Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your sliding barn door hardware kit. It is recommended to have two people for certain steps.

Step 1: Prepare the Wall and Track

1. Measure and mark the desired height for the track on your wall. Ensure it is level.

4. Attach the two 3.3ft rails together to form the 6.6ft track.
5. Mount the track to the wall using the wall hangers and appropriate screws, ensuring it is securely fastened and level.

Step 4: Install Door Stops

• Position the door stops at the desired end points of the track to prevent the door from sliding off.
• Tighten the door stops securely.

• Mark the mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure the floor guide to the floor.

Operating Instructions

Your EaseLife sliding barn door is designed for smooth and quiet operation. To open or close the door, gently push or pull the handle along the track. Avoid forcing the door, as this can cause damage to the hardware or the door itself.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the track and rollers periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: If the door's movement becomes less smooth over time, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the roller bearings and the top of the track. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Floor Guide: Ensure the floor guide remains free of obstructions and is securely fastened.
