What are the pros and cons of removable handles and permanent handles? The option of using a removable handle is usually considered when buying a pocketing door system. Using removable handles will allow a narrower sized pocket. If all the panels have removable handles and there are no other obstructions, the pocketing door system can be opened into a flush position when pushed into the pocket.

How wide is the pocket? This measurement will vary depending on how many panels are in the system. Let our sales personnel know the door configuration and number of panels and they can calculate the pocket width for you.

Can you have removable handles on a pocketing door? Yes, most people prefer this option due to the larger pocket size required to accommodate the permanent handles.

What parts are included with the door system from Weiland? Tracks, Panels, Jambs, Hardware, Door Handles, and touch up paint.

What is not included with the door system from Weiland? Installation Screws, Shims, Shim Wood, Stain/Paint for Wood, Removable Pocket Trim, Casing, Drain Pan.

Where / how are the transverse drains routed on the jobsite? The transverse drain is a feature of our flush track for the lift slide door systems. It is positioned at a 90’ angle between the parallel tracks. A drainage tube is connected to each drain so that it can be routed through the concrete slab to the outside of the building.

How wide is the head track? This measurement will vary depending on how many panels are in the system. Our sales personnel can calculate this width for you.

How wide is the side jamb? The primary jamb will be 3 -9/16” and can increase in width depending upon the number of panels and configuration.

Are both side jambs of a lift slide door system equal in size? This measurement will vary based on the number of panels included in your unit and also determined by the configuration of the panels.

Are the head tracks on Weiland lift slides staggered? Yes, whenever the door system has more than two panels the head track is staggered.

Are the bottom tracks on Weiland lift slide staggered? Yes, they mirror the staggered head track.

How do the lift slide doors lock? Rotate the handle up over glass to a locked position. This sits the door down onto the floor and secures the door panel to the jamb with the multi-point locking system. Door must be in locked position to be water resistant.

If the removable handle is out of the door, what do you hold on to when sliding the door? The handles unlock and release the door. Grasp and hold the panel itself in order to slide the door.

Will Weiland make custom sized stiles and rails? While the dimensions of each stile and rail are static and a part of each door product design, please discuss any specific design ideas with our sales personnel.

Is Weiland product tested and /or certified for water penetration, air infiltration, thermal integrity, structural load deflection, and forced entry resistance? Each and every Weiland door system is custom designed, built and tested for each customer. The almost infinite # of sizes and configurations makes certain testing prohibitive. Please contact your sales representative for more specific information.
