Steel sliding doors

A steel sliding door is a glazed steel door that runs along a track instead of swinging open, either on a visible top-hung track or into a pocket in the wall. It saves floor space and is a good choice where a hinged door would clash with furniture or a radiator.

How steel sliding doors work

Sliding doors are common between living spaces and home offices, and in utility or boot rooms where space is tight. A face-fixed track shows the hardware as a feature, while a concealed track or pocket system keeps the look minimal.

The wall above the opening must carry the track, so we check what is behind the plaster on survey. Soft-close dampers stop the door from banging, and we can add a floor guide or a lock for privacy.

Questions about steel sliding doors

How much does an internal steel sliding door cost?

A single steel sliding door on a face-fixed track usually costs £2,900 to £6,500 fitted, including VAT. Pocket systems and bi-parting pairs cost more.

Do sliding doors need a bottom track?

No. Our sliders hang from the top, with a small floor guide to stop the door swinging. The floor stays flat.

Can a steel door slide into the wall?

Yes, with a pocket system built into a stud wall. It is best planned before plastering, because the pocket frame is built into the wall.

Are sliding doors good for sound?

A sliding door is less airtight than a hinged door, so it lets more sound through. If privacy is the priority, a hinged or pivot door with seals performs better.

Can a sliding door be locked?

Yes. A hook lock or privacy lock can be fitted to the leading edge.

How wide can a sliding door be?

Single leaves are usually up to around 1.2m wide; wider openings use two leaves that part in the middle.
