Achieving a Seamless Look: Mounting Your Sliding Door with a Low Headroom Plate

Are you looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your sliding door while optimizing space usage? CoSlide brings you an innovative solution – the low headroom plate, used on low clearance doors. In this blog, we'll explore the questions surrounding the installation of a sliding door with a low headroom plate, unraveling the secrets to achieving that sleek and seamless look.

What is a Low Headroom Plate and Why Does It Matter?

A low headroom plate is a specially designed hardware component that allows the top of your sliding door to slide remarkably close to the track. This feature is crucial for spaces with limited vertical clearance, making it an ideal choice for rooms where every inch counts. By minimizing the space between the door and the track, it creates a seamless appearance, adding a touch of modernity and sophistication to your living or working space.

How to Select the Right Low Headroom Plate for Your Sliding Door: 

Low clearance plates and kits are available in our 100kg and 150kg door track ranges. Sliding door hardware can be hard to choose, which is why we've made it easy with our bundle builders. To choose the correct headroom plate or kit, use the bundle builder, where everything works together. 

How Do I Install a Sliding Door with a Low Headroom Plate? 

Installing a sliding door with a low headroom plate may seem intricate, but with the right guidance, it becomes a straightforward process. Begin by securing the low headroom plate to the top of the door, making sure it is centered and level. For extra low set ups, the low headroom plate can be rebated, or recessed into the door so the top of it is flush with the door.

How Do I Adjust a Sliding Door with a Low Headroom Plate? 

Low headroom plates are adjustable to raise the door up or down for a perfect fit. When installing, be sure to mount the adjusting side where it is accessible. To adjust the height, use the supplied hex tool to loosen the locking nut. Then, using an Allen key, tighten or loosen the bolt to raise or lower that side of the door. Do the same on the other side to get the door to the required height. Remember to make sure the door is level, and retighten the locking nut to secure it in place.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Low Headroom Plate?

The advantages of incorporating a low headroom plate into your sliding door system are abundant. Firstly, it maximizes space utilization, crucial for rooms with minimal clearance. Secondly, it delivers a clean and streamlined appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your space. Additionally, the low headroom plate is adjustable, so you customize the height to suit your room.
