Setup and Installation
The JUBEST Bypass Glass Barn Door is designed for easy assembly. Each door panel is divided into three parts for simplified handling. Follow these steps for proper installation.
1. Pre-Installation Checks
- Wall Clearance: Ensure there is at least 10 inches of clearance above the top of the door opening for track installation.
- Door Opening: The maximum recommended door opening for this 84x84 inch system is 76 1/8 inches.
- Fixed Distance (Wall to Door): A fixed distance of approximately 3/8 inch to 1 3/64 inches is maintained between the door and the wall.
- Fixed Distance (Wall's Holes to Floor): The recommended height for drilling wall holes from the floor is 85 11/16 inches.

2. Track Installation
- Locate the studs in your wall above the door opening. Mark the positions for the track mounting brackets.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, ensuring they are level and at the correct height (85 11/16 inches from the floor).
- Attach the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws and anchors.
- Assemble the two 7FT rails if necessary, then mount the complete track onto the installed brackets. Ensure it is secure and level.

3. Door Panel Assembly
Each 42x84 inch glass door panel comes in three parts. Assemble them according to the separate door assembly instructions provided in your package. Ensure all connections are tight and the glass is securely framed.
4. Hanging the Doors
- Attach the roller hangers to the top of each assembled door panel.
- With assistance, carefully lift and hang the door panels onto the track rollers. Ensure the rollers are properly seated in the track.
- Install the anti-jump blocks on top of the doors to prevent them from lifting off the track.
- Install the soft-close mechanisms at the ends of the track, adjusting them to ensure smooth and controlled closing of the doors.
- Install the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening to keep the doors aligned and prevent swaying.
- Adjust the stoppers on the track to define the open and closed positions of the doors.

Operating Instructions
Your JUBEST Bypass Glass Barn Door is designed for smooth and quiet operation. To open or close the doors, gently push or pull the door panel along the track. The integrated soft-close mechanisms will engage near the end of the travel, slowing the door down for a quiet and controlled stop. Due to the bypass design, one door panel will slide in front of the other, allowing access to the opening.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your barn door system.
- Cleaning Glass: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner to clean the tempered glass panels. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the glass or frame.
- Cleaning Hardware: Wipe down the carbon steel frame and track with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the roller hangers for smooth movement. If any squeaking or resistance is noticed, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the roller bearings. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Hardware Check: Annually inspect all screws, bolts, and mounting hardware to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Check the soft-close mechanisms for proper function.
- Floor Guides: Keep the floor guides free of debris to ensure smooth door movement.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door is difficult to slide or makes noise. | Dust/debris in track, rollers need lubrication, misaligned track. | Clean track, lubricate rollers with silicone spray, check track alignment and re-level if necessary. |
| Door does not close softly. | Soft-close mechanism misaligned or damaged. | Adjust the position of the soft-close mechanism on the track. If damaged, contact customer service for replacement. |
| Door sways at the bottom. | Floor guide not installed or improperly adjusted. | Ensure floor guides are installed and properly positioned to engage the door panels. |
| Door comes off the track. | Anti-jump blocks not installed or loose. | Install or tighten anti-jump blocks on top of the door panels. |
