    Go crazy and add a shipload of extra slider guides for say 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 open to secure the flappy bottom.
    I suspect bracing diagonally would be needed more than ever as my kit bought many years ago does have Brother

    Hey mate, it's one slider door, 2600w. I am yet to install a lower slider track, I need to grab some from work. The top track is from an industrial castor manufacturer in Clayton, they had some good gear there, and it was bloody well priced. Unfortunately they didn't have the guides so I'm going to install some 50mm angle and use that to guide the entire door. Should be able to capture the entire door on open and capture each end on close, I've left 100mm overhang either side of the door. Add that with a pad bold either side the door hopefully won't go anywhere.
