Plastic Upper Guide for 1/4" Door Brown

Plastic Upper Guide For 1/4 Inch Doors

Plastic upper guide for 1/4 inch door is designed for by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so it helps keep paired doors running in defined upper channels when they slide past each other. This EPCO guide is part of a sliding door hardware system in the builders hardware and sliding door hardware category, so it supports typical residential or light commercial sliding door layouts using narrow doors. The guide is made from high impact, extruded polystyrene, which provides a rigid plastic profile that resists typical knocks at the head of the opening during normal operation. Its material construction also keeps the contact surface consistent along the length of the opening, which matters when you want smooth tracking for both wood and glass door edges.

Key EPCO Upper Guide Details In Use

• Design for 1/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors defines the door thickness this guide works with, so you can match it to panels that are built around that nominal size in sliding assemblies.
• High impact, extruded polystyrene construction gives the guide a stable plastic body, so it supports repeated door movement along the track contact area in typical woodworking and door applications.
• 12 ft long profile provides a continuous guiding surface across wide openings, so you can span long by-passing door runs without joints in the guide itself.
• 0.844 inch width sets the footprint of the guide at the head, so it helps you plan the groove or channel size when coordinating with surrounding framing or header details.
• Design for use with Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810 ties this guide to specific track profiles, so it can be matched to those tracks in a sliding door hardware layout.

Sliding Door Guide Fit And Track Alignment

This EPCO plastic upper guide for 1/4 inch door works with by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so it fits applications where doors share overlapping tracks above an opening. The 12 ft long length gives a single continuous guide segment, which simplifies alignment over longer runs because the guiding surface follows one extrusion instead of multiple shorter pieces. With a width of 0.844 inch, the guide presents a predictable bearing area for the door edge or track, which matters when routing or fitting recesses at the top of the opening. Its use with Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810 means the guide is suited to installations built around those track designs, keeping the system components coordinated.

Using This EPCO Guide In Sliding Systems

Where This Upper Guide Fits Sliding Door Runs

This plastic upper guide for 1/4 inch door serves by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so it fits situations where two or more doors slide past each other in front of a shared opening. As part of sliding door hardware, it works at the head of wardrobes, closets, or similar openings that use narrow 1/4 inch panels. Being 12 ft long, it reaches across wider spans commonly found in larger openings, so one piece can cover the full run. The guide width of 0.844 inch gives a defined size that fits alongside Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810, so it integrates into systems built around those tracks for controlled door movement.

Details That Support Consistent Sliding Performance

The high impact, extruded polystyrene body of this EPCO upper guide provides a uniform plastic surface along its 12 ft length, which supports consistent contact with door edges or related track surfaces as the doors slide. Its design specifically for 1/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors narrows the fit range, so the guide aligns closely with that door thickness in a sliding assembly. When paired with Plastic Track 212 or Kerf Track 810, the guide participates in a coordinated track-and-guide setup, which helps maintain door position in their respective paths. The 0.844 inch width creates a repeatable dimension for routing or kerfing at the head, so once the opening detail is sized, the guide profile can sit in place and support repeated sliding cycles.
