Plastic Double Sliding Track - Production or Stock

Tubeway manufacture and stock plastic double sliding door track for use in cabinet, wardrobe, cupboard and vivarium building. The profiles are generally paired as a deep top channel with shallow bottom channel, enabling the double door track to be fitted before the doors are installed.

These durable PVC double channels are made in three different types:
T centre leg - double track has built in spacing between each door, allowing protruding fittings (e.g. screw heads) to pass smoothly as the doors open and close. This design favours larger MDF, board and plywood doors, for example, in wardrobes and cupboards.
Straight centre leg - double tracks or door runners are designed to allow the doors to pass more closely, giving a neater finish with a smaller gap between the sliding doors. This design is more suited to glass doors, where the handles are sometimes bevelled into the door, and for vivarium building, where glass doors with virtually no gap within the door running track prevent the snake or reptile escaping.
Straight leg clip on - these double tracks are designed to clip directly onto a board end, making installation clean and easy. This removes the need to use adhesive tape, and covers the cut end of the board to give a neat finish.

We can fulfil your plastic double track requirement in several different ways:

• from the stock range below,
• from a made-to-order run of 500m+ using an existing stock tool or pair of tools,
• from a made-to-order run using double track tooling from the list further down,
• from a new tool, cut to the shape and size you need.

Stock Double Channel

Tubeway manufacture these double sliding tracks, and carry a healthy level of stock that is replenished at short notice. To buy online for swift despatch and delivery, follow the links in each table, where you will also be able to order from our excellent range of double sided tapes, for clean and easy installation of double tracks.

Production Double Channel

If your double track requirement is small, then a few stock packs may be enough. If, though, you need several hundred metres, a production run can be more beneficial than buying the same quantity from stock. This can save you money, allow the plastic double tracks to be cut to specified lengths, be run in a colour match or one of our many standard colours.

When browsing the additional tooling details below, please bear in mind that we can make new tooling should the appropriate sizes or styles not be listed.

In addition to the choice of centre leg, that either spaces or closes up the gap between the tracks, there are other features that can be added to plastic double track design:

• most common is to have raised "bumps" within the Bottom section, so that the door that slides is raised slightly within each channel. This prevents dirt or grit from impeding the door
• in cabinet building, the double tracks or door runners will often be attached to board or panel ends, which may have a cut edge. This edge can be masked with a front lip that hangs down for a few millimetres, and which also masks any small gap caused by the double sided tape thickness
• for ease of installation, a knock-in barb can be added to the profile below the tracks. Channel legs so that the double track clips onto the board end provide the same function, whilst also hiding any rough edges.

If you do require Self Adhesive Tape for your double tracks, this can often be applied during production - resulting in a neater and cheaper finish than if applied by hand on site.
