Frequently Asked Questions

How big a door can SlideDrive™ move?

The standard unit supports doors up to approximately 50" wide and 4" thick. For a wider door, request a quote first.

Does SlideDrive™ replace the top rail?

No. The system is designed to work with many existing barn door rail systems already installed.

Does the system require ceiling mounting?

No. The system operates near the lower guide area instead of using bulky overhead operators.

How much does SlideDrive™ cost?

The standard SlideDrive™ starts at $695, with free shipping to the lower 48 states. Custom configurations are quoted separately.

Can the door open automatically when someone approaches?

As an option. SlideDrive™ can be configured with an external motion/photo sensor that triggers the door to open when someone approaches. When paired with the controller's timed-close function, the door can open automatically, remain open for a programmed period, then close automatically. This is not part of the standard $695 unit.
