FORMERLY MCKINNEY DOOR SOLUTIONS & AMERICAN DOOR PRODUCTS - NOW UNITED AS AMERICAN DOORS.
A door that operates by sliding horizontally along a track rather than swinging on hinges. Sliding doors save floor space and are ideal for areas where swing clearance is limited or where wide openings are needed.
Commercial sliding door systems include bypass (doors slide past each other), pocket (door slides into wall cavity), surface-mounted barn-style, and automatic sliding entrance systems. Track-mounted doors use top-hung hardware (door suspended from overhead track) or bottom-rolling systems (floor track guides the door). Weight capacities range from 100 lbs to 500+ lbs depending on hardware.
Automatic sliding doors for storefronts comply with ANSI/BHMA A156.10 standards and require safety sensors, breakaway capability for emergency egress, and AAADM-certified installation. Fire-rated sliding doors use fusible links or electromagnetic releases to close automatically during fire events. Related terms: pocket door, barn door, telescopic door. Browse sliding door systems.
