Can I use any sliding door handle with any sliding door?

Not necessarily - if you’re able to install your sliding door handle into your chosen sliding door easily with just a few screws, you’ll likely be able to use this handle on a wide variety of wooden doors. However, if you’re working with glass sliding doors, or sliding doors made from other materials, be sure the sliding door handle you’ve chosen is compatible with the door you have. If you’d like some more advice, feel free to reach out to the Runners team - we’d be happy to help.

What are sliding door handles made of?

Sliding door handles need to be able to withstand the effects of regular opening and closing without distorting or degrading too much over time. That’s why many sliding door handles and mechanisms are made from steel - or a similarly robust metal. Not only is steel incredibly sturdy and resilient, but it will offer years of reliable service in many applications, including door handles. Browse our selection of sliding door handles in various styles and finishes to find your ideal choice.

Do I really need a sliding door handle?

If the sliding door you’re working with already has a recessed handle built-in, you may not need a sliding door handle. However, if you’re working with something closer to a blank slate that you’re able to customise yourself - or maybe even if you’ve crafted your own sliding door from scratch - choosing a sliding door handle lets you add an extra element of customisation to your project for improved functionality or visual flair. Speak to a member of the Runners team for some personalised recommendations.

Can I use any sliding door with the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit?

While the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit is usable with a wide range of standard-size pocket doors, it is not suitable for all doors. In the product listing, you will see a dropdown menu featuring numerous door-size dimensions. Choose the dimensions that fit the door you will be using to ensure the installation process will run smoothly. Alternatively, get in touch with Runners if you have any questions.

Is the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit durable?

Very. This single pocket door kit has been put through rigorous testing before being made available for purchase, including testing the rollers to up to 100,000 cycles. This means, in all likelihood, users of this kit will enjoy countless hours of uninterrupted use once it’s installed, making it excellent value for money and a great product to have in your arsenal if you’ll be offering pocket door installation for your clients.

Can I use the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit to install sliding glass doors?

It is possible to install single-pocket glass doors with the Absolute Evo kit, but not as it comes. You can pair the kit with a glass conversion kit from Runners to allow for the installation and smooth rolling of glass pocket doors. For more information on the glass conversion kit, or to check if any of our other products meet your requirements more closely, speak to a Runners expert today.

Can I use doors heavier than 120kg with the Absolute Evo Pocket Door Kit?

No. The Absolute Evo pocket door kit cannot be used with pocket doors heavier than 120kg. The components in the kit are designed to be used with doors lighter than this. Using doors heavier than 120kg could put the structural integrity of the door and the system at risk. If you need a pocket door system that can handle heavier doors, feel free to explore the rest of the Runners range to find something more suitable.
