995 144" Shoe for 1/4" Glass Door defines this Knape and Vogt component as a long steel shoe sized for 1/4" glass doors, so you get a clear match between the hardware and your glass thickness. The shoe height is 7/16"H, which sets a predictable vertical position for the glass edge and helps maintain a consistent reveal along the length of the door. A bottom curved profile is designed for a free rolling position on ball bearings, so the sliding door rides on the bearing line rather than dragging on a flat surface. All hardware is made of steel with a zinc finish, providing a sturdy metal body with a protective coating suited to typical shop and jobsite environments. As part of the Knape and Vogt sliding door hardware line, it fits naturally into projects that rely on guided ball-bearing motion for glass door panels.
This 7/16"H shoe for 1/4" glass works as the lower interface between the glass door edge and the sliding hardware assembly, so its dimensions directly affect how the panel sits relative to the track. The bottom curved design is meant to position the shoe over ball bearings, so the door loads onto rolling elements instead of a flat channel. Because all hardware is made of steel with a zinc finish, the body of the shoe provides a rigid contact surface where the glass engages the hardware while the coating supports normal indoor service conditions. The 1/4" glass designation narrows the intended panel thickness, which helps maintain clamping fit along the length and supports straightforward layout when pairing the shoe with appropriately sized glass.
This shoe is specified as shoe for 1/4" glass, so it is intended to grip and support glass panels with that thickness along the bottom edge of a sliding assembly. The 7/16"H measurement defines how much vertical build the shoe adds beneath the glass, which influences total door height and the relationship to the sliding track or bearing line. Because it belongs to the sliding door hardware category, it functions as part of a guided motion system where the glass panel is supported by hardware rather than resting directly on a sill. The steel construction gives the shoe a rigid channel to carry the weight of the glass panel along its entire 144" length, distributing load over the supporting ball bearings described in the product details.
The bottom curved for free rolling position on ball bearings wording describes a profile that centers the shoe over the bearing path, which promotes smoother rolling as the door moves. This shaping helps the ball bearings contact the shoe at a predictable line, which supports consistent feel when multiple doors in a bank share the same hardware. With all hardware made of steel with a zinc finish, the contact surface presented to the bearings stays uniform along the length of the 995 ZC 144 part, aiding even wear patterns during repeated cycles. The defined 7/16"H shoe dimension and 1/4" glass specification together provide fixed geometry, which simplifies setting up matching doors, aligning reveals, and repeating the same sliding performance across several openings in a project.
This shoe is described as shoe for 1/4" glass, so its internal channel is sized to work with 1/4" thick glass door panels in sliding door hardware applications.
The 7/16"H shoe height establishes how far the glass edge sits above the bearing line, which influences total door height, reveals, and alignment relative to the sliding track.
The bottom curved description means the underside of the shoe is shaped to rest on ball bearings, allowing the sliding glass door to roll on the bearings instead of dragging on a flat surface.
All hardware is made of steel with a zinc finish, giving the shoe a strong metal body and coated surface suited to typical indoor environments and regular handling during installation and use.
The product sits in the Knape and Vogt sliding door hardware class, so it functions as a lower support component in glass door assemblies that ride on ball-bearing mechanisms.
The 995 ZC 144 reference identifies this specific Knape and Vogt shoe as a 144" long steel part with a zinc finish, tying the component to its sliding door hardware specification.
This Knape and Vogt 995 ZC 144 shoe for 1/4" glass combines a 7/16"H profile, a bottom curved for free rolling position on ball bearings, and steel with a zinc finish to support practical sliding glass door builds. The defined dimensions and material give installers predictable geometry and a robust channel for 1/4" glass along the full length of the run. For projects that call for ball-bearing-based sliding door hardware in cabinet or similar applications, this shoe lines up the glass panel with the bearing path to support smooth, consistent motion.
