CHOOSING THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR HARDWARE FOR YOUR PROJECT A GUIDE FOR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS
THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING THE RIGHT HARDWARE When it comes to sliding doors, hardware plays a critical role beyond just visual appeal. It’s about ensuring the product performs flawlessly while integrating smoothly into your design. At KN Crowder, we’re focused on providing innovative solutions such as commercial grade soft close barn door systems that offer long-term reliability and high-end function. Our entranceway hardware is engineered with the architect and designer in mind—merging technical excellence with aesthetic sophistication to simplify your specification process.
SPOTLIGHT ON CATCH ‘N’ CLOSE SYSTEMS Our Catch ‘N’ Close sliding door system is a patented soft-close solution that transforms the sliding door experience. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, it brings a quiet, controlled close every time. You’ll find Catch ‘N’ Close technology integrated into a variety of systems including exposed flat bar hardware, pocket doors, ceiling-mounted tracks, and sliding glass barn door hardware. It’s also featured in advanced solutions like the Crowder Sync, which synchronizes bi-parting doors, and the Crowder Slide, created for privacy in healthcare and office settings. These systems provide designers with versatile options that combine performance and architectural elegance.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY & VERSATILITY What sets KN Crowder’s Catch ‘N’ Close system apart is our pioneering use of gas spring technology—an innovation that ensures a smooth, soft close even on doors up to 300 lbs. and as narrow as 18 inches. This technology is engineered to eliminate slamming and minimize wear, while its 50,000-cycle test rating guarantees long-term durability. The system can be installed on both the opening and closing ends of the door, offering complete control and adaptability. Whether your project calls for a subtle sliding door track or a robust commercial-grade setup, our system delivers unmatched reliability.
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE We understand the value of efficient installation, which is why our Catch ‘N’ Close systems are designed for ease from the start. The closing device is fully integrated into the track, removing the need for extra components or complicated steps. In particular, our Crowder Frame pocket door systems include a special Catch ‘N’ Close slot that allows device replacement without removing the door, trim, or even disturbing drywall. This feature, available for doors 30 inches and wider, ensures your installations remain efficient, while maintenance stays straightforward and non-invasive.
CUSTOMIZATION FOR DESIGN VISION Every design project is unique, and so are the hardware needs that come with it. That’s why KN Crowder offers complete customization across our sliding door hardware systems. Whether you’re seeking specific finishes, materials, or tailored configurations, we collaborate directly with architects and designers to ensure the hardware aligns with your architectural intent. From minimalist modern spaces to industrial lofts, our custom finishes and hardware solutions integrate seamlessly, complementing the overall look while delivering dependable function. This includes high-end options for sliding glass barn door hardware and commercial interior systems.
