Plastic Upper Guide for 1/4" Door Tan

Plastic Upper Guide For 1/4 Inch Door Use

Plastic upper guide for 1/4 inch door gives bypassing wood and glass doors a controlled track at the top, so the panels stay aligned as they slide past each other in everyday use. This EPCO guide is part of sliding door hardware, so it fills the upper guiding role while the bottom hardware supports the weight. The guide works with 1/4 inch bypassing wood and glass doors, so one profile can serve the common door thickness across different materials in the same opening. Its high impact, extruded polystyrene construction provides a rigid, shaped channel at the head, so the door edge runs smoothly against a consistent surface. The 12 ft length covers long openings in a single piece, so the run stays straight without mid-span joints that could interrupt the door travel. At 0.844 inch wide, the guide presents a compact footprint at the top of the opening, so it fits tight header conditions in typical sliding installations.

Key Sliding Door Guide Details For Projects

• The guide is designed for 1/4 inch bypassing wood and glass doors, so one component handles parallel panels that slide past each other in closets and cabinet applications.
• High impact, extruded polystyrene material forms the guide body, so the track profile maintains its shape under repeated door movement along the length.
• The 12 ft length spans wide openings in one continuous run, so the top guiding surface stays uniform from one end of the bypassing doors to the other.
• A width of 0.844 inch keeps the guide narrow at the head, so it can sit in typical header spaces while leaving room for surrounding trim and framing.
• The guide is intended for Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810, so it integrates into those track styles as part of a matched sliding door hardware setup.

Sliding Door Guide Fit And Track Integration

This EPCO sliding door guide is configured for 1/4 inch bypassing door leaves, so the edge of each wood or glass panel aligns correctly within the guiding surface at the head. The guide works with Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810, so it is sized to coordinate with those track profiles in a sliding door hardware assembly. Its 0.844 inch width lets the guide sit neatly against the chosen track, so the combined profile occupies a predictable space inside the head jamb or cabinet top. The 12 ft length gives a continuous guiding surface over the full span of the compatible plastic or kerf track, so the doors encounter the same channel along the entire slide path. High impact, extruded polystyrene construction allows the guide shape to follow the track line accurately, so the doors remain engaged with the guiding edge during movement.

Using This EPCO Guide In Sliding Door Runs

Where This Plastic Door Guide Performs Best

This plastic upper guide is specified for 1/4 inch bypassing wood and glass doors, so it performs in openings where two or more panels share the same head track and slide past each other. In closet or cabinet style applications, this matching thickness specification keeps each panel aligned along the same guiding plane, so door faces stay tracking in parallel. The guide is used with Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810, so it fits projects already laid out around those specific sliding door tracks in builders hardware installations. With a 12 ft overall length, the guide covers wide spans common in longer closet openings or multi-panel cabinet runs, so installers can run one continuous guide without breaking the line. The 0.844 inch width keeps the profile slim at the top of the opening, so it can be positioned within head members sized around standard sliding door hardware.

Details That Support Smooth, Repeatable Door Travel

The high impact, extruded polystyrene material used in this EPCO guide provides a consistent shaped channel, so the contact edge presented to the 1/4 inch doors does not deform easily under sliding loads. That stable shape keeps the doors moving in a predictable path over time, so bypassing panels do not wander out of alignment as they travel along the track. Because the guide is intended for use with Plastic Track 212 and Kerf Track 810, its form and dimensions coordinate with those tracks, so the upper guiding function matches the lower running path defined by the rest of the sliding door hardware. The 12 ft continuous length means the door edges see one uninterrupted guiding surface, so there are no segment joints at the head that could introduce catches or bumps during operation. The 0.844 inch width sets a known guide footprint, so layout around the head area can account for the guide location relative to framing, trim, and the specified track.

Common Questions About This Sliding Door Guide
