What if my door is a different thickness?
If your door falls outside these ranges, we may still have a solution! Depending on the specific system, we offer spacer extenders, adjustable spacers, and hex bolts that can help make our hardware compatible with a wider range of door thicknesses. Please contact us for personalized assistance.

Do I need a header board for this setup?

Yes, a header board is crucial for both structural integrity and aesthetics. It evenly distributes the door system’s weight to prevent drywall damage and allows for flexible track placement, as you are not limited to mounting directly onto wall studs.

What type of wood is best for a header board?

A sturdy hardwood is recommended to adequately support the weight of your barn door. Popular choices include:

  • Red Oak: Strong, durable, and has an attractive grain.
  • White Oak: A strong and durable option with a lighter color.
  • Maple: Offers excellent strength and a clean appearance.
  • Birch: A solid, affordable, and readily available choice.
  • Poplar: Known for its consistency and is easy to paint.

Avoid softwoods like pine, as they may not be strong enough to support the door’s weight over time.

What are the recommended dimensions for a header board?

For optimal stability, your header board should be a minimum of 1 inch thick and 6 inches wide. The length should be long enough to extend to the next stud after the end of the track to ensure full support.

What are the track dimensions for this kit?

The robust steel track included in this kit measures 1/4 inch in thickness and 1-1/2 inches in width.

How are longer tracks shipped?

Tracks longer than 7 feet 6 inches will be shipped in multiple sections. These sections can be easily connected using the included hardware. Shorter tracks will be shipped in a single piece.

Do you offer custom track lengths?

Yes, we can provide custom track lengths to fit your unique project. Contact us for assistance.

Is this hardware suitable for outdoor use?

While this standard steel hardware can be used outdoors, exposure to rain or high humidity may cause rust over time. For optimal outdoor performance, we recommend our Stainless Steel series hardware.

Is there a weight limit for the included wheels?

Yes, the included wheels are best for doors weighing less than 150 pounds. For heavier doors (up to the track's weight limit), we recommend using metal wheels.

What material are the roller wheels made from?

The roller wheels are manufactured using high-quality nylon. This material ensures smooth, quiet operation as the roller glides along the track.

How do I adjust the space between the door and the wall?

You can adjust the space by using a thicker header board behind the track or by using our adjustable spacers, which are installed between the track and the wall to precisely control the gap.

Can I extend the track if it’s too short?

Yes, we offer additional track sections with mounting hardware that can be seamlessly connected to your current track to achieve your desired length.

Can I convert this to a double track bypass system?

Yes, conversion kits are available to change a single track system to a double track bypass. For detailed information, please email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com for assistance.

Is there a size limit for doors used with this hardware?

To prevent a door wider than 4 feet from warping, we recommend using additional hangers to distribute the weight evenly.

Is a floor guide essential for this installation?

Yes, a floor guide is a crucial component. This kit includes a floor-mounted guide that keeps the door aligned with the track and prevents it from swinging. Its benefits include:

  • Smooth Operation: Ensures a smooth and quiet sliding motion.
  • Durability: Made from high-quality materials to withstand daily use.
  • Easy Installation: Includes all necessary hardware and instructions.

Is there a warranty for this product?

Yes, this product is backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty covering defective parts under normal installation and use.

Do you have a gallery of installation examples?

Yes! We have a Pinterest page dedicated to showcasing installed projects for photos and inspiration.

Love the product with one exception. When connecting both rails, the holes were slightly off. Even though the door goes across the entire rail okay, because of the slight difference between where the rails meet, there is a little drop when closing the door and a little trip to make it over the connection point of the two pieces which form the continuous rail when opening the door. Aside from that, quality materials and love the look of it.

Installation tips

I just finished the install. Overall it went very well. One thing worth noting is that unless you want to use a header board, and if mounting to the joists is important to you, you might want to consider getting a longer track than you need so that you can get the spacing correct. Case in point, for the 8-foot kit, the middle 5 holes are 16" on center. The outboard holes are IIRC, 14.5" from the last 16" center holes. Also, for assemblingthe tracks together, one of the interlocking joints was perfect, but I had to tweak the other one with a small file. Andrew was great at answering questions, both pre and post sales.
