How to Choose the Main Hardware for the Sliding Doors and Windows

As far as we know, the sliding door is characterized by the following features, such as easy installation, reuse, fire-proofness, environmental protection and so on. To some degree, among so many features the convenience for people’s work is the most obvious. For example, if you want to have a meeting with others in a private room but the room in your office is limited, it is a good solution to install a sliding door. When you hold the meeting, you can fold the sliding door together. After the meeting is over, you can separate the sliding door. To install a sliding door is not an easy job. It has something to do with the hardware fittings of this door. In general, the hardware fittings mainly include pulley, sliding rack, connecting piece, deadbolt, handle and so on. When choosing these fittings, people should keep an eye on the pulley and sliding rack. In the following passage how to choose the satisfied pulley and rail will be introduced in detail.

The pulley is a very important fitting part. Its function for the sliding door can not be overlooked. To a great extent, whether the sliding door or window is good in use or not has a direct relationship with the quality of the pulley. As for the pulley’s quality, it depends on the quality of its outer wheel and bearing. The outer wheel is often made of two materials, namely the high-tense and wear-resistant nylon or brass. Compared with the nylon-made pulley, the one made of brass is relatively stronger. But there is a weak point. When people pull the brass-made pulley, there are some noises. The nylon pulley has no noise when it is pulled by people, but it is not as wear-resistant as the brass one. The bearing should have a multi-layer complex structure. Meanwhile, there are also a lot of differences for its material. The good bearing is made of the imported stainless steel. As a result, the installation of the pulley is quite tight and there is no noise. Some more high-end pulleys also have the function of height regulation, which helps the door and rail track connect more closely. The assorted sliding track is also of great important for the sliding doors and windows. In general, the sliding track is made of two materials, namely aluminum alloy and cold-rolled steel. The steel track is relatively durable. As for the aluminum alloy track, the noise is lower. What’s more, the thickness of the track should be concerned. If the door is small and light, it is better to select the small and exquisite track. Instead, if the door is heavy, in order to ensure the security and durability the thickening-type track is a good choice. The good sliding track does not depend on its material but depend on the smoothness of the interface between its track and pulley.
