Glass sliding door with recessed handle + own handle bar

First decide on the more practical opening width, then on the type of handle. We liked a bar and made the passage a bit wider for it.

How wide is your passage? Ours is 98 cm clear.
Offer with handle bar is almost twice as expensive as it is not available as a promotional offer.


Thanks for the pictures! Looks good. I think we will take the recessed handle since the door mostly stays open. When I see the two screws, I could imagine attaching a handle here afterwards. One would just have to design and have it welded in an appealing way.

I am on a business trip and cannot measure exactly. We had the frame installed into a wall opening, leaving about 110 cm. The sliding glass door hangs on a track and runs in front of the frame; the stainless steel bow handle reduces the passage width by about 20 cm, as it stops just before the frame at the end. All in all, a very simple, attractive, and for us very satisfactory solution. A significantly narrower passage would not be a problem, but it would not fulfill the proportion we wanted.

That will then be three times as expensive.

No, I’ll take a photo over the weekend. Our door frame was lovingly crafted by a master carpenter from individual strips and only took a few hours. The material cost is negligible. When I see what those systems all cost, I think we got off very well. It brings daily joy, the unique piece, and feels like a gift. You can buy a product. The care that a person who truly enjoys their work gives to the product and the client cannot be bought with money.

Hello My statement referred to the statement of the OP "Offer with handlebar is almost double the price, as it is not available as a promotional offer." Then a custom-made product is certainly not desired as it is even more expensive. I installed it without a frame.

We have a clear width of 86 cm and on the glass sliding door a rod/shell combination. This is screwed continuously and not glued.

This way the door opens the entire width and can be opened from the living room using the rod and from the hallway using the shell.
