Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13, 5' Length Tan
Description
Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 For Light Doors
Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 sets up a sliding system for 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors, so small and light panels move along a defined path instead of swinging into the room. The 5 foot long format spans common cabinet and small closet openings, letting one continuous track support the full travel. The track and guide system use high impact, extruded polystyrene, which resists everyday knocks while keeping weight low during handling and installation. Four number 33 button glides run in the plastic track, creating a smooth sliding action that keeps door movement predictable during repeated use. The assembly uses a plastic upper guide number 2212 together with a plastic track 212, so the door edge stays captured at the top while the lower running surface keeps friction consistent along the length.
Key Sliding Track Details For Daily Use
- The high impact, extruded polystyrene track and guide system supplies a rigid but lightweight path for the door, which simplifies mounting and helps the components handle frequent sliding cycles in cabinet or light door applications.
- The 5 foot long plastic track provides a continuous running surface, reducing interruptions in the glide path so the four number 33 button glides can travel without catches along the opening.
- The design for 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors focuses the fit around a specific panel thickness, which helps installers size door material confidently for the track profile.
- The recommended use on small and light doors aligns the assembly strength with modest door weights, which supports smooth, controllable motion when the door is moved by hand.
- The paired plastic upper guide number 2212 and plastic track 212 hold the sliding edge at the top and bottom, keeping the door guided so it tracks straight as it opens and closes.
Sliding Track Assembly Details For Clean Installation
The plastic 5 foot long track gives installers a single piece to position, which reduces layout joints along the opening and supports a straight sliding line. The high impact, extruded polystyrene construction keeps the components easy to cut to length with appropriate tools, allowing the assembly to match specific cabinet or opening widths. The track and guide system is configured for 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors, so the door edge sits correctly within the sliding path when sized to that thickness. Four number 33 button glides ride in the plastic track, distributing the contact points across the door edge to help the panel move evenly as it is pulled or pushed along the track.
Using EPCO Track No. 13 In Real Projects
Where This Sliding Door Track Assembly Fits Best
This EPCO sliding door track assembly applies to small and light 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors, directing them along a linear path rather than a hinged swing. The 5 foot long plastic track suits openings in cabinet runs, storage niches, or similar spans within that length, so one rail can serve the entire travel range. The high impact, extruded polystyrene track and guide system keeps weight low above the opening, which is useful when fastening to cabinetry or light framing that benefits from reduced load at the mounting surface. Because the system is recommended for small and light doors, it aligns with panels that are moved frequently by hand in everyday access points.
Why Track Components Matter For Smooth Sliding
The plastic upper guide number 2212 holds the upper edge of the 1/2 inch thick door, keeping the panel aligned vertically so it does not wander as it slides. The plastic track 212 provides the channel for the four number 33 button glides, letting them follow the same smooth path every time the door moves. High impact, extruded polystyrene in both track and guide supplies a stable, low-friction surface for those glides, which helps maintain consistent resistance along the full 5 foot run. Using four button glides spreads the load along the door edge, supporting steadier motion for small and light doors instead of concentrating wear at a single point. Together, these components create a defined travel route, which supports repeatable operation once the assembly is set relative to the opening.
Common Questions About EPCO No. 13 Sliding Track
What door thickness does this sliding track assembly support?
The Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 is for 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors, so panels cut to this thickness sit properly within the guide and track path.
Is this EPCO track assembly intended for heavy doors?
The Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 is recommended for small and light doors, matching its high impact plastic construction to modest door weights and everyday hand operation.
How long is the Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13?
The Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 uses a plastic 5 foot long track, allowing one continuous sliding path across typical cabinet or small opening widths.
What components guide the door in this track system?
The assembly uses a plastic upper guide number 2212 and a plastic track 212 with four number 33 button glides, which together hold and guide the door through its sliding travel.
What material is the track and guide system made from?
The track and guide system are high impact, extruded polystyrene, giving a rigid, lightweight plastic structure that supports repeated sliding contact from the button glides.
Which applications suit this 5 foot sliding track best?
The 5 foot track length suits cabinet or small opening spans where 1/2 inch thick small and light doors need a straight sliding path instead of a swinging hinge movement.
Select Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 For Fit
Sliding Door Track Assembly No. 13 from EPCO offers a focused solution when the project calls for small, light 1/2 inch thick wood or glass doors to slide across an opening rather than swing. The high impact, extruded polystyrene track and guide system, combined with four number 33 button glides, supports smooth door travel along the 5 foot length. When that door thickness, opening span, and light-door requirement align with your layout, this assembly provides a defined sliding path ready to integrate into the build.
