Manhattan Running Mechanisms

Deane's most desirable ‐ Modern, frameless styling with these Italian inspired sliding mirrored wardrobes!

All sliding wardrobes running mechanisms we provide are designed to create an effortless and ease free glide across the wardrobe track. This is no different with the Manhattan Aluminium Wardrobe with Mirror Doors range. The top mechanisms act as guides to locate the sliding door central to the aluminium track channel. This simple yet professional method is done using a 3 wheel sprung top wheel, which pushes the front of the door clear of the tracking edge. The lubricated wheels then glide effortlessly across the aluminium tracking channel. At the bottom of the Manhattan sliding mirrored wardrobes door, the running wheel is the weight bearing element of the sliding wardrobe. Each wheel is designed using lubricated metal ball bearings to improve the glide of each door. The independent height adjustment screw allows you to increase the position of each sliding door by up to 20 mm. Once fully installed the wheel  can smoothly glide across the aluminium track.

All Manhattan sliding wardrobe wheels and top guides are cycle tested to 100,000 opening and closing actions in accordance with the ANSI BHMA A156.14 standards charter. This American standard outlines requirements for all Sliding wardrobe doors and Folding Door Hardware used in mainland America. The standard covers abuse, durability and static load, smoothness of the glide mechanism, static friction as well as kinetic friction. The standard universally covers hardware used for light to heavy doors and covers both residential and industrial applications.
