We’re here for you all day, every day, even on weekends. If you need help with your order, just shoot an email to evan@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com. He’ll give you all the suggestions, ideas, and personal assistance you need to get your order just right. 

Our bifold barn door hardware kits are compatible with doors that are 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick. This ensures a secure and smooth-functioning sliding mechanism for your bi-fold doors.

To ensure a fully clear opening when your sliding doors are fully open, you'll need to add extra track length on the folding side. Here's how much you'll need:

• 2-door setup: Add 5 inches of track length.
• 4-door setup: Add 10 inches of track length (5 inches on each side).

This extra length allows the doors to fully overlap and create a completely unobstructed passageway.

When installing barn door hardware, a header is crucial for several reasons:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: A header provides a cleaner and more finished look to your installation, elevating the overall appearance of your space.
• Structural Integrity: By distributing the weight of the barn door system evenly, a header prevents potential damage to drywall, especially for large or heavy doors.
• Flexible Installation: Headers come pre-drilled with track mounting holes, allowing you to customize the track's position on the wall. Without a header, you're limited to the stud locations.

• Structural Integrity: By distributing the weight of the barn door system evenly, a header prevents potential damage to drywall, especially for large or heavy doors.
• Flexible Installation: Our barn door tracks come pre-drilled with mounting holes for easy installation. Using a header allows you to precisely position the track on your wall, giving you more design flexibility. Without a header, you're limited to mounting the track directly onto wall studs.

For your barn door header support, a sturdy hardwood is recommended. This will ensure it can adequately support the weight of your barn door.

Here are some popular choices:

• Red Oak: Known for its strength, durability, and attractive grain.
• White Oak: Another strong and durable option with a slightly lighter color.
• Maple: Offers excellent strength and a clean, classic appearance.
• Birch: A solid choice that is affordable and readily available.
• Poplar: Known for its consistency and paintability.

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

For optimal support, we recommend a minimum header board thickness of 3/4 inches. The length of your header board should be equal to or slightly exceed the length of your barn door track. This ensures adequate support for the weight of your door and prevents sagging or instability.

The barn door hardware track, constructed from robust steel, measures 3/16 inch in thickness and 2 inches in width.

Tracks 7 feet, 6 inches and longer 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.

Yes, we do! Every Goldberg Brothers hardware track is meticulously crafted to your exact specifications. Whether you need a track longer or shorter than our standard options, we can accommodate your needs.

While our steel hardware can be used outdoors, it's important to note that it may rust if exposed to constant rain, running water, or high humidity. This can lead to a shorter product lifespan. For optimal outdoor performance, we recommend our Stainless Steel series hardware. Its rust-resistant properties ensure long-lasting durability in even the harshest weather conditions.

The heavy duty bifold hardware kit is available in stainless steel. Please contact Evan at evan@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com. He will guide you through the process and provide you with a quote.

To adjust the space between your barn door and the trim or wall, you can:

• Modify the header board: By altering the thickness of the header board, you can create the desired clearance.
• Using Extension Kits: Extension kits are available in different thicknesses (1/2in, 7/8in, 1-1/4in) and allow you to adjust the distance between the door and the wall. For details and compatibility information, please contact Evan at evan@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com

These methods allow you to customize the fit of your barn door to your specific needs and preferences.
