In this blog we will be answering some of our most frequently asked questions, all to do with our sliding systems and related products.
Can I Cut my Track?
Almost all our track systems are designed to be cut down to the right length for your door. Some kits do have minimum and maximum door sizes, so the track can only be cut down to anything within the given range, for example the Excellence 60 Soft close. The one system we stock where the track cannot be cut down at all is the iMpero slide kit, however the rest of our tracks can all be cut down to fit your door.
Are your Kits Fire Rated?
At Doorstuff, we only sell one completely fire rated kit, the iMpero FD30 pocket door kit. This kit is available for both single and double doors, and comes with the track, runners, brackets, stops, the intumescent fire seals, pre-cut and formed plasterboard sections and a cassette.
Do all Kits Come with Pelmets?
When purchasing sliding door gear from us, it is important to note that our systems do not come with pelmets. At Doorstuff we sell two sliding systems that come complete with timber jambs, the iMpero slide and the iMpero original, for other systems we offer pelmets as optional extras, however they do not come in the basic kit comprises and can be added on.
Do your Kits Come with Floor Guides?
When buying a kit from us, all our kits come with some form of floor guide, depending on the system you purchase. Floor guides are designed so that the door doesn’t rattle or flap about at the bottom, as they essentially fix the door in place for a smoother slide. We do have a YouTube video on floor guides here, or we have a separate blog on floor guides and how they work here.
Do Kits have Size Restrictions?
Although all our kits have weight restrictions, the only dimensional restriction for most of our kits is the door thickness. Some kits do have restrictions for the width and height of the doors, mainly our pocket door kits, this is to ensure that the door fits in to the pocket. The restrictions for each of our kits are listed in the product descriptions on our website, so make sure to look at these before purchasing to avoid getting the wrong door sizes.
