Modern J Top Mount Bifold Barn Door Hardware Kit | 6 Door One Way

Panel weight: Up to 62.5 lbs per panel. Six panels works out to 375 lbs across the system, though that's simply the per-panel rating multiplied out rather than a separate limit. For heavier panels, see our heavy duty 6-door one-way bifold, rated to 200 lbs per panel.

Maximum panel size: 24 in wide × 84 in tall per panel. For larger panels, heavy duty bifold supports up to 48 in × 108 in.

Panel thickness: 1-1/4 in to 1-3/8 in. Because the hangers fasten to the top edge rather than through the panel face, one kit covers the range — there's no thickness variant to select. For thicker panels, heavy duty bifold handles 1-3/8 in to 2-1/4 in.

Panel width: Sized on total panel width — all six panels combined — rather than the rough opening. See the sizing section below for formulas and worked examples.

Panel height: Opening height + 1 in. That leaves 5/8 to 1-1/4 in of floor clearance, adjustable at the wall-mounted pivot during installation — more adjustment than sliding hardware gives you, which is useful over uneven flooring or thick carpet.

Ceiling clearance above door: 5-1/2 in required between the top of the door panels and the ceiling.

Wall clearance on stack side: For a fully clear opening, 15 in of clear wall — the six panels fold into three 2-panel folds, each 5 in deep. On the pivot side, a minimum of 1/2 in between the track end and any adjacent wall or trim, so the pivot panel can rotate freely. No stacking space is needed there.

Room depth on the stack side: When the panels fold open they swing perpendicular to the wall, so the folded stack reaches into the room by the panel width plus 1/2 in — roughly 20-1/2 in on a 100 in opening sized symmetrically. A one-way stack needs very little wall but real floor space. Check that nothing occupies that footprint: a narrow hallway, an appliance door, or a swinging cabinet on the stack side can rule the configuration out.

Wall header: A 1×6 hardwood header board is the minimum for every installation — oak, maple, or poplar, not pine. It spreads the load, and it decouples the track's bolt spacing from your stud spacing, since the track's mounting holes rarely line up with studs. On a track this long that matters more than usual, and the board must run continuously across any track joint. Extend it past the track to the next stud or structural support point on each side. Never mount to drywall alone. Ceiling mount is not compatible with bifold hardware, so a solid header is the only mounting route.

Trim beside the opening: Casing, baseboard, or other trim projecting up to 1/2 in is already handled — the kit ships spacers that stand the track off the wall, with nothing extra to buy. If your trim projects more than 1/2 in, email us with the measurement before ordering.

Returns: The listed track lengths are stock sizes and return under the standard window — 25 days from delivery with pre-approval and a 25% restocking fee. Designer colors are custom orders and can't be returned, which leaves 8 of the 17 colors returnable. See our return policy

Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Hardware is sold as rustic-finished, so minor marks and patina are characteristic rather than defects.

A 6-door one-way kit is a 2-door set with two extra rolling hangers and additional hinges — one continuous chain of six panels rather than separate stacks.

• Pre-punched track (1), in your selected length — supplied in multiple sections with joining plates on lengths over 7 ft 6 in
• Fixed top-mount hanger (1) · Loose top-mount hangers (3) — four hangers total, all attaching to the top edge of the panels
• Wood screws for top-edge hanger attachment
• Hex bolts, 3/8 in spacers, and flange nuts for the roller assemblies
• Hinges (20) · 5/8 in hinge screws — four hinges at each of the five fold points, with three of the four used on panels 7 ft tall or under
• Sidewall pivot assembly (1) — wall-mounted, at the fixed end
• Door bottom plate (1) · aviation nut (1) · 3/4 in steel washer (1)
• Track stops (2) · rubber bumper band (1) · clear bumper pads · felt strips
• Hex lag bolts, nylon fender washers, and wood screws for track mounting — quantity scales with your track length
• 1 in spacers and 1/2 in spacers for the track standoff
• 1-3/4 in carriage bolts (2) · keps nuts (2) — for the pull handle
• 4 in pull handle (1), for the outermost panel

The fixed hanger goes on the pivot-side panel, which attaches to the wall-mounted pivot. The three loose hangers travel freely along the track as the panels fold. The outermost panel carries the pull handle and is the one you grip to open and close.

Trim clearance spacers are included. One 1 in spacer per lag bolt sets the baseline standoff; adding the 1/2 in spacers clears casing, base, or other trim projecting up to 1/2 in. Nothing extra to select.

Fastener finish: clear zinc with Raw Steel, Silver Metallic, and PC Chrome; black oxide with Matte Black Texture, Bronze Texture, Black, and Arch Bronze; powder coated to match on the remaining ten colors — Jacob's Gold, Rustic Brown, Regal Red, Rocket White, Blue Ribbon, Flint Gray Texture, Dark Gray Texture, White Bronze Texture, Silver Vein, and Copper Vein. Because the hangers mount to the top edge, none of it lands on the panel faces. The lag bolts securing the track to the wall do sit on the track face and are visible after install, so on the seven finishes that don't ship matched, the touch-up paint option lets you paint them.

A latch and flush pull are not included — add them before ordering to avoid a second shipment. Soft close is not compatible with bifold hardware.

This kit includes one 4 in pull handle and trim clearance spacers for trim up to 1/2 in. A latch and flush pull are not included:

• Latch: Keeps the door closed deliberately — browse our latches collection
• Flush pull: For the wall-facing side if the door is operated from both sides — browse our flush pulls collection
• Touch-up paint: For painting the visible track bolt heads on finishes that don't ship matched — select it in the options above

6-door one-way sizing is based on total panel width — all six panels combined — not the rough opening. The track length you select equals your total panel width. For a full walkthrough of all six configurations see our bifold measuring guide.

Minimum coverage (doors close over the opening with a small overlap on each side):

Total panel width = opening + 3 in · Each panel = (opening + 3 in) ÷ 6

Example: 100 in opening → total = 103 in → each panel = 17.17 in, round up to 17.5 in

Fully clear, symmetrical (recommended — the panels extend equally past both sides of the opening, so the closed doors look centered):

Total panel width = opening + 30 in · Each panel = (opening + 30 in) ÷ 6

Example: 100 in opening → total = 130 in → each panel = 21.67 in, round up to 22 in

The +30 in constant is the stack depth doubled: 15 in of folded panels on the stack side, matched on the other side so the closed doors sit centered over the opening. It scales with panel count rather than opening size — a 2-door needs +10 in, a 4-door +20 in.

The track lengths listed in the options above are stock sizes, 72 in through 144 in. They ship as ordered and return under the standard 25-day window. Note that 144 in of track is six 24 in panels, which is this kit's maximum panel width — if your calculation runs past 144 in total, you're into heavy duty bifold rather than a longer track. Lengths over 7 ft 6 in ship in multiple sections with joining plates included, and your header board needs to run continuously across the joint.

For a length outside those options, email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com — priced the same as the next standard size, but a track cut to order is a custom order and can't be returned, so confirm your measurement first.

Goldberg Brothers hardware uses sealed bearings that run dry. Do not lubricate the track or rollers. Silicone spray, WD-40, and white lithium grease all attract dust, build up in the channel, and make the doors harder to fold, not easier. If the panels start to drag or squeak, the cause is almost always debris in the track or a pivot that needs adjusting — wipe the track channel with a dry cloth and check that the hardware is still tight. On a six-panel stack, also check the hinge screws at all five fold points, since folding puts repeated load on them.
