Tracks and rollers
Top-hung tracks keep the floor clear and are easier to clean, and bottom tracks suit heavier leaves. Use strong aluminium or steel tracks with bearing rollers, since plastic rollers wear quickly. Install a stop to avoid the door leaving the track.
Sizes and fitting
A sliding door needs wall space beside the opening equal to the leaf width. Measure the opening and the clear wall, fix the track level and hang the door plumb. For partitions, make sure the header can carry the load. Fitting should be done by a trained carpenter or fixer, and the frame and wall checked for level before the door is hung.
Sound and privacy
Sliding doors leak sound and light at the edges more than hinged doors. Use brush seals and an overlap to reduce it. They suit light separation, not full privacy for bedrooms.
Care
Keep tracks clean of dust and grit, lubricate rollers lightly and avoid forcing the door. Replace worn rollers early.

Before you decide
Check wall space, choose a strong track and plan the fitting. A PVC sliding door saves swing space in tight rooms. Ask for spare rollers and keep the track clean. Measure the clear wall beside the opening, confirm the header can carry the track and check the door height against the ceiling so the top track sits level. Check the wall beside the opening is clear of sockets and switches before you order, because a track cannot cross them, and confirm the leaf width with the supplier in millimetres. Measure the clear wall beside the opening, confirm the header can carry the track and check the door height against the ceiling so the top track sits level.
