What is a trackless sliding door? The sliding door itself is pushed and pulled by the track. If there is no track, it can not be used normally. The trackless sliding door is not completely trackless in the sense that there is no track, and there is no fish in the shredded fish. Just on the ground, there is no need to install rails, and the real rails are all on the ground. Therefore, the door is completely suspended above, so there is still no essential change in principle. It still moves smoothly on the track by its own pulley.
The unique structure of trackless sliding door also has certain particularity during installation. The most important point is to ensure the strength of the top track. Because like ordinary sliding doors, all the weight is pressed on the ground rail, which is supported by the ground, so there will be no deformation. However, when the trackless structure is made, the weight of the door is all on the hanging rail, especially when the door is wide, it is easier to bend the rail, so it needs to be made of thicker profiles, and at the same time, it also ensures the strength of installation. If the ordinary process is still installed, problems may occur in a short time.
However, the trackless sliding door does have a very obvious advantage, that is, it will not cause any damage to the ground. Because the area of our rooms is also limited, we all hope to be more spacious and transparent when decorating. With such an additional track, it will be visually separated and inconvenient to walk. In particular, families with elderly people or children may stumble over this threshold. In addition, long-term trampling will also cause dirt to accumulate in the ground rail, which is extremely inconvenient to clean. Therefore, as long as the installation quality can be ensured, it is a good idea to choose this kind of hanging cabinet structure.
How to choose trackless glass sliding door?
Check the tightness
When we buy glass sliding doors, we'd better not choose sliding doors with external bottom wheels, because this kind of glass sliding door will leave a large gap between doors, and its sealing performance does not meet the national standard.
Listen to the sound
A good glass sliding door is very smooth and noiseless when sliding. When we choose a glass sliding door, we can conduct a push-pull test on the sliding door sample to see whether the sliding door is smooth and noiseless.
Select safety glass
The glass of the glass sliding door needs to occupy the majority, and the quality of the glass directly determines the price of the door. It is better to choose tempered glass, which will not hurt people if broken, with a high safety factor and a transparent and bright appearance.
Height of track
Whether the track design is reasonable is not only related to our comfort, but also related to the service life of the glass sliding door. When we choose the glass sliding door, we can judge which track is the most comfortable by crossing the glass sliding door. We can choose the sliding door with good foot feeling and convenient for us to clean. If there are children and old people in the family, the height of the sliding door track should not be too high, and it is better not to exceed 5mm.
Advantages of trackless sliding door
The simple and atmospheric shape of the trackless sliding door gives people an elegant atmosphere, and the symmetrical design also conforms to the traditional concept of the Chinese people. Therefore, whether for warmth and comfort or matching with decoration style, many people like to install trackless sliding doors at home, and the advantages of trackless sliding doors are also obvious.
The trackless sliding door actually has a track, but its track is above the door, so it will not cause any damage to the ground when it is used, and will not cause jamming or noise because the whole track of the trackless sliding door is pressed on the ground.
Trackless sliding doors do not set tracks on the ground, so when the door is pushed open, it seems that the overall space is wider, and it is also inconvenient to walk. In particular, families with elderly people or children may stumble over this threshold.
After long-term trampling on the track of the sliding door, dirt will accumulate in the ground rail, which is extremely inconvenient to clean. Therefore, as long as the installation quality can be ensured, it is a good idea to choose this trackless sliding door.
Precautions for use of trackless sliding door
When using the trackless sliding door, do not hang heavy objects on the door leaf or avoid sharp objects from bumping and scratching. When opening or closing the door leaf, do not use excessive force or opening angle to avoid damaging the trackless sliding door.

When opening the trackless sliding door or turning the door lock handle, do not use excessive force, which will reduce the service life of the trackless sliding door lock. At the same time, pay attention to the looseness of the upper screws. When you find looseness, you must pay attention to tightening, so as to prevent any accidents during use.
