Aluminum Upper Guide for 3/4" Door 12'L, Mill Aluminum

Aluminum Upper Guide For 3/4 Door Use

aluminum upper guide for 3/4 door describes this EPCO 3334-M guide as sized for 3/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so it suits typical residential or light commercial sliding door panels using that door thickness. The guide is classified as sliding door hardware within builders hardware, positioning it as a core component in a by-passing door system rather than decorative trim. Extruded aluminum construction gives the profile a consistent shape along its 12 foot length, which supports smooth door travel when used with the specified tracks. The mill aluminum finish reflects the natural aluminum appearance, which works in utility, shop, or concealed installations where a straightforward metal look is acceptable. The guide is designed for use with EPCO 334-M, 810, 801, or 802 track, so it fits directly into assemblies built around those tracks. Holes at 6 inch intervals provide a regular mounting pattern along the length, helping installers space fasteners consistently across the span.

Sliding Door Upper Guide Details That Matter

• For 3/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, this guide supports pairs of sliding panels that travel past one another in typical closet or partition layouts where two doors share overlapping openings.
• Extruded aluminum construction creates a uniform channel profile along the entire 12 foot run, which helps maintain steady alignment for the door edges over the full opening width.
• The 12 FT long length lets installers span wide openings or cut sections to shorter runs, so one piece can serve multiple smaller door widths on a project.
• Holes at 6 inch intervals provide frequent fastening points along the guide, giving consistent support where structural conditions allow mounting across the header.
• The serrated face is designed to provide an attractive finish fascia, so the visible edge presents a textured, finished look when installed at eye level or above.
• Mill aluminum finish presents the natural metal surface, fitting well in utilitarian, workshop, or concealed track applications that use matching aluminum sliding door hardware.

Upper Guide Mounting And Track Coordination

This EPCO sliding door upper guide is designed specifically for 3/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, aligning door thickness with the guide opening for stable movement. The guide is 12 FT long, giving installers flexibility to cover wider spans or trim to shorter lengths according to header size and opening requirements. Holes at 6 inch intervals along the guide provide a predictable layout for mounting into a suitable support, which helps distribute load and control deflection where structure allows fastening at those points. The guide is intended for use with EPCO 334-M, 810, 801, or 802 track, so the upper guide and track work together as a matched set for by-passing doors built around those specific track models.

Using This EPCO Upper Guide In Sliding Systems

Where This Extruded Aluminum Guide Fits Best

This EPCO 3334-M aluminum upper guide is intended for 3/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, placing it directly in sliding closet, cabinet, or room divider assemblies that use that door thickness. As part of builders hardware within sliding door hardware, it is suited to projects where structural framing supports a continuous 12 foot guide over the opening. The guide is engineered for use with EPCO 334-M, 810, 801, or 802 track, so it fits into systems that already specify those tracks or new builds selecting those track numbers. Extruded aluminum construction and mill aluminum finish align this guide with projects that value straightforward metal components and a clean, functional fascia edge at the top of the doors.

Details That Support Alignment And Repeatable Results

The extruded aluminum profile keeps the upper guide shape consistent from end to end, which supports repeatable door tracking when multiple panels slide along the same span. Holes at 6 inch intervals simplify layout because fastener positions are already indexed along the guide, allowing installers to match those positions to framing or other suitable support. The serrated face is designed to provide an attractive finish fascia, so once mounted, the visible edge offers a controlled, textured line that can align visually with surrounding trim. Coordination with EPCO 334-M, 810, 801, or 802 track means the guide is part of a defined hardware set, which helps keep track geometry and clearances aligned within that family of components. The 12 FT long length supports long openings or multiple shorter runs cut from one piece, aiding repeatable setups across similar door bays on a project.
