ROLLER GUIDE DOOR SLIDE

Doors are common in restaurant equipment design from refrigerators and freezers, to ovens to ice machines. A door is a hinged or otherwise movable panel that allows access to an enclosure, cabinet, bin, or other cavity or container.  A door assembly comprises the components that work in tandem to allow the door to function properly such as the door set, strike, catch and lock set. Doors may be hinged and swing open and closed, or they may slide within a frame. Very frequently, restaurant equipment doors feature tempered glass windows which allow for visual inspection or merchandising of food and beverage products.

Slide or Door Slide or Drawer Slide are blanket terms used in the industry for all ball bearing slides, telescopic slides, drawer runners, linear slides, rails, and various other guides. Slides are used in refrigerators and freezers, merchandisers, holding and service cabinets and more. A slides movement describes exactly how the slide operates inside of the cabinet. Typically, this is either telescoping movement, which occurs in stages or progressive movement where the various slide members move simultaneously.
