Single track sliding hardware runs one or two doors on a single track — one door sliding to one side, or two doors sliding away from each other (biparting) to fully clear an opening. We carry five Goldberg Brothers hanger styles plus a Quick Ship line that ships in 2–3 business days, with one J-strap kit in stock for next-business-day shipping. Capacities run from 75 lbs to 250 lbs depending on the hanger — see the comparison table below. Not sure which hanger style fits your door? Use our hardware finder.
Single track sliding hardware is the most common barn door configuration — one door on one track, sliding to one side to clear the opening, or two doors on one track opening from the center in a biparting setup. Everything in this collection is hardware only, no door included. If you haven't already, review the barn door hardware kits page for track length rules and configuration guidance that applies across all kit types.
Two situations where this collection isn't the right fit: if your door weighs more than 200 lbs, go to heavy duty kits instead. If you don't have enough open wall space beside the opening for the door to fully retract, look at bypass hardware or bifold hardware before buying a single track kit you can't fully use.
Is this the right kit for your door?
Before selecting a product, confirm two things: your door weight and your available wall clearance.
Door weight
Standard single track kits are rated for doors up to 200 lbs with J-strap hangers — the most popular hanger style in this collection. Horseshoe hangers can handle up to 250 lbs, but they're less commonly chosen for aesthetic reasons. If your door exceeds 200 lbs — thick solid wood slabs, metal-framed doors, or oversized panels — we'd route you to heavy duty kits rather than push the upper limit of a standard kit. It's not worth the risk of hardware failure on a heavy door.
Wall clearance
Single track hardware requires open wall space equal to the full door width on the side the door slides toward. A 36-inch door needs 36 inches of clear wall beside the opening — no light switches, outlets, trim, or obstructions in that space. If that clearance isn't available, a bypass or bifold configuration solves it. Measure before you order.
Hanger styles and capacity
| Hanger style | Capacity | Ceiling clearance above door | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| J-strap | 200 lbs | 4-1/2 in | Most popular all-around — modern industrial look, curved arm over the roller |
| Horseshoe | 250 lbs | 4 in | Heavier doors; more visual weight to the hanger; lowest clearance in the lineup |
| Straight strap | 125 lbs | 4 in | Minimal profile; clean flat bar look; low ceiling clearance requirement |
| J top mount | 100 lbs | 4-1/2 in | No visible hardware on door face — attaches to top edge only |
| Straight top mount | 75 lbs | 4 in | Lightest duty top mount; hollow core or lightweight solid core doors |
| Quick Ship | 220 lbs total system | Standard | Ships in 2–3 business days; matte black or brushed nickel; budget-friendly |

Goldberg Brothers vs. our Quick Ship line
Both lines work. Here's the honest breakdown of where they differ.
Goldberg Brothers
Goldberg Brothers hardware is made to order — each piece is individually inspected before it ships. The engineering tolerances are tighter than anything else we carry at a comparable price point: better bearings, closer gaps between moving parts, and a powder coat finish that holds up noticeably better over time. Goldberg standard kits use Delrin wheels — an engineering polymer that runs quietly and is rated for doors up to 200 lbs. The Quick Ship line uses nylon wheels, which are functional but a step down in smoothness and durability. On a heavy solid-wood door, that precision matters — slop in the bearings or a loose fit on the track shows up quickly under load. Across every brand we've stocked since 2016, Goldberg has the fewest warranty claims and customer callbacks. If you're building something you want to last, this is the line.
Quick Ship
Two genuine advantages: price and availability. Quick Ship kits are held in inventory and ship immediately — no made-to-order wait. For a lighter interior door on a budget-driven project, the Quick Ship line installs and operates without issue. We won't recommend it for heavy doors or high-traffic applications, but for the right project it's a legitimate choice and we'll say so plainly.
Finish options
Standard single track kits carry a more limited finish selection than our heavy duty and bifold lines. Available finishes by brand:
| Brand | Available finishes |
|---|---|
| Goldberg Brothers | Matte black, black, arch bronze, silver metallic |
| Quick Ship | Matte black, brushed nickel |
If a specific finish outside this selection is important to your project — Jacob's gold, raw steel, or any of the designer colors — look at our heavy duty kits or bifold hardware kits, both of which carry the full 17-finish range.
Soft close
Soft close is available as an add-on for every kit in this collection. It decelerates the door in the last few inches of travel so it doesn't slam against the stop.
It's worth adding for bedroom doors, bathroom doors, doors on shared walls, and any high-traffic door in a home with kids. For a pantry or laundry room door that doesn't get heavy use, it's less critical — functional but not essential. If noise and controlled closing matter on your install, add it. It can be added at the product level before checkout or retrofitted after the fact if you decide you want it later.
Track length — the rule that matters most
For a single sliding barn door: the track must be at least twice the door width. A 36-inch door needs a minimum 72-inch track. Order a shorter track and the door can only slide halfway open — the most common and most avoidable ordering mistake we see.
For the full formula table by configuration — single, bypass, and bifold — see our track length guide. For the complete pre-order checklist including ceiling clearance and wall clearance, see our barn door measuring guide. If your door size isn't listed, email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com before ordering.
For doors wider than 60 in, an additional roller is strongly recommended to prevent warpage over time. See our extra rollers guide.
