March, 2009 -- When it's time to install new sliding doors or replace old sliding door hardware, the logical choice is Johnson Hardware's Series 2200 hardware. Thanks to the many exclusive design features of Series 2200, the job is easy for any do-it-yourselfer. The only tools needed are a Phillips head screwdriver, a hammer and occasionally a drill.
Every feature of this deluxe residential grade hardware is designed to help assure easy installation, reduced maintenance and smooth operation. What's more, long life is built in. The track is heavy extruded aluminum, the hangers heavy-gauge steel with zinc plating, the wheels molded nylon and the pulls 3/4-inch diameter brass plated.
Among the exceptional features of Series 2200 hardware is the unique aluminum track design. The convex track rails are designed to offer minimal friction and prevent doors from "jumping the track." And the track faces feature a "Hi-Light" design that adds a decorator touch while simultaneously helping conceal blemishes that may occur during installation.

Series 2200 hardware also offers exclusive balanced-wheel hangers. These distinctively designed hangers feature machine-turned and balanced wheels and are reversible, allowing the hanging of either 3/4- or 1-3/8-inch thick doors. With these hangers, doors can be adjusted up or down without removing or changing screws, and the three-point fastening holds doors securely.
The patented adjustable door guide features a one-piece metal guide assembly that adjusts laterally for a quick plumb. Constructed of woodtone finished steel, the door guide features one-inch high nylon guide posts that can be installed in alternate slots for either 3/4- or 1-3/8-inch doors. Even warped doors are sure to glide smoothly without binding, thanks to center and outside guides that swivel automatically. And widening or narrowing the door clearance is as simple as a 180 degree turn of the outside guides.
Best of all, Series 2200 -- like all Johnson Hardware -- is backed by a lifetime guarantee. Johnson Hardware will replace any item found defective in material or workmanship, regardless of its date of purchase.
Johnson Hardware offers a booklet that shows just how simple it can be to replace old hardware. "The Fifteen Minute Fix-It Guide for Broken Closet Doors" provides diagrams and clearly written text, making it easy to identify the most common trouble spots associated with sliding doors, and to follow recommended steps in fixing them.
