8FT Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit, Double Doors, J Shape Hangers

So the hardware is great and the company even better. Reach out to them and they help you get exactly what you need. Here were my conundrums during installation: First, I needed to use one of the hollow wall fasteners. It wasn't load baring but it was to keep the track from flopping around on the end. The hollow wall fasteners sent are for standard drywall. I was too cheap to buy standard drywall when I built the room so the fastener didn't work. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was back in business. All that to say, if you used thinner drywall, you will need different fasteners than those provided. Next, and most importantly, the placement of the inner brackets on the doors. The pictures all show the brackets on the edges of the door. It looks amazing! However, if you actually place them there, the doors won't shut. The wheels stick out beyond the brackets and won't allow them to close. Don't make this mistake because drilling new holes aren't really an option. Pay attention to the wheels. I ended up correcting this mistake by purchasing HVAC pipe insulation tubes and putting those as buffers on the doors. Looks a little weird but not too bad. It did have a nice secondary affect in protecting the walls since I have an intentional 3" gap to the floor for airflow into the room. Finally, the directions are quirky and a bit difficult to follow at first. Just know that if it has two measurements, the second one is from the first measurement, not the starting point. Otherwise, great! Very smooth roll.

This Barn Door rail as shown in my picture installed with very few issues. The Rail and parts are of very high quality. Installation Instructions were well written. Issue # 1 - Box was slightly damaged when received, but there were no damaged parts. The only issue was I was missing one bolt, washer, nut for the plate that joins my 2 - 6 ft. pieces. Call to the vendor - I had replacement parts in 2 days. Issue # 2 - I did not want to use a support board behind the rail, because I had put extra studding support behind the wall specifically for a future Barn Door Rail. Call to the vendor - they sent me a complete set of longer spacers, also received within a few days at NO charge. I changed my mind afterword and decided to put a support board in place anyway to give the rail more support - highly recommended. Issue # 3 - I could not figure out the best method for installing the Floor Guides without having to temporarily removing a bolt. Question into Vendor - I received an answer within 24 hours which provided the best procedure to follow - eliminating the need to remove any bolts. Bottom Line, Product Support is equally as important as Product Quality. I am giving the Product / Vendor a 5 Rating because both criteria was met very successfully.

Very nice. Directions were pretty easy to follow. Looks gorgeous. Made sure we added a header board anchored into the studs, then anchored the rail through the header into the studs so it's very sturdy. Needed the header to bump the rail out so the door didn't hit the trim around the door frame. Just make sure you know where the bolts fit the rail will go before screwing on the header. And put the door stoppers on the rail before screwing in the lag bolts. Only issue I had was the package was missing the anti jump pads, door stoppers and floor guides. Emailed the company, they made me take pictures of what was sent then they were able to send out the missing parts. Took a few days. I ended up ordering 2 door stops just so I could get the door up on time as I couldn't wait the few days for the missing parts. Overall very happy with the finished product.

End results: Work great, look great, heavy duty too! Instructions arrived shredded, but thanks to the internet, we were able to change our hinged TV cabinet doors to barn doors. Some measurements in the instructions are off, FYI, so always measure twice before drilling holes. The doors work great now, would definitely do it again, just be careful with the instructions.

My husband and I bought a fixer-upper. And in order to save money we have been DIYing everything. We took down a closet in our house and we had closet doors that I up-cycled cut in half to use as shutters on the inside of the house. I used this barn door hardware and attached it to the old doors/ shutters. It was super easy to install and the glides roll perfectly smooth. We will be renovating our basement soon, and I already plan on ordering another set for down there!

15ft rail came in 4 short pieces which makes installation a bit more cumbersome, but overall the product works well. It was exactly what I needed.

We did the 11 foot track because our room is 13 ft wide and we didn't want the track to go too far with double 32-in doors. My husband has been in construction for over 20 years and did it himself but it took about 2-3 hours. However, he is a perfection, used a laser level and maid sure this is flawless. He said he could do it quicker now knowing a few things. Directions are easy but you will need a drill. He was also able to use the one set of stoppers and made a stop in the center so the doors have limited movement and stay on their side. We have three boys under the age of 10 and our big concern was them swinging the doors back and forth on the track. Since it is two tracks of 5 1/2 ft he was able to create the bumpers in the center and on the ends. See the pictures. But this track was a great value my only complaint is they did not send some washers and we were short on those but once again we made it work.

The instructions were pretty good, but one thing that puzzled us was the step where the round things were installed on the front/top of the doors. It keeps the door from jumping off the track. I don’t think it mattered how far from the door hangers we put them. We put them about an inch inside the hangers on both sides. We have trim, so we had to build out the “header” so that it was flush with our existing trim so that the door wouldn’t hit on the bolts on the wall side of the door. Our door is 1 3/4” thick. For the doors to close all the way, we had to put the door hanger/roller on the inside of the door trim. The thing you have to strongly consider is the depth off the wall if you have trim and that the hangers are placed such that the doors closes all the way. We didn’t use the floor guide hardware that came with the kit because we don’t have a router. I’m glad we didn’t because it took so long for us to paint the door trim that the doors warped a little. We bought some that screw into the wall and you can adjust the base with different rollers. Make sure your wall is super flush and straight and I guess shim if necessary. Our wall bowed slightly on the right side and the rail is so rigid (for obvious reasons) that it scrapes a little on the right when we close the door. I think I will put an extra washer or two behind that one screw on the rail to straighten it out. We followed the directions precisely, and the height they said in the instructions worked out perfectly. It left about a half inch gap at the bottom of the door for air return when closed. The rail connector didn’t hold it level, and wasn’t as sturdy as I would have liked, so we didn’t connect them until we had one side hung completely. We took our time and it took about 4 hours from start to finish.

Quality is great. I, however, ordered the wrong size and this company was amazing to deal with. Honest and fair.

Definitely need help when you install but they look great! Hubby cut a notch in bottom of door to control the sway. That piece is included and doesn’t require a notch to work he is just anal and wanted to do that. We have just ordered handles to complete the look. Well worth it. We found $50 doors, painted them a bold burnt orange and then added the hardware. Love it

For my needs the barn door hardware is strong enough. My problem with it was the way it was made. I should have sent it back to get a shorter one where the top rod came in one piece. That was our problem, the way the two pieces joined. The two flat pieces did not have a good square end so it was difficult to keep everything straight. The joining fitting should also have had the screws set in a off set pattern. this combination did not make for a nice joining of the two sides. The biggest thing was that the two ends were not square. Had they been square it would have made a better and tighter fit. Otherwise it does get the job done.

Works as it should, and easy to assemble.

I returned it, my plans changed, but it was heavy quality , would definitely recommend and if my future projects require a barn door track kit I would definitely buy
