EXPOSED STAINLESS DIRECT ROLLER SYSTEM FOR SHOWER DOORS
Video shows a door with the Large Dirsct Rollers and the door is on the outside.
When door is on the outside, you don't really see the rollers.
But you can tell how nice the operation is from the video.

Stainless Rollers are larger than is even possible with hidden roller
systems found in typical sliding shower doors. Therefore the bearings
are larger and there is less friction. The door rolls with silky smoothness.
The beautifully finished stainless wheels will hold larger doors and last
much longer as well. Brushed or Polished Stainless steel will not tarnish
or corrode. The look of the system attracts the eye and because the bar
holds the panel and the panel holds the bar which holds the door, it delights
the mind. The finish is brushed stainless, which can't corrode or tarnish
or wear out. The alloy is 304 Stainless and if you can wait for a week
or so, we can get 316, marine grade stainless. We can also get custom
sizes and polished finish.
We are working to developer a ceiling mount support bracket for extra
large doors.
This system will work with
5/16", 3/8" and 1/2" Glass. We recommend 3/8".
If you want to use 1/2" Glass you need to tell us so we can swap
out some of the screws with slightly longer ones. |
We can supply glass.
We regularly ship glass across the country to home owners and contractors. Prices
in California are so low right now that even with shipping to your door we might
be able to beat your local supplier.
NEW: We now have track in stock for 48", 60" and 72" Openings.
These are the nominal shower opening, which means that openings within a couple
of inches of that size will work.
Other widths also available with a short lead time.
Door and Panel Kits
require drilling of only four holes in the tile. One for each end of the track
and two for the bottom guide. The end panel requires only one more hole.

This picture shows the Cylindrical Stop on one side. this is not included with
the kit.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Instead of cylindrical
stops, we include SDTB Bulb Seal
for use on the edge of the door glass. The glass bumps up to and sits tightly
against the tile for better water proofing and simplicity. Cylindrical Stops
are, of course, available, however a top mounted stop makes the door rock a
bit unless there is also a bottom stop.
Difference
between Door and Panel Kit and the Door-Panel-End Panel Kit |
DOOR AND PANEL: The above picture shows the Wall Mount hanger. |

WITH END PANEL: End of Track Glass Mount Hanger (YM-ZG-FAC).
This is used when there is a 90 deg. return panel. |
Door and Panel: is the most
common. Hardware and installation supplies for a sliding door and a
fixed side panel is included.
Door Panel End Panel version includes 1 - End of Track Glass Mounted
Hanger instead of wall Mt. hanger, an extra 42" Brushed Nickel
aluminum U-Channel for the bottom of the end panel and an SCU4BN
Bracket for the top of the End Panel. Other
brackets are available.
WHAT"S IN THE BOX:

|

Improved Packaging |

Also included is a modified
P990 drip rail seal with high bond double face tape for the bottom
inside of the door. This is barely visible from the outside and seems
to eliminate the need for threshold and vinyl.

Shows location of the two holes for 60 Drilled Track. Other sizes on request. |

The
Direct Roller allows the Door and Panel to be the same height. The gap between
Door and Panel is about 1 5/8", which is larger than most aluminum sliders
but completely workable. Ceiling Mounted hangers are also available. Ceiling
mounted hangers can reduce the gap between door and panel or increase the gap.
Double sliding doors that are close together is also possible with ceiling mount
hangers.
The
track for the door is held up in the middle by the fixed panel. The fixed panel
is held in place by the track. And the track is fastened to the wall by end
of track wall mount brackets (YM-ZG-FA).
Having rollers on the top
and the bottom of the track means the glass door cannot fall off the track.

The hardware for this system runs
$669.00 for a 60" drilled track with 4- rollers. Track can be cut down.
With End of Track Hangers the opening width can be up to 61".
Included is:
