1/4" x 48" Sliding Track, Black Finish
Description
1/4 x 48 Sliding Track For Bypassing Doors
1/4 x 48 sliding track from EPCO provides a guided path for by-passing wood and/or glass doors that are 1/4 inch thick, so small or light doors move in a controlled line instead of wandering or binding. The 4 ft length spans typical small openings in cabinets or similar projects, letting you run paired doors across the full width without splicing shorter sections. The track is designed for by-passing door layouts, which allows one 1/4 inch door to slide cleanly past another to open access without swinging space. This sliding door hardware is part of EPCO Builders Hardware, so it suits shop-built or on-site woodworking where consistent door action matters. The track is identified as Plastic Track #214, giving an exact part reference when matching to existing EPCO sliding assemblies or planning repeat jobs.
Key Sliding Track Details That Support Use
- The track is made from high impact, extruded polystyrene, which provides a rigid, shaped channel so the sliding path stays uniform over the 4 ft run, supporting smoother door travel on small or light panels.
- The black finish gives the track a dark appearance, helping it visually recede behind 1/4 inch wood and/or glass doors so the hardware stays less noticeable in completed cabinets or wall units.
- This EPCO track is classified as sliding door hardware in the builders hardware category, aligning it with common shop workflows where by-passing door systems are integrated into cabinets, closets, or light-duty sliding panels.
- The track is intended for small and/or light doors, pairing its material and profile to applications where reduced panel weight means the high impact polystyrene can provide dependable guidance without heavy structural framing.
- The product is sold as each, which fits projects where only a single 4 ft run of track is needed or where multiple independent openings are laid out with one track per opening.
Sliding Track Fit And Door Guidance Details
This EPCO sliding door hardware is specified for 1/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so its channel size and profile relate directly to that door thickness for proper engagement. The 4 ft long Plastic Track #214 gives a continuous running surface, helping small and/or light doors stay aligned as they slide across the full opening. High impact, extruded polystyrene construction keeps the track profile consistent along its length, which supports repeatable fit when installing multiple door sets using the same track style.
How This EPCO Sliding Track Works In Practice
Sliding Track For 1/4 Wood Or Glass Doors
This EPCO 1/4 x 48 sliding track is designed for 1/4 inch by-passing wood and/or glass doors, so its geometry is matched to that door thickness for predictable running clearance. By specifying 1/4 inch doors, the track supports light construction, making it suited to small and/or light doors rather than heavier panels. The track functions within a by-passing configuration, allowing one door to move in front of another door on the same opening, which is useful when a swing door would conflict with nearby fixtures or limited floor space. Because it is categorized as sliding door hardware under builders hardware, it aligns with cabinetmakers and installers who integrate sliding access into casework or shallow openings where 1/4 inch panels are common.
Track Components Supporting Smooth Door Motion
The EPCO Plastic Track #214 is paired with a Plastic Upper Guide #2214, so the door system has a defined track and a coordinated upper guide to stabilize the 1/4 inch by-passing doors during travel. High impact, extruded polystyrene gives the track body a resilient, molded profile, supporting repeated sliding of small and/or light doors without the channel deforming in typical use. The 4 ft long track length allows doors to move across a practical cabinet or opening span in a single run, avoiding interruptions in guidance over that distance. As part of EPCO sliding door hardware, the track and guide combination creates a matched path and upper control point so doors remain guided both at the track and at the top engagement.
