Custom Built Units

Each SlideDrive™ unit is custom-built to match your door and space.

  • Stain matched to your door
  • Paint matched to trim or interior
  • Multiple wood options available
  • Unit size adjusted based on door size

Your system comes pre-programmed and ready to use. Simply install and adjust.

Installation (Step-by-Step)

  • Step 1: Remove ONE bottom bolt completely from the floor guide so the unit can rotate.
  • Step 2: Rotate the unit and position it at the baseboard where the floor guide sits.
  • Step 3: Install the unit into the baseboard using the two long screws. These screws secure the entire unit — tighten firmly.
  • Step 4: Rotate the unit back to the front position.
  • Step 5: Reinstall the second bottom bolt. Lightly tighten both bolts (do not fully tighten yet).
  • Step 6: Adjust the unit:
    • Rear wheel adjusts distance from wall
    • Front applies pressure to door
  • Step 7: Apply pressure if needed: Use a screwdriver behind the rear wheel to push it tighter, then tighten the bolt.

Sensors & Magnets (Door Stoppers)

IMPORTANT: These are your stopping system.

  • Sensors install LEFT and RIGHT at bottom of unit (stationary)
  • Magnets install on bottom of the door
These MUST align exactly where the door should stop.
  • Door should stop RIGHT BEFORE top rail stopper
  • OR stop at the exact same time

This keeps your system smooth and prevents impact damage.

Trim Guard (Optional)

A trim guard is included and can be installed on the bottom edge of the door.

Recommended for painted doors to prevent wear from the drive wheel.
