Horseshoe Heavy Duty Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit

Door weight: Up to 600 lbs. Under 400 lbs? The heavy duty J-strap or flat top strap cover you at the same capacity with a simpler profile. Save the horseshoe for doors that genuinely need it.

Door thickness: 1‑3/8 in to 2‑1/4 in. Outside this range? Email us before ordering.

Wall clearance beside opening: Must equal full door width on the slide side. Limited clearance? See bypass or bifold hardware.

Wall header: A solid header above the opening is required for track mounting. If there is no existing header or backing in the wall, we recommend installing a minimum 1×6 hardwood board (3/4 in thick × 5-1/2 in wide) that extends past the length of the track to the next stud or structural support point on each side. No solid header and cannot install one? See ceiling mount hardware.

Ceiling clearance above door: 5-1/2 in required. Need less clearance? See standard duty horseshoe (4 in).

Door width: Your door must be wider than the rough opening. For standard rooms plan for 2 in of wall overlap on each side — opening + 4 in. For bedrooms and bathrooms, 3 in per side gives better privacy — opening + 6 in. Minimum functional overlap is 1/2 in per side. See our measuring guide for full sizing formulas.

Door height: Measure from finished floor to the top of the rough opening and add 1 in. The extra inch covers the top of the opening while leaving 1/2 to 1 in of clearance at the bottom for the door to slide without dragging. If you have thick carpet, check that clearance is adequate along the full travel path before ordering.

Tracks over 7'6" ship in multiple sections with junction plates included. If you have finished hardwood, tile, or LVP, you'll need a wall-mounted floor guide instead of the included floor-mounted guide. If you have casing or trim around the opening, extension kits for trim clearance are available as a separate purchase — contact us for sizing guidance.

At 600 lbs, the header board is not optional — use solid hardwood at minimum 1×6, spanning the full track length and fastened securely into every stud. We recommend emailing us before installation on very heavy doors so we can confirm the mounting approach. Step-by-step install guides are available for every kit.

Heavy duty kits don't include handles, a latch, or a trim clearance kit — plan for these before checkout:

• Handles: Bar pull or D-pull for the room-facing side — browse our handles collection
• Flush pull: For the wall-facing side if the door needs to be operated from both sides — browse our flush pulls collection
• Latch: Keeps the door closed deliberately — browse our locks and latches collection
• Trim clearance kit: Required if casing or trim surrounds the opening — add at the product level before checkout
• Wall-mounted floor guide: If you have finished hardwood, tile, or LVP you can't drill into — browse our floor guides collection

The track must be at least 2× the door width for the door to fully clear the opening. Measure the door panel — not the rough opening.

Single door: 2× door width — e.g. 36 in door → 72 in track

Biparting (2 doors): 2× combined door width — e.g. two 36 in doors → 144 in track

For biparting: add both door widths together first, then double the combined total. Every track is custom-cut to your specification. If the length you need isn't listed, request a custom quote — non-standard lengths are priced the same as the next standard size up.

This is a made-to-order product. Custom track lengths cannot be returned. Confirm your measurement before submitting your order.
