Install the Track

Install the Rollers

  • Attach to the door: Position the rollers evenly on the top of the barn door, starting about 2 inches from the edge. Ensure they're level for smooth operation.

Hang the Barn Door

  • Lift and attach: With a helper, lift the door and attach it to the rollers. Make sure it hangs level and slides smoothly.

Add Handles or Knobs

  • Attach securely: Install the hardware to the door for easy opening and closing.
