Sliding Mirror Wardrobe Doors: Top-Hung and Bottom-Rolling Tracks, Aluminium Frames, Rollers, Door Widths, Soft-Close, Alignment, Noise Fixes and Indicative Rates in Pakistan
Sliding mirror wardrobe doors glide on tracks across the front of a wardrobe, saving floor space and adding a mirror, and the quality of the track and rollers decides whether they glide quietly for years or jam. This page covers top-hung and bottom-rolling tracks, aluminium frames, rollers, door widths, soft-close, alignment, noise fixes and indicative rates in Pakistan. For the full wardrobes see mirrored wardrobes, for glass see glass wardrobe doors and for inside mirrors see mirrors inside wardrobes.
Track types
- Bottom-rolling. Doors roll on a floor-level track, simple and common, but the track collects dust.
- Top-hung. Doors hang from a top track with a light guide at the bottom, easier to keep clean and better for heavy doors.
- Soft-close systems. Dampers slow the door at the end of travel.

Door widths and heights
Typical door width is 600 to 1,000 millimetres, and height up to 2,400 millimetres or more. Wider doors are heavier and need stronger tracks. Overlap of 20 to 30 millimetres between doors prevents gaps. A two-door wardrobe opens half its width at a time.
Frames and rollers
Aluminium frames resist rust and are light. Check wall thickness and corner joints. Rollers should be sealed ball bearing types with metal or good nylon wheels. Cheap plastic wheels wear out and squeak.
Alignment and noise fixes
- Door jams. Clean the track and check that the floor and frame are level.
- Door drops. Adjust the roller height screws.
- Gap or rub. Re-align overlap.
- Squeak. Clean and lightly lubricate rollers.
Safety
Use toughened or laminated mirror in frames, and film on the back. Fit stops so doors cannot jump off the track. Keep children's fingers away from the closing gap.
What to check before ordering
- Track and roller quality. Sealed, metal.
- Load rating. For the door weight.
- Soft-close. Damper type.
- Warranty. Written, for hardware.
Care
Vacuum or brush the track monthly, wipe the mirror with glass cleaner and lubricate rollers lightly twice a year. Tighten loose screws. If the doors slide stiffly, clean first before assuming the hardware has failed.
Before you decide
Slide a door in the shop, listen for noise and lift it to check the roller seating. Ask for the load rating and the warranty of the track. Good sliding doors are a joy to use, and cheap ones soon become an annoyance.
