5' Aluminum Extruded By-passing Double Track 7002

5' Aluminum Extruded Track For Bypassing Doors

5' aluminum extruded by-passing double track gives you a matched pair of carrier channels for sliding door projects where two panels need to pass each other smoothly. The extruded aluminum construction creates a consistent track profile, which helps doors roll in a straight path without binding from irregularities. As a 5 foot length, it suits many cabinet, closet, or partition openings that fall within that span, reducing field cuts on shorter runs. Being a double track, it provides two parallel paths for by-passing operation, so each door panel has its own channel and does not fight for the same running surface. This track is part of the sliding door hardware class, so it is designed to serve as the main guiding element in a sliding system. When sourced from Wurth Baer Supply, it aligns with professional woodworking and cabinet hardware workflows.

Key Sliding Door Track Details For Projects

• The double aluminum carrier tracks design gives each sliding door its own running channel, which helps maintain smoother movement when doors pass and reduces interference between panels.
• Aluminum construction keeps the track rigid while remaining workable, which supports clean alignment along mounting surfaces on cabinets or wall openings.
• Holes at every 11 inch along the track provide regular fastening points, which supports even load distribution and helps limit sagging between supports.
• The 5 foot length covers many standard opening widths, which often reduces cutting and layout time on mid-size sliding door installations.
• As sliding door hardware from Hettich America Corporation, the track integrates into professional builders hardware lines familiar to many shop and jobsite users.

Practical Mounting Details For The Double Track

The double aluminum carrier tracks with holes at every 11 inch simplify mounting because the pre-spaced holes guide where to place fasteners along the run. This regular pattern helps installers avoid guesswork over spacing and supports a more uniform attachment to a cabinet top, header, or other supporting surface. Recommended fasteners are #8 x 1-1/4 inch panhead screws, so the track hole sizing and design tie directly to that screw diameter and head style for a stable mechanical connection. Using the identified screw size helps the track sit firmly against the mounting surface, which in turn supports smoother sliding of the door carriers. With the track classified as sliding door hardware in the builders hardware category, it is intended to function as a primary structural guide rail in a sliding assembly.

Using This Hettich Double Track In Real Builds

Where This Double Track Fits Sliding Door Work

This double aluminum carrier track 7002 works in sliding door hardware applications where two panels need to by-pass on parallel paths. At 5 feet long, it serves openings that require a continuous guide over that span, fitting many cabinet tops and closet headers without splicing multiple shorter tracks. The aluminum extruded profile gives a consistent channel shape along the full length, so door carriers experience the same running geometry from end to end. Because the track has holes at every 11 inch, it suits mounting to wood or similar substrates where regularly spaced screw positions are practical across the span. As part of Hettich America Corporation sliding door hardware, it fits into professional shop builds that rely on established builders hardware brands.

Why Track Design Details Support Repeatable Results

The double-track configuration lets each door panel ride in its own aluminum channel, which supports predictable by-passing motion and can reduce rubbing between doors compared to sharing a single path. Holes at every 11 inch help installers keep a repeatable fastening pattern, so each job can be laid out in a similar way and referenced from the same spacing. This regular screw layout helps the track stay true to the mounting surface, which in turn helps carriers roll consistently without dips or humps that could occur between widely spaced fasteners. The recommendation for #8 x 1-1/4 inch panhead screws means the track is sized around that fastener style, so once the proper screw is selected the head seats appropriately in the holes and supports solid clamping. With a 5 foot aluminum extrusion, the track can be cut to shorter lengths when needed, allowing one piece to serve multiple smaller openings while preserving the original channel shape at each cut end.
