Assembly Steps

Assemble Door Panels: The wood panels are mitered for a snug fit. Align and connect the individual spruce wood planks to form the door slab. Utilize the pre-drilled screw holes and provided screws to secure the panels.
Install Door Hardware:
- Attach the hangers to the top edge of each door panel using the provided screws.
- Install the pull handles onto the door panels at a comfortable height.
Mount Track Kit:
- Determine the correct height for the track above your door opening. Ensure it is level.
- Mount the two 7FT track sections above the door opening, connecting them to form a 14FT track. Use the spacers to ensure proper clearance from the wall.
- Secure the track firmly to wall studs or a header board for stability.
Hang Doors: Carefully lift each assembled door panel and hook the hangers onto the mounted track.
Install Floor Guides: The bottom of each door has a pre-made groove. Install the two floor guides on the floor directly below the track to prevent the doors from swinging out. Adjust for smooth sliding.

Operating Instructions

Operating your FREDBECK barn doors is simple. These doors are designed for smooth, quiet sliding action.

Opening and Closing the Doors

To open the door, grasp the pull handle and gently slide the door along the track until it reaches the desired open position.
To close the door, pull the handle to slide the door back along the track until it covers the opening.
Ensure the floor guides keep the bottom of the door aligned during movement.

Avoid forcing the doors if they encounter resistance. Check the track for obstructions or misalignment if movement is not smooth.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and continued beauty of your FREDBECK spruce wood barn doors.

Wood Care

Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the wood finish.
Addressing Residue: If a powdery residue is observed (as noted in some user feedback), gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth. If persistent, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying.
Protection: While spruce wood is durable, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity changes, which can affect the wood over time.
Painting: The doors can be painted to suit your decor. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying wood-compatible paint or stain.

Hardware Maintenance

Track and Rollers: Periodically inspect the sliding track and hanger rollers for any debris or obstructions. Clean as needed.
Lubrication: If the doors begin to stick or make noise, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the track and roller bearings. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.
Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners on the hangers, track, and handles to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
