How They Work
Jamb Kit
Along with the metal frame we supply also the finishing joinery kit, sometimes called the jamb kit. It's this that makes the finished product into a beautiful, professionally finished sliding door. The jambs are made from quality finger-jointed pine with a real wood cherry walnut veneer, unfinished and ready to accept a stain, paint or varnish.
The kit includes the vertical wooden jambs that cover the leading edges of the pocket and the top horizontal jambs that cover the top of the door/brackets. These are supplied with brushes that attach to the jambs and project towards the door to give a good finish to the internal pocket. Apart from double door installations, where it is not needed, we also supply a recessed wooden doorpost. As the door closes it enters the recess in the doorpost, ensuring a clean, vertical closure line with no chinks of light peeping through.
The finishing touch - rubber bumpers for the internal angles of the recessed doorpost, so the door closes quietly with no clash of wood on wood.
