Daily sliding door hardware is generally divided into top-hung sliding doors, side-hung sliding doors and inner sliding doors. Most of the sliding doors have the problem of exposed hardware, especially when the track is exposed. Some manufacturers will match the hardware with decorative covers. To minimize the redundant lines and shapes of the hardware, even with the decorative cover, the sliding door hardware still inevitably sees the exposed hardware, which affects the visual effect of the overall customization. Therefore, in response to this pain point, Ghost Gate uses brand-new design thinking to solve the drawbacks of exposed hardware and create a picturesque space effect for the home.
The principle of the ghost door
In the past, sliding doors in the industry used the mechanical principle that the pulley moves with the door. This design principle is very strict in the opening accuracy of the plate in the early stage, and the later installation process is also complicated, and the exposed hardware affects the overall design to a certain extent. feel.
The ghost door subverts the previous design principle. It uses the design principle of "rails follow the door" and uses the door panel to cover the track. The track and the door panel are integrated. No matter where the door panel moves, it will move with the track to achieve the inside of the track. Tibetan. Since the main support pulley moves in the track, the door panel covers the main support pulley while covering the track.
In addition to the upper rail concealment, the ghost door does not need to install the lower rail on the hard surface, and the ground wheels are also hidden inside the door panel to realize the concealment of the lower rail.
How to install the ghost door
The design principle of "rails move with the door" minimizes the damage of the ghost door to the wall. There are fewer requirements for the wall construction in the early stage, and there are few holes in the installation process.
However, there are several points to pay attention to when installing the ghost door: then determine the relationship between the door hole and the width of the door; find the position of the door hole and determine the position of the positioning key; secondly, determine the door height and use the formula to calculate the installation of the main bracket pulley high.
Customized plan for ghost door
The conventional track length of the Phantom Gate is 1220mm. You can cut the track according to your needs, and the shortest track can be cut to 800mm. Ghost doors are generally used in indoor partition doors, which have a coherent feeling with the wall, and the transition is smooth and natural.
Phantom door accessories
The accessories of the Phantom Door are streamlined, but the overall experience is impressive. The main accessories are the main support pulley, track, buffer, ground wheel, lower positioning parts and so on.
