Single Track Sliding Barn Door Hardware

A classic J-strap style single track sliding barn door hardware kit in a matte black finish, installed on a light-colored wood door with a single glass panel.

Elegant Simplicity
This classic system is the cornerstone of barn door design, offering a versatile and space-saving alternative to traditional swinging doors. By gliding on a single continuous rail parallel to the wall, it has become the most popular choice for residential applications, accounting for over 70% of DIY projects. Perfect for standard doorways, closets, or room dividers, our hardware is designed to maximize floor space while providing a smooth, reliable glide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our traditional kits are "all-in-one" solutions. Each kit includes a high-quality steel track (rail), Two or four hangers (rollers) based on your choice of one or two doors, wall spacers, door stops, anti-jump discs, one or two floor guides, and all necessary mounting bolts and screws.

To ensure your door slides completely clear of the opening, your track must be at least double the width of the door(s) you are installing.

  • Single Door: Track length = 2× door width. Example: A 36" door needs a 72" (6-foot) track.
  • Double Doors: Track length = 2× total door width (or 4× one door width). Example: Two 36" doors need a 144" (12-foot) track.

Our standard kits iare the gold standard for classic barn door installations, offering a balance of timeless design and reliable performance. Unlike specialized systems like bypass or hidden rollers, the standard style features the iconic exposed strap-and-hanger aesthetic.

  • "Whisper-Quiet" Operation: Unlike lower-quality metal-on-metal systems, our Traditional kits feature high-density nylon or Delrin wheels. These materials are specifically chosen to absorb vibration and provide the smoothest, quietest glide on the market.
  • Standard Door Compatibility: This hardware is precision-engineered to fit the most common interior door profiles, supporting thicknesses of 1 3/8" and 1 3/4".
  • Versatile Mounting: Designed for straightforward installation, the Traditional kit is the most user-friendly option for DIYers and contractors alike, provided there is sufficient wall space for the door to slide fully open.

Yes, but you will need a track long enough to accommodate both doors and an extra set of hangers. Many customers use a single long track for two doors that meet in the middle, creating a "bi-parting" traditional look.

We highly recommend using a hardwood header board (usually a 1x6) if your wall studs do not align perfectly with the pre-drilled holes in the steel track. A header board provides maximum stability and ensures the door weight is securely distributed.

Our standard single-track kits are engineered for durability and can support solid wood doors weighing up to 250 lbs, depending on the specific model and proper installation into wall studs.

For our traditional J-shape hangers, you need 5 inches of clearance between the top of the door and the ceiling (or crown molding). If you have less space, you may want to explore our Hidden Roller collection.

Standard kits are designed for doors with a thickness of 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". For thinner doors, down to 1/2in, check out our mini cabinet kits. For thicker doors, up to 2-1/4in thick check out our heavy duty kits. If you are using a custom door outside of these ranges, please contact us; we provide modified bolts and spacers to accommodate various door depths.

No. Our rollers are equipped with high-density nylon or high-grade steel wheels and premium ball bearings. This ensures a smooth, quiet glide that protects the powder-coated finish of the track.

Yes. While we offer various standard lengths, our high-carbon steel tracks can be cut down during installation to fit your specific wall requirements.

  • How to Cut: If you need to shorten your track, we recommend using a hacksaw or an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel.
  • Maintain the Finish: To prevent corrosion and maintain a professional look, we suggest applying a small amount of touch-up paint or clear coat to the freshly cut edge.
  • Measure Twice: Because the track's mounting holes are pre-drilled, we recommend cutting from the end of the track that does not interfere with your hole spacing or door travel.

Not sure which track length to start with? If you'd like help determining the best hardware setup for your space, feel free to email us. We can help you calculate the ideal starting length before you make your cuts.

To match your home’s aesthetic, we offer our traditional kits in several finishes, including Matte Black (most popular), Arch Bronze, Brushed Nickel, and Raw Steel for a truly industrial/rustic look.

Yes. Every barn door hardware kit we sell includes a standard floor guide to ensure your door stays on track and doesn't swing away from the wall. This essential component provides stability and safety for daily use.

  • Standard Guide Included: Our kits come with a high-quality, low-profile floor guide suitable for most standard installations.
  • Versatility for Any Project: We understand that every floor type and door style is different. We offer a variety of specialized floor guides to suit your specific application, including wall-mounted guides (to avoid drilling into your floors), heavy-duty stay rollers, and T-guides for grooved door bottoms.

Every kit comes with door stops specifically designed to keep the door from sliding off the track. These stops are engineered to be mounted at the ends of the rail, providing a solid physical barrier that ensures the rollers stay securely on the track at all times. They feature rubber bumpers to cushion the impact, protecting your door and ensuring a quiet, soft landing when the door is fully opened or closed.

No. Our standard kits are engineered for a "whisper-quiet" glide. We prioritize high-performance materials to ensure your door operates smoothly without the metal-on-metal "clatter" often found in low-quality hardware.

  • Nylon & Delrin Technology: Our standard wheels are crafted from high-density nylon or Delrin, which are our quietest roller options. These materials are specifically designed to absorb vibration and eliminate noise, making them ideal for noise-sensitive areas like bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices.
  • Precision Ball Bearings: Each hanger features high-grade, lubricated ball bearings that reduce friction to nearly zero, ensuring a fluid motion that requires minimal effort to slide.
  • Smooth Track Surface: Our tracks feature a seamless, powder-coated finish that provides a consistent path for the rollers, preventing the "chatter" or jumping associated with unfinished or uneven steel.

While these kits are primarily designed for interior use, our Stainless Steel options are better suited for outdoor applications to prevent rust and corrosion from exposure to the elements.
