The installation requirements of the lifting rail are higher than those of the ground rail. Of course, there is no such problem with the lifting rail, and it is visually better to leave no track on the ground. The installation of the ground rail is relatively simple. The ground rail can be installed by inlaying the supporting sliding door inside. The use methods of the ground rail and the lifting rail are similar, but they are slightly different in terms of installation and accessories. The requirements of the lifting rail for installation and accessories are higher than those of the ground rail. The gravity of the whole door of the ceiling is supported by the upper clamp slot, so the pressure on the wall is large. Under the influence of natural gravity, the door is easy to fall.
 

In terms of use, the ground rail is easy to fall into impurities, which leads to unsmooth pushing and pulling. The installation of the ground rail sliding door is not as difficult as that of the lifting rail. In case of damage, the maintenance is also simple.

 How to install sliding door?
1. Installation of upper slide
When installing the upper slide, it must be fixed with the door beam or canopy beam according to the requirements of the width and opening direction of the door opening. Generally, the center of the width of the door opening is taken as the benchmark. When fixing, the following points should be noted: the left and right elevation of the connection between the slide and the canopy beam or door beam is the same, and the size of the slide relative to the center of the door opening is the same. The center line of the slide is consistent with the outer dimension of the color plate outer wall or brick wall, and its dimension is half of the thickness of the door leaf plus a 20mm gap. If it is a color plate outer wall, an additional 20mm edge wrapping width is required.
2. Door leaf installation
The door leaf and pulley system are processed by the company in the workshop. After the installation of the upper slide is completed, the pulleys shall be put into the slide groove in pairs, and then the door leaf shall be vertically transported to the lower part by manual or other lifting tools, and the screw welded on the door leaf shall be sleeved into the bolt hole on the pulley and temporarily fastened with double nuts. Similarly, hang the other door first.
3. Door leaf adjustment
After the door leaves have been hung, push the two door leaves to the center of the door opening and stick them tightly. Adjust the flat steel under the door leaf to 0 ~ 10mm on the upper surface of the floor according to the requirements of the outdoor floor elevation. At the same time, adjust the gap at the junction of the two door leaves to the minimum and the side is perpendicular to the ground. The elevation is adjusted by tightening the upper nut. After all the door leaves are adjusted, fix the stopper pin on the pulley with a cotter pin.
4. Door stopper
After all the door leaves are installed and adjusted, all the door leaves shall be closed and pushed. According to their positions, the bottom or inside of the upper slide shall be welded with angle steel upper limiter 10mm away from the pulley edge to limit the opening area of the door leaf within its effective range. The contact between angle steel and pulley shall be provided with hard rubber pad of no less than 20mm as buffer.
5. Installation of guide cake and door stopper
The installation of guide cake and door stopper shall be carried out in coordination with the civil works. The key point is that the center line of guide cake can be positioned according to the actual position of flat steel under the door leaf. The exposed distance of guide cake to the ground is 10 ~ 15mm and the spacing is 500mm. When positioning the lower stopper, push the door leaf to a position 10-20mm away from the outside and bury it in the concrete or fix it with expansion bolts after concrete construction.
6. Installation of door hardware fittings
The commonly used hardware fittings for sliding doors, such as door handle and lock catch, can be installed after the installation and adjustment of the door are completed and correct. They should be installed according to the installation requirements of the hardware fittings used in each project.
