Sliding door fittings are specialized hardware systems, including tracks, rollers, guides, handles, and locks, that enable doors to glide smoothly and securely, offering space-saving convenience for wardrobes, partitions, or large glass doors, with options for soft-close, heavy loads, and different designs like tilt-and-slide or folding systems. 

Key Components

• Tracks (Channels/Profiles): Top or bottom rails that guide the door's movement.
• Rollers/Runners/Skates: Mounted on the door leaf, these run along the track for smooth motion.
• Guides/Stops: Keep the door aligned and prevent it from moving too far.
• Handles/Pulls: For opening and closing the door.
• Locks & Keepers: Secure the door in the closed position.
• Dampers (Soft-Close): Gently slow the door down before it closes, preventing slamming. 

Types of Systems

• Parallel Slide: Door moves parallel to a fixed panel, common for windows.
• Tilt & Slide: Allows tilting for ventilation and sliding for opening.
• Folding (Bi-fold): Doors fold onto each other, creating wide openings.
• Top-Running: Rollers are at the top, ideal for heavy doors or minimal floor track.
• Bottom-Running: Rollers are at the bottom, often used for furniture doors. 

Functions & Benefits

• Space Saving: Door slides along the wall or into a pocket, unlike swinging doors.
• Smooth Operation: High-quality systems ensure quiet, gentle movement.
• Load Capacity: Systems are designed to support varying door weights (e.g., 10kg to 140kg+).
• Security & Sealing: Provide locking and can seal against drafts and smells.
