the supporting structure. The consistent hole spacing helps installers plan their fastening pattern across framing or structural members without additional layout. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 1-1/4" pan head screws, which means the hole size and track thickness are suited to that screw size for typical attachment into wood or similar substrates. Because the holes are already provided in the aluminum I beam profile, the installer can position the track, align it along the door opening, and drive the #8 x 1-1/4" pan head screws into each 11 inch interval as conditions allow.

Using This Hettich Track In Sliding Door Runs

Where This Sliding Door Track Is Applied

This extruded aluminum double "I" beam track is specified for .75 inch single and bi-part door applications, so it suits layouts where door panels of roughly three-quarter inch thickness are carried by sliding hardware above the opening. By fitting .75 inch single doors, the track works for standard single-panel openings where one door slides across the width, while the same profile also supports bi-part doors where two panels meet and separate along the run. The 12 foot overall length lets the installer span wider openings or run past the clear opening to create a full travel path for one or two .75 inch doors. As part of sliding door hardware from Hettich America Corporation, this track fits naturally into woodworking projects that rely on overhead sliding action rather than hinged movement.

Why The Track Design Supports Consistent Results

Holes every 11 inches along the aluminum track mean fastening points are distributed at short, regular intervals, helping the track sit tight to the mounting surface and support the operational loads of .75 inch single or bi-part doors. The extruded aluminum double "I" beam profile gives the track a defined, rigid running shape, which helps sliding components travel smoothly and stay in line throughout the full 12 foot span. Recommended #8 x 1-1/4" pan head screws match the hole sizing, so the fasteners seat properly against the aluminum and clamp the track securely to the substrate in typical woodworking installations. Because the track is a continuous 12 foot piece, there are no intermediate joints in the running surface, which helps avoid interruptions in door travel and supports consistent performance over the entire sliding distance.
