A Double Bypass Barn Door Hardware Kit is a dual-track system designed for wide openings with limited wall space.Unlike a single-track system, this configuration utilizes two parallel tracks mounted one in front of the other.

• Independent Movement: Because each door sits on its own track, the panels can slide past each other freely. This allows you to stack the doors or move them to either side of the opening independently.
• Maximum Accessibility: It is the ideal solution for large closets, pantries, or laundry nooks where you need to access both sides of the opening but don't have enough "return wall" space to slide a standard door fully out of the way.
• Full Overlap: The double-track design enables the doors to overlap completely, maximizing your walk-through space without requiring the doors to leave the footprint of the opening.

The decision between a Double Bypass and a Traditional Single Track kit is almost entirely determined by the amount of available wall space (often called "side-room") next to your door opening.

• Choose a Double Bypass Kit if you have little to no wall space on either side of your opening. Because the doors sit on two parallel tracks and slide over one another, they stay within the footprint of the door frame. This is the standard choice for closets, pantries, or laundry nooks located in hallways or tight corners.
• Choose a Traditional Single Track Kit if you have ample wall space to the left or right of the opening. In a traditional setup, the door slides completely off the opening and rests against the adjacent wall. This is ideal for a classic barn door look in open-concept living areas or master suites where wall obstructions aren't an issue.
• Aesthetic & Profile: Traditional kits have a lower profile, sitting closer to the wall. Double Bypass kits protrude further into the room to accommodate the two layers of track and hardware, but they offer the unique ability to "stack" your doors.

The difference between these two systems comes down to the number of tracks used and how the doors move in relation to each other. Both are designed to save space, but they solve different layout challenges.

• Single Bypass (One Track): This system uses a single track for both doors, making it the most low-profile option. Because the doors share one track, they feature a telescoping action—sliding one door automatically engages the other to open or close in unison. This kit requires 6 to 8 inches of headroom, depending on the roller style selected.
• Double Bypass (Two Tracks): This system uses two parallel tracks mounted one in front of the other. This allows for independent movement, meaning you can slide each door to any position freely. It requires more "depth" (projection from the wall) but offers maximum flexibility for accessing different sides of a closet or pantry.
• Wall Projection: Single Bypass stays much closer to the wall, while Double Bypass protrudes further to accommodate the dual-track setup.

Because the doors slide past one another on two tracks, you generally need more "projection" space than a standard kit. You should plan for about 6 to 7 inches of clearance from the wall to the front of the outermost door.

Yes. We strongly recommend installing a minimum 1x6 hardwood header board for all bypass systems. Because these kits support the weight and leverage of two doors, a header board is essential for a safe and level installation.

• Structural Integrity: A 1x6 hardwood board provides the necessary density to hold mounting bolts securely under the increased tension of a dual-door system.
• Stud Alignment: Since pre-drilled track holes rarely align with wall studs, the header board allows you to anchor into the studs first and then mount your tracks exactly where needed.
• Safety & Clearance: It ensures the tracks stay perfectly parallel, preventing doors from rubbing or sagging over time.

For a professional look and total privacy, we recommend an overlap of 2 to 4 inches. This ensures that when the doors are pulled "closed," there is no visible gap between them.

Depending on the model, our systems can support 75–250 lbs per door. Always ensure your header board and wall structure are rated for the total combined weight of both doors. Got a super heavy door you want to bypass? Just reach out, and we'll be happy to give you the details!

Yes. Our bypass systems are versatile enough to accommodate three or four doors, depending on your opening width and the level of accessibility you need.

• Single Bypass (One Track): By adding extra sets of hangers to a single track, you can run three or four doors in a synchronized telescoping configuration. This keeps the profile slim while covering a wider span.
• Double Bypass (Two Tracks): For wider openings, you can use two parallel tracks with three or four doors. This allows the doors to stack on top of each other, providing flexible access to different sections of the opening.
• Triple Bypass (Three Tracks): For maximum flexibility, a triple bypass uses three parallel tracks, allowing three separate doors to slide independently of one another. This is the ultimate solution for large openings where you want the ability to stack all doors into the width of a single panel.

Standard double bypass kits usually require 8 to 9 inches of headroom (the space between the top of the door opening and the ceiling). This accommodates the two tracks and the hangers. If you have limited space, check out our single bypass options.

Yes. We offer a wide variety of finish options to ensure your hardware integrates seamlessly with your design. While many styles are available, our most popular finishes include:

• Matte Black
• Brushed Nickel
• Arch Bronze

To ensure a high-end, cohesive look, every component in your kit—including the track, hangers, and spacers—is finished to match.

Every bypass kit we provide includes a dedicated floor guide for each door. This ensures that both panels remain perfectly aligned and slide smoothly without swinging or impacting one another.

• A Guide for Every Door: Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, providing a guide for each door ensures maximum stability and allows you to position the guides exactly where they are needed for your specific door width.
• Versatile Applications: We offer a variety of other floor guides depending on your specific application. Whether you need a wall-mounted guide to avoid drilling into your floors or a stay-roller for heavier doors, we have a solution for every flooring type.

Not at all. We use precision-engineered nylon or Delrin rollers with high-quality ball bearings. This ensures that even when moving multiple doors at once, the operation is whisper-quiet and smooth.

We do not recommend mounting bypass tracks directly into drywall. Due to the weight of two doors and the distance the tracks sit from the wall, you must mount the hardware into wall studs or a hardwood header board.

Each bypass kit includes door stops engineered to stop the travel of the door and keep it securely on the track. These stops are mounted in a fixed position to provide a solid physical barrier, protecting your walls and ensuring the doors stay perfectly aligned within the intended range of motion. For added protection, they feature rubber bumpers to cushion the impact and provide a quiet landing.

Yes. While we offer various standard lengths, our high-carbon steel bypass tracks are designed to be cut down during installation to perfectly match your project’s dimensions.

• How to Cut: For a clean, professional edge, we recommend using a hacksaw or an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel.
• Maintain the Finish: After making your cut, we suggest applying a small amount of touch-up paint or clear coat to the raw edge to protect the steel and maintain a seamless look.
• Hole Alignment: Because our tracks are pre-drilled, we recommend measuring carefully and cutting from the end of the track that does not interfere with your mounting hole spacing or the door’s travel path.
