The roller mechanism conceals behind the door panel—you won't see the wheels or roller hangers from the front. The track, wall-mounted brackets, and bottom floor guide remain visible. This creates a cleaner look than fully exposed systems while maintaining the barn door aesthetic.

You'll see the track running along the wall above the door, the mounting brackets that attach the track to the wall, and a small T-guide at floor level. The roller mechanism itself stays hidden behind the door panel.

Single Roller supports doors up to 125 lbs and uses a narrower roller assembly (3-1/4" wide). Double Roller supports doors up to 250 lbs with a wider roller assembly (5-1/2" wide) for heavier solid wood doors. Choose based on your door's weight.

Your door must extend at least 4-3/8" above the top of the door opening to properly hide the roller mechanism. This overlap ensures the rollers remain behind the door panel and out of view.

This kit works with doors as thin as 1". There's no maximum thickness limit—the door just needs sufficient height to overlap the opening by at least 4-3/8" to conceal the roller mechanism.

Yes. Hidden roller hardware reduces visual clutter compared to traditional exposed-roller systems. If you like the barn door look but prefer less prominent hardware, this offers a middle ground—you still see the track, but the bulkier roller components stay out of sight.

Yes. A header board distributes the door's weight evenly across the wall, prevents drywall damage, and provides a solid mounting surface. Use hardwood at minimum 1" thick and 6" wide, extending to wall studs beyond each track end.

Track dimensions are 1-1/2" wide × 3/16" thick—slightly narrower than heavy-duty systems but appropriate for the weight capacities offered.

No. Soft-close mechanisms are not compatible with hidden roller hardware systems. The internal design of the concealed track does not allow for the integration of soft-close devices.

The main difference is how the rollers attach to the door—they mount in a position that places them behind the panel rather than on the front face. The track installation is similar to standard systems. Detailed instructions are included with every kit.

Yes. Every track is custom-cut to your exact specifications. We can accommodate any length—tracks over 7'6" are shipped in multiple sections with junction plates for seamless connection. To get started, please fill out our custom quote form.

This powder-coated steel hardware can be used outdoors in covered areas, but exposure to rain or high humidity may cause rust over time. For outdoor installations or coastal environments, we recommend our Stainless Steel Hardware, which is specifically engineered for weather resistance.

To prevent a door wider than 4 feet from warping over time, we recommend using additional hangers to distribute the weight more evenly. Email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com for more information.

Yes. The included floor guide keeps your door aligned with the track and prevents swinging, ensuring smooth operation and preventing the door from shifting away from the wall. It's a small component that makes a significant difference in performance.

Available finishes include Matte Black, Black, Arch Bronze, and Silver Metallic. All finishes are powder-coated for durability.

Yes, the kit includes Delrin silent wheels for whisper-quiet operation.

Hidden roller kits are custom-manufactured to order in the USA. Allow 10-15 business days for production before shipping.
