Aluminium sliding door hardware includes rollers, tracks, handles, locks, guides and compatible accessories. These components must suit the selected door frame, panel configuration, glass weight and opening requirements.
Main Sliding Door Hardware Components
- Rollers: support the moving panel and travel along the compatible track.
- Tracks and guides: control the movement and alignment of each panel.
- Handles: provide grip and must suit the lock and panel stile.
- Locks and cylinders: secure the active panel using hardware designed for the system.
- Stops and buffers: limit travel and protect the frame or adjacent panels.
- Flyscreens and screen rollers: operate on compatible tracks where included.
Hardware Must Suit the Panel
Panel height, width, glass makeup and total weight affect compatible rollers, locks and handles. A large double-glazed panel may require different hardware from a smaller single-glazed door. The complete configuration should be reviewed before manufacturing.
Sliding and Stacker Door Configurations
A basic sliding door and a multi-panel stacker door do not necessarily use the same hardware schedule. Moving and fixed panels, stacking direction, active panel and flyscreens must be shown on the approved drawings.

Sliding Door Hardware Maintenance
- Keep tracks and sill drainage paths clear of dirt and debris.
- Clean handles, locks and accessible components with suitable mild products.
- Check for loose fasteners, worn rollers or unusual panel movement.
- Avoid forcing the handle when the door is not aligned with the lock.
- Use compatible adjustment and lubrication methods for the selected system.
Identifying Replacement Rollers or Locks
Replacement hardware should be identified from the original aluminium system, component markings, photographs and measurements. Similar-looking rollers and locks may have different fixing points or capacities. Where the original part is discontinued, the panel, track and frame may require assessment.
