Sliding doors move horizontally along a track, requiring no forward swing clearance—ideal for tight hallways and modern minimalist interiors. Swing doors open like traditional hinged doors, requiring clearance space in front and behind the door as it swings. In practical terms, sliding doors suit homes where space is constrained or you prefer a contemporary aesthetic.
Sliding doors provide automatic operation on our A-Series, opening smoothly with sensor activation. They are typically quieter due to smoother motion and integrate seamlessly into modern home designs. Choose sliding doors if your hallway is tight or you want the convenience of automatic operation.
Sliding doors are significantly better for tight hallways because they do not require any forward swing clearance. The door glides along a track within the lift frame, making them suitable even for very narrow hallways or constrained landings where swing doors would not function effectively.
If your hallway is under 1.2 metres wide or space is limited, sliding doors are the practical choice. They also offer automatic operation and maintain the lift’s compact footprint.
Yes. Our A-Series sliding doors can be clad with timber panels, veneer, laminate, or custom finishes to match your home’s joinery. Maximum cladding thickness is 5 millimetres (3 millimetres preferred), and the maximum door panel weight is 10 kilograms to ensure smooth operation.
Colour-matching is straightforward—bring samples of your finishes to our showroom and our team will coordinate with your builder or architect. The wall thickness aligns with the door thickness (55 millimetres) for a clean, integrated finish.
A-Series lift doors are available in a range of finishes including anodised aluminium, powder-coated steel, stainless steel, and timber veneer panels. Custom finishes are also available to match specific architectural styles or interior palettes.
All finishes are designed for durability, handling frequent use without degradation. Cabin interiors can be coordinated with matching or contrasting materials for a cohesive design outcome.
