5' Aluminum Extruded Single Track 7001

5' Aluminum Track For .75 Single Or Bi-Parting Doors

5' Aluminum Extruded Single Track 7001 is an extruded aluminum double "I" beam track designed for .75 single and bi-parting doors, so it gives sliding wood or panel doors a defined path that keeps them moving in line along the opening. The 5 foot length supports typical small to mid-size sliding openings where a continuous straight track is needed across the top. The double "I" beam profile shapes the running surface for compatible sliding door hardware, helping the door travel in a consistent plane along the full run. Being part of Hettich America Corporation sliding door hardware, the track serves as the structural guide rail in a Hettich-based sliding system. The track belongs to the builders hardware sliding door hardware class, so it fits into projects where a dedicated sliding path is required above a doorway or cabinet-style opening.

Sliding Door Track Details That Support The Job

• This extruded aluminum double "I" beam track uses a formed aluminum profile, so it offers a rigid guiding surface for sliding door components over the 5 foot span.
• Holes every 11 inches in the track define repeatable fastening points, which simplifies aligning fasteners along framing or headers during installation.
• The 5' track length is suited to .75 single or bi-parting door layouts, giving one continuous run that matches many standard sliding door openings.
• As Hettich America Corporation sliding door hardware, the track is part of a recognized hardware line, which helps installers coordinate it with Hettich sliding components on similar jobs.
• Being categorized as builders hardware and sliding door hardware places this track in a dedicated role for sliding applications, which keeps it focused on door-guiding tasks rather than general framing.

Track Mounting And Fastening Characteristics

The extruded aluminum double "I" beam track is manufactured with holes every 11 inches, so fastener locations are already laid out along its length for direct mounting to a header or structural support. That regular 11 inch spacing supports a consistent mounting pattern that follows standard framing intervals in many structures. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 1-1/4" pan head screws, giving a specific screw size and length that matches the hole pattern and material thickness. Using #8 pan head screws with this track provides a head profile that bears on the aluminum around each pre-spaced hole, helping secure the track while keeping the running surface defined by the double "I" beam form.

Applying This Hettich Sliding Door Track On Projects

Where This 5 Foot Track Works Best

This extruded aluminum sliding door track is defined in the SAP description as 5FTALUM.TRACK for .75 single and bi-parting doors, so it is oriented toward openings where two .75 panels share a header or a single .75 panel slides alone. In these layouts, the 5 foot length can span the clear width of many small room entrances, closet openings, or similar sliding door runs where a single straight track is enough. The double "I" beam profile creates two flanges and a web in the aluminum, forming the path that matching sliding components use to carry the door panels. Because the track is part of sliding door hardware under builders hardware, it suits interior build-outs, millwork installations, or woodworking-based projects where a surface-mounted aluminum guide is preferred over a concealed channel.

Why These Track Details Support Repeatable Installs

The manufacturer part number 50520 and product name 5' Aluminum Extruded Single Track 7001 identify the same track, so installers can reorder the exact profile and length when repeating a successful sliding layout. The 5 foot dimension keeps handling manageable on site while still covering many door spans, reducing cutting for those common widths. Predrilled holes every 11 inches turn the track into a layout guide because each hole becomes a reference point to align with framing members or marked centers along the header. The recommended #8 x 1-1/4" pan head screws are sized for those holes and for fastening an aluminum section, which helps keep the rail seated against the mounting surface without distorting the double "I" beam shape. As a Hettich America Corporation component in the sliding door hardware class, the track occupies a defined role as the running rail within a coordinated sliding system, which gives installers a consistent part when assembling or expanding Hettich-based sliding door lines across multiple projects.
