When it comes to cavity sliders, one question often arises: Do they need steel inserts? The short answer is yes. Here’s why steel inserts are so important for cavity sliders.
The Importance of Steel Inserts
Preventing Bowing
Without steel inserts, a door can easily warp or bend. This issue is more likely with hollow core doors, which are less stable than solid doors. Steel inserts provide the necessary support to keep the door straight and functioning correctly.
Warranty Concerns
Many suppliers understand the risks associated with cavity sliders that lack steel inserts. As a result, they often refuse to warranty their cavity sliders if a standard hollow core door is used without these inserts. This policy is in place because the likelihood of problems increases significantly without the added support of steel.
