Sliding Glass Door Tracks-Dual, Double Tracks Hardware Sets for By-Passing Doors, 3'

Sliding Glass Door Tracks Dual For Two Doors

Sliding glass door tracks dual from Knape and Vogt form a steel hardware set engineered for two by-passing glass doors, so cabinet or case openings can be closed without swinging door clearance. The set is identified as Manufacturer Part P992 ZC 36, which aligns this assembly with the Knape and Vogt sliding door hardware system for repeatable selection on future projects. The glass assembly is specified as 3 foot steel, giving a defined length for planning smaller openings within that span. All hardware is made of steel with a zinc finish, providing a consistent metal track and component interface where glass edges meet guiding parts. Zinc plated steel with full ball bearing carriers make this unit ideal for larger 1/4 inch two glass door installations, so heavier or wider glass within that thickness range can still slide smoothly on the track.

Key Sliding Track Details That Support Workflow

• High quality ball bearing movement in the carriers supports smoother sliding action, which reduces effort during frequent door operation.
• The hardware set is designed for two glass doors, creating a by-passing layout that helps when there is limited space in front of the opening.
• Zinc plated steel components form the upper channel, shoes, carriers, and lower track, giving a uniform metal system where each piece interfaces predictably.
• The assembly is described as ideal for larger 1/4 inch two glass door installations, which helps match door thickness and general size to the track design.
• Glass should be cut 1-1/4 inch shorter than the height of the opening, providing a clear dimension target so doors clear the track system during operation.

Track Layout And Glass Cutting Considerations

The glass assembly is set up with a KV993 upper guide and a KV999 lower track, so the top and bottom of each glass door follow a defined path. Two KV995 shoes work with two KV997 carriers, forming the interface between the 1/4 inch glass and the steel tracks. Glass should be cut 1-1/4 inch shorter than the height of the opening, which creates working clearance for the doors inside the channel and track. Glass is also easily cut to fit any width opening within the 3 foot length, letting installers size each door to suit the cabinet or case design while staying inside the hardware span.

Using This 3 Foot Glass Assembly In Real Projects

Where This Sliding Glass Door Track Set Fits Best

This sliding glass door tracks dual set is part of the builders hardware and sliding door hardware class, so it aligns with applications where two glass doors need to pass in front of each other along a straight opening. The 3 foot steel designation suits openings up to that length, allowing doors to be cut for narrower spans while keeping the hardware as a single continuous run. KV does not recommend butt-joints and/or openings longer than 12 feet, so this 3 foot unit fits comfortably inside that overall run length when several openings exist along a case line. The guidance that the height to length ratio for glass doors should not exceed 2:1 helps keep door proportions within a range that works well with the ball bearing carriers and track geometry.

Details That Support Smooth Sliding And Alignment

The combination of KV993 upper guide and KV999 lower track defines a consistent top and bottom path, which helps the ball bearing carriers run straight under load. Zinc plated steel with full ball bearing carriers make this unit ideal for larger 1/4 inch two glass door installations, giving doors a guided roll rather than simple sliding friction at the track surface. The two KV995 shoes and two KV997 carriers form a stable connection between each glass edge and the steel hardware, which supports alignment over the full height of the door. KV does not recommend butt-joints and/or openings longer than 12 feet, which keeps each run within a length that suits the bearing movement and track straightness. The guideline that the height to length ratio for glass doors should not exceed 2:1 ties door proportions to more predictable sliding behavior in the carriers.

Selecting This 3 Foot Glass Track Set

The Knape and Vogt sliding glass door tracks dual hardware set brings steel construction, zinc finish, and full ball bearing carriers together for two 1/4 inch glass doors along a 3 foot run. With defined components such as KV993 upper guide, KV995 shoes, KV997 carriers, and KV999 lower track, it offers a coordinated system for by-passing glass doors. The specified glass cutback of 1-1/4 inch from opening height and the height to length ratio guidance help align door sizing with the track design, supporting predictable sliding in cabinets and similar installations.
