6' Aluminum Extruded By-passing Double Track 7003

6' Aluminum Double Track For Bypassing Doors

6' aluminum extruded by-passing double track gives you a dedicated upper guide for a pair of sliding doors, so each panel moves on its own lane without interfering with the other. The extruded aluminum construction forms a rigid profile that supports smooth door travel over the full 6 foot run. As a double carrier track, it provides two parallel channels, allowing two 1.375 inch bypassing doors to slide past each other in the same opening. The track works as part of a sliding door hardware assembly, handling the alignment role at the head of the opening. Hettich America Corporation backs the design and part numbering, giving you a clearly identified component for planning, ordering, and repeat jobs where the same track profile and length are required.

Track Details That Support Sliding Door Work

• The extruded aluminum double carrier track uses a formed profile that guides bypassing door carriers, helping doors travel consistently along the opening and supporting repeatable operation on closets or similar installations.
• The two-track layout provides separate paths for a pair of doors, so one 1.375 inch door can move in front of or behind the other, allowing full access to either side of the opening depending on door position.
• The 6 foot length matches many standard residential and light commercial spans, often reducing field cutting while still giving enough run for typical bypass door widths along a closet or cabinet face.
• Pre-formed holes spaced every 11 inches give regular fastening points along the track, helping distribute load to the structure and maintain straight alignment over the entire length once fastened.
• The track is classified as sliding door hardware within builders hardware, situating it among head tracks and guides typically used where sliding access is preferred over hinged doors in tight or linear spaces.

Mounting Characteristics Of The 6 Foot Track

The extruded aluminum double carrier track has holes every 11 inches, which establishes a clear fastening rhythm during installation and supports consistent load transfer into the mounting surface. This pattern lets installers place fasteners at predictable intervals, helping hold the track straight so carriers run smoothly. The track is specified for 1.375 inch bypassing doors, so when doors are sized around that thickness the channels help keep the panels tracking in plane. At 6 feet long, the track can span typical closet or opening widths without seams, limiting potential alignment breaks where carriers could bind. As part of sliding door hardware, this head track becomes the main upper guide component that works with door carriers chosen to match its profile.

Using This Hettich Track In Door Layouts

Where The Double Carrier Track Fits Best

This 6' aluminum extruded by-passing double track from Hettich America Corporation serves as a head track in sliding door layouts where two doors share one opening. The double carrier configuration is intended for 1.375 inch bypassing doors, so it suits layouts designed around that door thickness. Within builders hardware and sliding door hardware, it plays the role of upper guide, carrying the door carriers along its channels while doors clear the floor and threshold area. The 6 foot length works naturally on many closet and similar openings where a continuous top track is preferred over joining shorter sections, supporting more uniform door motion across the span. In jobs that repeat door sizes and openings, the defined manufacturer part number 50535 lets shops and installers specify the same track profile again for consistent assemblies.

Details That Help With Alignment And Consistency

The extruded aluminum body gives the track a continuous, formed profile so carriers encounter a consistent running surface from end to end, which supports smoother sliding behavior over time. Because it is a double carrier track, each bypassing door receives its own channel, helping maintain separation between panels and reducing contact points along the travel path. Holes every 11 inches influence how the track is secured, encouraging even spacing of fasteners that helps limit sag or twist between supports. That regular fastener layout contributes to keeping the two channels parallel, which is important for bypass doors staying in alignment as they cross. The specified use with 1.375 inch bypassing doors ties the geometry of the track to a known door thickness, so when doors and carriers are selected around that dimension the assembly is better positioned to run in plane. In sliding door hardware projects where repeatability matters, the combination of length, material, hole spacing, and part identification supports building multiple openings to the same standard.

Common Questions About The 6' Double Track

Select This Track For 1.375 Bypassing Doors

This 6' aluminum extruded by-passing double track is set up for 1.375 inch bypassing doors, so it matches projects built around that panel thickness. The double carrier design provides two sliding channels for paired doors sharing one opening. Holes every 11 inches help establish a clear fastening pattern that supports straight, continuous mounting over the 6 foot span. With Hettich America Corporation identified as the manufacturer and part number 50535 assigned, this track gives shops and installers a defined component to specify for recurring sliding door hardware jobs.
