Windows And Doors Sliding Hardware System Factory

Complete Sliding System Hardware from One Manufacturing Partner

WANO is a Sliding System manufacturer and OEM/ODM supplier based in China, focused on horizontal-track hardware for windows and doors. Since 2003 we have built a 38,000 m² manufacturing base with more than 500 employees, a 100-person R&D center, and 15 in-house laboratories. Our sliding range covers lift-and-slide, parallel-slide and folding-slide configurations, plus standard sliding window components such as crescent locks and rollers.

We supply fabricators, window system brands, architectural hardware dealers and project clients with coordinated hardware sets rather than isolated parts. Because we control die casting, stamping, machining, surface treatment and assembly in-house, we can match the hardware package to the profile system, sash weight and project performance target.

Sliding System Product Families and Application Fit

Our range is divided into two application-oriented families so fabricators and distributors can specify the right level of hardware complexity for each project. Lift-and-slide hardware is used when a large, heavy sash must move smoothly and still deliver high weather performance; standard sliding hardware is selected for simpler window and door configurations where reliable daily operation is the main requirement.

Process and Application Fit

Sliding hardware selection starts with the panel that carries the load. For a lift-and-slide door, we consider sash width and height, panel weight, track geometry and the number of locking points required to hold the leaf flat against the perimeter gasket. For a standard sliding window, the main decisions are roller load, lock style and the groove or channel used by the existing profile.

Because our window hardware portfolio covers UC groove, C groove, PVC and wooden profiles, we can adapt sliding component selection to the actual frame material and adaptation dimensions. If you send profile sections or a hardware layout drawing, our engineering team confirms the fixing positions and locking layout before we move to samples. Opening types and locking configurations can be tailored with multipoint locking, 3D adjustment ranges, anti-error features and fall-prevention mechanisms where the project requires them.

Materials, Critical Specifications and Quality Control

Material choice and surface treatment determine how sliding hardware performs in coastal, high-humidity and high-use environments. We select zinc and steel components for strength where needed, and we validate the complete system rather than only individual parts.

• Load and tensile testing for hinges, locking points and roller brackets.
• Opening and closing cycle testing that simulates long-term daily use.
• Salt spray testing to confirm corrosion resistance of surface finishes.
• Torque and operating-force checks to keep handle movement consistent and ergonomic.
• First-article inspection, in-process control and pre-shipment verification across our 15 laboratories.

Test reports, including cycle endurance, load and salt spray results, can be included with the project documentation. This gives your installation team and end client a clear record of performance verification.

OEM/ODM Customization and Brand Integration

We support both OEM manufacturing from your drawings and ODM development of new handle profiles, locking layouts and finish options. Our customization work follows a structured process: requirement consultation, drawing or sample confirmation, technical assessment, sample development and testing, pricing confirmation, mass production, quality inspection, and packaging and delivery.

• Handle profiles, curvature, grip thickness and styling, from minimalist to modern luxury.
• Powder coating, electrophoretic coating, anodizing, and custom textures or colors.
• Laser engraving, screen printing or die-cast integrated molding for brand marks.
• Custom unit boxes, outer cartons, product certificates, warranty cards and packing lists.
• Neutral or brand-exclusive packaging for different distribution channels.

For distributors, the same hardware set can be delivered with your brand identity while keeping installation dimensions compatible with the profiles you already sell.

Installation, Maintenance and Delivery Scope

We supply hardware as complete sets or individual components, depending on your production line. For fabricators running automated or semi-automated assembly, we confirm groove dimensions, locking point positions and packing format before mass production so the parts can be introduced without rework. For dealers, we use unit boxes and outer cartons that make stock counting and order picking straightforward.

Rollers and locks are components of a sliding system that experience the highest operating frequency. Our cycle testing and final inspection are designed to catch dimensional or material issues before shipment, reducing field complaints and callbacks.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

To prepare a proposal that matches your profile and production target, we need the following project information:

• Sash type, dimensions and panel weight for each opening style.
• Profile system, groove type and track width (UC groove, C groove, PVC, wood or custom profile).
• Required locking point count, handle position and operating force preference.
• Finish, texture, logo and packaging requirements for branded distribution.
• Expected order volume, sample timeline and delivery destination.
• Any project-specific test or documentation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lift & slide hardware and standard sliding hardware?

Lift-and-slide hardware lifts the door panel off the track when unlocked, so the sash can travel horizontally with lower effort and then drops back onto the perimeter seal for high weather performance. Standard sliding hardware keeps the sash on a continuous track and uses rollers plus a locking mechanism for simpler, more economical window and door applications.

Can we get our own brand on sliding hardware?

Yes. We offer OEM manufacturing from your drawings and ODM development of new hardware. Brand marks can be applied by laser engraving, screen printing or die-cast integrated molding, and packaging can be printed with your logo, model numbers and warranty documents.

Which window or door profiles can this hardware fit?

Our sliding hardware is commonly matched to aluminum, PVC and wood profiles, including UC groove and C groove adaptation systems. The final configuration depends on track width, sash dimensions and fixing positions, so we confirm the layout against your profile drawing before sampling.

What quality checks are performed before shipment?

Our 15 in-house laboratories cover incoming material inspection, first-article inspection, in-process control and final pre-shipment verification. Core tests include load and tensile strength, opening and closing cycles, salt spray resistance and torque/operating force checks.

What information do you need for a sliding system quotation?

The most useful starting data is sash dimensions and weight, profile system/groove type, track width, locking point count, required handle position, finish and branding preferences, packaging format and target order volume. With that information we can propose a configuration, samples and production timeline.
