Setup and Installation
1. Pre-Installation Planning and Measurements
Before beginning, carefully measure your door opening and wall space. Ensure there is sufficient clearance above the door opening for the track and rollers. A header board is often recommended for secure installation, especially if wall studs do not align with track mounting points.

2. Door Panel Assembly
The spruce wood door panel requires assembly. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the included assembly guide for connecting the individual wood planks and crossbeams. Ensure all connections are secure and flush.
3. Finishing the Door (Optional but Recommended)
As the door is unfinished, you have the option to stain or paint it to your desired aesthetic. This step should ideally be completed before hanging the door. Refer to the image below for examples of stained finishes.

4. Track Installation
- Mark the desired height for the track on the wall, ensuring it is level. Use a level to draw a straight line.
- Locate wall studs and mark their positions. If studs do not align with track mounting holes, install a sturdy header board (not included) across the opening, securely fastened to studs.
- Drill pilot holes for the track mounting bolts.
- Attach the track securely to the wall or header board using the provided fasteners. Ensure the track is perfectly level and firmly mounted.
5. Hanger and Roller Installation
Attach the hangers and rollers to the top edge of the assembled barn door panel according to the specific instructions in your hardware kit. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely tightened.
6. Hanging the Door
With assistance, carefully lift the door panel and hook the rollers onto the installed track. Slide the door gently to ensure smooth movement.
7. Install Floor Guides and Stoppers
Install the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening to prevent the door from swinging out. Adjust them to allow for smooth sliding while keeping the door stable. Install the track stoppers at the ends of the track to prevent the door from sliding off.

Operating Instructions
To open or close the barn door, grasp the handle and gently slide the door along the track. The premium nylon rollers are designed for smooth and quiet operation. To secure the door, engage the latch lock as needed.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the door and hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish or hardware.
- Wood Care: If the door is stained or painted, periodically inspect the finish for wear and reapply as needed to protect the wood. For unfinished wood, consider applying a protective sealant to prevent moisture absorption.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts on the track, hangers, and handle to ensure they remain tight. Lubricate rollers and track with a silicone-based lubricant if movement becomes stiff or noisy.
- Floor Guides: Ensure floor guides are free of debris and properly adjusted to prevent the door from rubbing or catching.
Troubleshooting
- Door not sliding smoothly: Check the track for obstructions or debris. Ensure the track is level and all mounting bolts are tight. Lubricate the rollers and track. Verify floor guides are not too tight.
- Door rubbing against the wall or floor: Adjust the floor guides. Ensure the door hangers are correctly installed and the door is hanging plumb.
- Loud operation: Lubricate the rollers and track. Check for any loose hardware that might be causing rattling.
- Door warping or cracking: This can occur if the door was not finished promptly after unpacking or if exposed to extreme humidity changes. Ensure proper finishing and maintain stable indoor humidity.
