tracks for sliding glass front.

lichanura Dec 18, 2006 01:27 PM

I want to put sliding glass fronts on some of my cages but cannot find the tracks for the glass to slide on. Can anyone help here?

Thank you.

Since you say cages I'll assume you can justify the minimum order from Outwater, which I believe is only 12'. They are the cheapest I have seen.

Outwater Miracle Track

The product at the bottom of the page is what most people use (no wheels).

Thank you so very much. Now I can get back to work. I have 18 cages that I am converting.

LOL, then Outwater is the place. No trouble meeting the minimum order. They will cut it to length for you but I recommend having it cut a bit oversize, just to be sure you get it right.

Use glass with a pencil ground edge and use paste wax in the tracks and they will slide great.

Thanks again. I have been looking for months so I really appreciate this. Do you glue the tracks down or secure some other way?

I like liquid nails or similar adhesive. Bighurt recommends the loctite construction adhesive. I have not used it for any application but have only heard good things about it.
