Will this track work with 1/8 inch thick glass?
BEST ANSWER: I have used 3/16" glass in these tracks with no problem. 1/8" glass should work just fine.

will this work with 1/4 inch plywood panels?(not glass doors) or is there a better choice?
BEST ANSWER: This will work with anything that is 1/4 thick. Just make sure there are no splinters on the wood and put a little wax on the wood for easier sliding.

can i get this in 8' lenths
BEST ANSWER: If you can you would have to go to some place special if Rockler can't help you. I would suggest a glass shop where they sell glass sheets for special doors and windows.

I have some 8mm glass (about 5/16") which I would like to use as sliding cupboard doors. Does anyone know where I can get tracks that will accommodate this thickness of glass?

BEST ANSWER: Your glass would be a very tight - if not impossible - fit if you tried to use this track; it's just barely over 1/4".
I bought it for the same purpose (china cabinet doors), but my glass is only 3/16" - even that will be close!
However, my project got put on hold, so I haven't actually used it yet, but I think it will be fine for what I need.
Hopes this helps you decide what NOT to buy!

This product contains upper and lower set? I don´t see any info about upper or lower
BEST ANSWER: If you look closely at the picture you might be able to see the height of the top track is greater than the height of the bottom track. That height difference allows you to lift the sliding panel into place over the bottom track. Gravity and the top track then hold the panel into place.

I am building a cabinet, have two 10" x 22" x 1/8" thick glass panels. need track hardware?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Dana,
The double track in plastic will work very well. I recently made a cabinet with similar size doors and the track worked very well. I used plexiglass plastic for the doors to reduce the overall weight of the cabinet. Lowes will cut the to size. Do some figuring first and you may both doors out one piece. Saves a few bucks. Lastly think about the handle placement on the doors. Hard to get them off if you put them on the wrong side. They come with the track.
Good luck. It should go pretty easily.

What other hardware will I need with the track?
BEST ANSWER: The track works well by itself. I have glass doors that I put in the track. I would suggest a handle, hole, or tab on the sliding door if it doesn't already have one. For mine I used self-adhesive clear plastic tabs that I bought from glass people. For cutting the track I would suggest a hand saw and miter box. It was a cleaner, safer cut compared to a power tool and the material cuts easily. I cut a dado into the top and bottom of my cabinet to receive the track and glued it in place with construction adhesive. This makes it virtually invisible.

Do these upper and lower tracks work for the side tracks as well?
BEST ANSWER: I didn't use them for the sides, however there shouldn't be a problem using them on the side of the opening if you're just using them to block any opening that might occur at the ends of the sliding door panels. I would use the deeper of the two tracks for that purpose so be sure you order enough track to accomplish that. I fastened my tracks with 3m double face tape along the entire length and they've stayed in place for 2 years now.

I am concerned about smooth sliding of 4' x 4' glass mirrors with rollers, is there a similar version with rollers?
BEST ANSWER: I don't think so. These tracks won't take the weight of plate glass mirrors. Unless, they are framed and have rollers built into the frame.

do the instructions include measurement guides for ordering glass? I have a project that I would like to be able to pop the doors out of while still keeping them secure.
BEST ANSWER: Take the top to bottom opening measurement prior to installing the track and subtract 7/16". This will allow you to pop up into the larger track and then place into the shorter lower track. The width of the glass should have a 1" overlap. So for a 41" opening, you would need two pieces of 21" wide glass to achieve the 1" overlap.

The tracks work great. I used small black screws to hold them in place and am using a 1/4" clear polycarbonate for my glass.

Used for a bearded dragon cage...
Used for a bearded dragon cage made for my grandson. Not stated in description: Both top and bottom tracks included in Qty of 1. Attachment: For flush mount I used light 1/8 bead of Gorilla polyethlene glue along middle of track only then medium pressure clamps, 5-6 per 4'. Mark track line because plastic track will wander along 4' distance when clamped. Instructions give method of determining glass measurement. Shade it minus a 1/16" since glass cutters use rulers as a general guide.

This is a great product that is easy to work with. My only complaint is that you have to drill your own mounting holes and recess the heads of the tiny screws so the glass/lexan can pass freely. Next time I would try to glue them in place.

Perfect for adding Over Cabinet Storage
I used this track to add glass enclosed storage above my Kitchen cabinets. I used power grab construction adhesive to install the track both upper and lower. Some of my glass panels are stationary while others slide. I will be displaying my collectibles 'dust-free' now. I did paint the tracks with silver spray paint.

Works great for Aquarium Hood Applications
I needed to build a hood for my aquatic turtle tank setup. I purchased these tracks and 3/8" plexi panels to allow access from the side to access and feed the turtles.
This product was simple to install. I used Titebond to adhere the top track to a thin strip of pine & the bottom track went into a dado and was glued in a similar manner inside the track. Both have been exposed to moisture & water and the tracks have stayed in place, with no movement. They are easy to clean out and they give the hood a really nice finished appearance. I searched around but this was the only set I could find locally. Well worth the price and a great product for this application!

I have built two cabinets using this track. It is a very good product. The directions indicate the track may be glued in place, but does not suggest a type of glue to use. Polyurethane glue will not bond to the plastic track.

Snake Enclosure
I couldn't find sliding door track anywhere that was narrow enough to mount to 3/4" Maple, not even a glass shop. This door track worked perfectly and I mounted using construction adhesive instead of hardware. Would definitely buy again. Works best with 1/4" glass for snug fit. Anything smaller in thickness will have some play in it.
Worked perfectly for snake enclosure using 1/4" thick glass for a tight fit.
