In our Series 20 range, you’ll find many of these parts made from rugged stainless steel, one of the sturdiest and most reliable metals used for hanging materials of various weights.

Can I use any hangers and rollers for sliding doors?

No. You’ll notice that on all our product pages for Series 20 hangers and rollers for sliding doors, there are specific weight limits listed in the titles and/or product descriptions. This is the maximum amount of weight the part in question can hold and it should not be exceeded. Otherwise, the safety and stability of the sliding door(s) will be thrown into question. This is why you should always check the weight of the doors you’ll be using in your project before making a purchase.

Can I use any sliding door with the Absolute Evo Single Pocket Door Kit?
