This door is very nice and looks amazing considering it’s relatively inexpensive. I originally wanted to knock off a star because even though I thought I’d read the description carefully and looked through the description photos and the all of the reviews I *still* managed to be surprised when the very narrow box arrived full of pieces I needed to assemble. I somehow thought that the word DIY and everyone saying it was easy to put together meant that assembling and hanging the hardware was easy. But that was totally on me because after going back and reading again, it’s clear that you must put the entire door together. Once I got over my surprise I quickly got to work. I did end up sanding the edges a bit before assembly but overall it’s all cut and routed very nicely. The instructions are clear and after I laid everything out on the floor, it all slid together easily and screwed together without any issues. I did need to do a final sand with a block and caulk a few seams before priming and painting, but that’s not unexpected. Don’t hesitate to buy this door. The quality is as high or higher than buying one at a big box hardware store and the price is excellent. It took me about 45 minutes to put this together but now that I know what to do, it would probably take only 15 minutes. Since it was just me putting it together, I found that having something to prop it up on as you are sliding the boards into the side piece really helped. I used a heavy chair. I’m handy enough but I don’t usually do stuff like this, so if I can do it, anyone can! I haven’t hung the rail yet, but it looks good and is as heavy as other barn door rails I’ve installed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So the hardware is great and the company even better. Reach out to them and they help you get exactly what you need. Here were my conundrums during installation: First, I needed to use one of the hollow wall fasteners. It wasn't load baring but it was to keep the track from flopping around on the end. The hollow wall fasteners sent are for standard drywall. I was too cheap to buy standard drywall when I built the room so the fastener didn't work. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was back in business. All that to say, if you used thinner drywall, you will need different fasteners than those provided. Next, and most importantly, the placement of the inner brackets on the doors. The pictures all show the brackets on the edges of the door. It looks amazing! However, if you actually place them there, the doors won't shut. The wheels stick out beyond the brackets and won't allow them to close. Don't make this mistake because drilling new holes aren't really an option. Pay attention to the wheels. I ended up correcting this mistake by purchasing HVAC pipe insulation tubes and putting those as buffers on the doors. Looks a little weird but not too bad. It did have a nice secondary affect in protecting the walls since I have an intentional 3" gap to the floor for airflow into the room. Finally, the directions are quirky and a bit difficult to follow at first. Just know that if it has two measurements, the second one is from the first measurement, not the starting point. Otherwise, great! Very smooth roll.

Nice heavy quality hardware. the color is good and holding well. Thanks

Overall, a really high quality product that I am happy with and would buy again. That said, I bought the one piece 72" hardware kit as I had two doors that were 18" wide each. The hardware is pretty bulky and heavy for doors of that size. You need to PAY ATTENTION to the installation sequence. I did not put the stops on before mounting the track, and ended up having to remove one mounting bolt at a time to slide the stops on. Then, after they were on, I discovered the stops themselves were too wide for where the roller 'straps' were mounted on my doors. As a result, the doors would not fully close. Even with the center 'close' stops butted against each other, the rollers would hit the stop before the doors were fully closed. I removed them (had to remove the mounting bolts one at a time again) and got creative. Drilled a hole in the track and used one of the extra spacers provided as a center stop. See photos. Again, overall a good price on a good quality product. Some details in the install notes regarding the need for a minimum spacing between the center rollers would have saved me a LOT of work.

This Barn Door rail as shown in my picture installed with very few issues. The Rail and parts are of very high quality. Installation Instructions were well written. Issue # 1 - Box was slightly damaged when received, but there were no damaged parts. The only issue was I was missing one bolt, washer, nut for the plate that joins my 2 - 6 ft. pieces. Call to the vendor - I had replacement parts in 2 days. Issue # 2 - I did not want to use a support board behind the rail, because I had put extra studding support behind the wall specifically for a future Barn Door Rail. Call to the vendor - they sent me a complete set of longer spacers, also received within a few days at NO charge. I changed my mind afterword and decided to put a support board in place anyway to give the rail more support - highly recommended. Issue # 3 - I could not figure out the best method for installing the Floor Guides without having to temporarily removing a bolt. Question into Vendor - I received an answer within 24 hours which provided the best procedure to follow - eliminating the need to remove any bolts. Bottom Line, Product Support is equally as important as Product Quality. I am giving the Product / Vendor a 5 Rating because both criteria was met very successfully.

Hat alles bestens geklappt und war sehr einfach zusammen zu bauen. Funktioniert perfekt. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Good, solid and reasonably priced

We ordered this product in April and it arrived a few weeks later. When we were getting ready to install (June) we were saddened to see one of the rails (the 15ft track has 4 rails) wasn't in the package. We hadn't opened the box sooner unfortunately, so we were passed the date where a refund/exchange was automatic. We contacted the seller, because what we really wanted was just the missing rail to be sent out - and we needed that rather quickly because we were installing in a few days - however that wasn't possible, nor would it have been possible to a new kit sent in the time frame we needed. So even though it was past the refund date - the seller did refund our money. The seller was polite and courteous and worked with us to find a solution. What I can say about the product is that I would order again (and wish I could). It is a solid product and components look to be very sturdy and made well. The instructions were clear (because we could easily identify which part of the rail we were missing) and would have been easy to follow (although I did hire someone to install because of the height/weight of my doors). After sales service was excellent and a resolution to our situation was found very quickly. Communication was prompt, polite and I'm happy the seller was agreeable to a refund even though they were not required to. I think we would have been very happy with this product, but I simply didn't have the time to get a new one shipped.

great product and will work as desired

Excellent quality hardware kit. Installation instructions are pretty decent for anyone that is a little bit handy. The single 1 piece track makes this very stable and easy to install. The only complaint I have, is the bolts used to mount the hangers to the door, are too long for a 1 3/8” door, which the specifications say the kit will work for. Yes, it does, but, you will have to cut the length of the bolts shorter for this to work. Cutting bolts and preserving the threads may be tricky for some people without the proper tools. Fortunately, I have everything I needed. They could supply some shorter bolts, or maybe some spacers for the back side, which might make it work without cutting the bolts. however, a person would have to check for interference on any trim around the door opening. Perhaps the spacer could go on the front side without looking horrible as well. *note, the door handle in this picture, is not included in the kit, this was a separate purchase.
