ASSA ABLOY announced that it has launched the RITE Slide, an integrated opening assembly where all individual door components are included to create a complete door system. RITE Slide is engineered for a wide array of applications and industries, specifically where sound control and space are critical to the design, such as medical exam rooms, patient rooms, offices and hotel meeting spaces. RITE Slide ensures privacy and quiet operation with sound seals, automatic door bottom, and soft-close operation to minimize slamming, and wear and tear on the door and hardware. Offering both acoustically rated and non-acoustic options, the sliding door has a perimeter seal that blocks out light and sound, and operational door hardware for passage or privacy with locking applications. The acoustically rated series has been third-party tested to an STC 34 utilizing a flush wood door as a complete assembly according to ASTM E90. RITE Slide's integrated assembly design includes all of the necessary door components including the frame, door, operating hardware, track hardware and accessories. RITE Slide's design also saves space by occupying a fractional footprint compared to traditional swing doors. The aluminum frame and track has a narrow 1-1/2" face frame profile for a sleek aesthetic design.
