The 1925 Workbench single track barn door hardware kit accommodates any door thickness. However, if your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, you'll need to install a header board for proper clearance.

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: 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 1-1/2 inches in width.

Tracks 8 feet 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 1925 Workbench 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 brass hardware can be used outdoors, it's important to note that it may develop a patina over time.

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. This method allows you to customize the fit of your barn door to your specific needs and preferences.

Yes, you can extend your existing barn door track. We offer additional track sections with mounting hardware that can be seamlessly connected to your current track, allowing you to customize the length to fit your needs. Email Evan at evan@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com for more information.

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

A barn door floor guide is a crucial component of any barn door hardware system. This bracket, floor-mounted included in our barn door hardware kits, ensures that the door remains aligned with the track above, preventing it from swinging towards or away from the wall.

Types of Floor Guides:

• Floor-Mounted Door Guide: Our floor-mounted door guide is the most popular type and is included in all our kits. It's installed on the floor near the door frame.
• Wall-Mounted Door Guide: If you prefer to avoid drilling into your floors, a wall-mounted guide can be used. It attaches to the baseboard or wall at the bottom edge of the doorway opening.

Benefits of Using a Floor Guide:

• Smooth Operation: Prevents the door from swinging, ensuring a smooth and quiet sliding motion.
• Durability: Made from high-quality materials to withstand daily use.
• Easy Installation: Includes all necessary hardware and clear instructions.
