E-Motion Motorization

Completely invisible from the outside, this linear motor installs directly inside the track. Using magnetic technology, it delivers smooth, silent movement. Perfect for busy spaces like restaurants or bars where staff need hands-free operation. The E-motion device self-adjusts based on door size and weight, and can be customized with Push&Go, remote control, or radar activation. For a complete setup, check out our lighting and automation options to complement your motorized door.

ECLISSE Bias (Built In Anti-Slam) Soft-Close Damper

Never slam a door again. This essential accessory protects door frames and prevents finger injuries, especially around children. It works like a slow-close drawer mechanism, gently slowing the door as it closes. For even more control, the ECLISSE Bias DS (Double Side) also provides soft opening, ensuring the door glides smoothly in both directions. Pair this with curtains or soft furnishings to create a quiet, cozy room.

Sync Kit for Double Doors

If you have double pocket doors, a sync kit lets both panels open and close simultaneously with a single push. This accessory fits all major pocket door frames and works with standard sliding door tracks. It’s a game-changer for wider openings, like those leading to a patio or between a kitchen and dining room. For a complete look, consider our dining tables and kitchen islands to furnish the space beyond the door.

Light Points & Integrated Lighting

Add subtle illumination to your sliding door system with integrated light points. These can be installed inside the track or frame to create a soft glow when the door opens or closes. It’s a stylish way to enhance safety and ambiance. Browse our outdoor lighting and indoor lighting collections for complementary fixtures.
