The opening leaf slides outside the fixed leaf. When the door handle is released the sliding leaf moves off the weather seal and then can be easily moved on its track. The door can be stopped and restrained in any open position on the track by closing the door handle.
Ironmongery The sliding door glides smoothly on sealed roller bearings, on a hardened aluminium alloy track.
Restrictors There is a secondary locking device on the fixed mullion for use at all times when the door is closed. It is centrally positioned where the fixed and opening mullions meet. This secondary lock serves three important purposes:
Increased resistance against forced entry
Additional tightening where the fixed and sliding door meet to avoid weather penetration
Resistance to timber movement
The central lock requires to be engaged when the door is closed. The sliding door should not be used as a main entrance door.
NorDan sliding doors are also fitted with alloy anti-lift discs located in the frame head, which prevent intruders from lifting the sliding door off its track. For any maintenance or finishing, the anti-lift devices can be removed, but only when the sliding leaf is unlocked and opened.
Optional aluminium cladding Aluminium cladding is optionally available for the combination window. Powder coating available from the classic RAL colour range. Aluminium cladding increases the life-span of the door and also greatly reduces maintenance costs.
Mullions and transoms Mullions and/or transoms can be incorporated in sliding doorsets to create separate glazing areas. Panels can be used to replace glass.
Optional trickle vents Vents are available to order in a range of colours.
