Plastic Upper Guide for 1/2" Door Gray

Plastic Upper Guide For 1/2 Inch Wood Doors

Plastic Upper Guide for 1/2" Door Gray keeps 1/2 inch by-passing wood doors running properly by locating them at the top, which supports smooth movement in the opening. The EPCO design as sliding door hardware works with by-passing wood door systems, so doors travel on separate planes without interference when crossing. The guide is 12 ft long, allowing one continuous run across wider openings, which reduces joints that can cause snags or misalignment. Its 1.344 inch width provides a defined guiding surface, which helps maintain door position over repeated cycles. The high impact, extruded polystyrene construction resists impact in normal sliding door use, so the guide stays serviceable under regular operation. The gray color of this upper guide provides a neutral appearance above the door, which blends into many wood door installations.
