Before You Begin:
- Ensure your door panel width is 54 inches and thickness is between 1 3/8" and 1 3/4".
- Verify that your wall studs are 16 inches on center for proper rail mounting.
- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, pencil, drill, level, wrench, screwdriver.
- Consider installing a sturdy header board if your wall studs do not align with the track holes, especially for heavy doors. This ensures maximum safety and stability.

Installation Steps:
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired height for your track. Mark the drilling points for the rail spacers on your wall, ensuring they align with wall studs.
- Install Rail Spacers: Drill pilot holes and attach the rail spacers securely to the wall.
- Mount the Rail: Attach the two 4.5 FT rail sections to the installed spacers, ensuring they are level and securely fastened.
- Attach Rollers to Door: Secure the I-shape hangers (rollers) to the top edge of your barn door panel. Ensure they are properly aligned and tightened.
- Install Door Stops and End Caps: Slide the door stops onto the rail and position them to prevent the door from sliding too far. Install the end caps on both ends of the rail for a finished look and to prevent rollers from coming off.
- Install Floor Guide: Position and secure the floor guide at the bottom of the door opening to keep the door stable and prevent it from swinging out.
- Hang the Door: Carefully lift the door panel and hook the rollers onto the mounted rail.
- Adjust and Test: Adjust the door stops for desired travel distance. Test the door's movement to ensure it slides smoothly and quietly.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your barn door hardware kit.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the rail and hardware components periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: The nylon rollers are designed for smooth operation and typically do not require lubrication. However, if you notice any squeaking or stiffness over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the roller bearings.
- Tightness Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts, especially those securing the rail to the wall and the hangers to the door, to ensure they remain tight. Loose fasteners can affect performance and safety.
- Floor Guide: Keep the floor guide clean and free of debris to ensure the door slides without obstruction.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your barn door hardware, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not slide smoothly. | Dirt or debris on the track; loose rollers; damaged rollers. | Clean the track. Check and tighten roller bolts. Inspect rollers for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Squeaking noise during operation. | Lack of lubrication on rollers; friction between components. | Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the roller bearings. Ensure all components are properly aligned. |
| Door stops are not holding securely. | Set screws are loose; improper positioning. | Tighten the set screws on the door stops. Ensure they are positioned correctly to prevent over-travel. For added security, consider adding a small screw directly into the track near the stop. |
| Door lifts off the track. | Anti-jump discs not installed or improperly adjusted; track not level. | Ensure anti-jump discs are installed on top of the door and positioned correctly to prevent the rollers from lifting off the track. Verify the track is perfectly level. |
| Door swings out at the bottom. | Floor guide not installed or improperly positioned. | Install or adjust the floor guide to properly engage the bottom of the door panel, keeping it stable. |
