Types of hardware for sliding doors

Sliding and Barn Door Hardware

It's been a trend for a long time. Sliding doors are increasingly in demand as an optimal solution for making the most of space in homes . A sliding door is always embedded in the wall or flush with it and the opening, unlike a "standard" door, will not require a large maneuvering space. That is why we present a wide range of hardware to decorate and install your sliding doors and thus be able to make better use of the space in your home. We divide the hardware for sliding doors into 3 families so that their operation can be clearly understood.

1. Handles and push hardware

This hardware is everything that will help us "grasp" the door so that we can then open and close it. These families are made up of the handles, the uñeros and the parrot-beaked doorknobs . Its main function is to help grip the door (in order to later slide it) and block its opening.

2. Slide hardware

The hardware for sliding sliding doors refers to the guide that is installed on or within the wall on which the wooden door will move horizontally . The hardware that makes up this family are guides and kits for both wooden doors and glass doors that will provide a bar and some bearings that will join the door to the bar to later slide the door helped by the handle or the handle.

3. Sliding guides and casings

Finally, the casenet is a structure that is used exclusively when the sliding door is embedded in the wall . It is the size of a door and acts as a protective cover for the door when it is opened and remains stored in the plasterboard. It is one of the most used hardware but its installation is not easy since it requires a small prior masonry work.

In general, the installation of any sliding door hardware is simple, but we recommend that you first inform yourself about the possibilities and measurements to be able to choose the product you need. To do this, the most important thing to take into account will always be the product measurements and its quality.
