Sliding and barn door hardware

It has been a trend for some time now. Sliding doors are increasingly in demand as an optimal solution for space utilization in homes. A sliding door is always recessed into or flush with the wall, and the opening, unlike a "standard" door, does not require a large maneuvering space. That is why we offer a wide range of hardware to decorate and install your sliding doors, helping you make better use of space in your home. We divide sliding door hardware into 3 families so that its operation can be clearly understood.

1. Handles and hardware for pushing

This hardware is anything that helps us "grip" the door in order to open and close it. These families consist of pull handles, recessed pulls, and hook locks. Their main function is to help grip the door (to subsequently slide it) and lock it shut.

2. Sliding hardware

Sliding door hardware refers to the track installed on or inside the wall, along which the wooden door will move horizontally. The hardware that makes up this family includes tracks and kits for both wooden and glass doors, which provide a rail and bearings that attach the door to the rail, allowing it to be slid with the help of the pull handle or recessed pull.

3. Sliding tracks and pocket door frames

Finally, a pocket door frame is a structure used exclusively when the sliding door is recessed into the wall. It is the size of a door and acts as a protective housing for the door when it is opened and stored inside the drywall. It is one of the most widely used types of hardware, but its installation is not simple, as it requires minor preliminary masonry work.

In general, the installation of any sliding door hardware is simple, but we recommend checking the possibilities and measurements beforehand to ensure you choose the right product. For this, the most important factors to keep in mind will always be the product measurements and its quality.
