Searching for: Glass Door Track & Lock | |
My business is building outdoor furniture, however my son’s elementary school ask me to build a glass case to display the American Flag. The display case is 42″H X 52″W X 16″T and the front opening is 27 7/8″ X 46 3/8″ My problem IS; I have built the cabinet, found a place to cut the glass, now I need a double track frame so the front doors will slide back and forth. I also need a plunge lock, or cylinder lock. You most likely will know more about what I am talking about the I do. I did find a place that had what I needed today, but the cost of just the hardware was more than what they can afford to spend on the entire thing. NEEDED: (1) Tracking as described below, b.b.rollers,guides (2) Plunge lock or cylinder lock, *the kind that does not show, it goes in the wood trim and not on the glass showing. (3) Brace for shelf middle, not made of medal that would detract from the case. The bottom track was about 3/4″ deep then the grove where the ball bearing roller and glass went go. The lock went through the 3/4″ part. (I think) I also need the top guide track etc. The glass will be 3/16″. What kind of support will I need for the shelf? I do know that they would rather not have a metal brace down the middle of it. What I really need is help, to get myself out of this mess. I’m sure some of you make these kind of things, and I need to know where I can find them. Thanks Doc. | |

Rockler sells a prefab track.

I have a catalog from Rockler, but didn't see the track like I was talking about nor the lock so I called the plant. They do have the pre fab track but not anything like what I am looking for.
Thanks
I need all the help I can get

Try C.R Laurance. They are a glass supply house, and they should have what you're looking for.

Hope this helps.

Rick;
I wrote an Email to C. R. Laurence just last night after looking through the catalog. They answered this AM telling me that they only carry tracking for a standard 1/4" glass, which is OK, but not the kind of track that would hide the lock, in other words the lock would have to be placed on the outside of the glass.
we've tried but not yet.
Thanks
doc
Try http://www.epcohardware.com they may have what you are looking for. I believe they are out of Flint MI.
