1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your JUBEST Bypass Glass Barn Door, Model TKM09. Please read this guide thoroughly before beginning installation or use to ensure proper function and safety. This product features two 36x84 inch reeded glass door panels, a 6-foot double hardware kit, and soft-close mechanisms, designed for a bypass sliding door system.
2. Safety Information
Always prioritize safety during installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product or property.
- Heavy Product: The door panels and hardware are heavy. Always use appropriate lifting techniques and seek assistance from another person during installation.
- Secure Mounting: Ensure the mounting surface (wall) is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the door and hardware. Reinforcement may be required.
- Tools: Use proper tools for installation and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
- Glass Handling: Handle glass panels with care to prevent breakage. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces if broken, but sharp edges may still occur.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- Clearance: Verify all necessary clearances before installation to prevent obstruction or damage.

4. Setup and Installation
The JUBEST Bypass Glass Barn Door is designed for straightforward installation, with each door panel divided into three parts for easier assembly. A minimum of 10 inches of clearance is required above the top of the door opening for track installation.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Confirm wall structure can support the door weight (approximately 180 lbs for the entire system).
- Measure the door opening to ensure it is suitable for a 72-inch wide bypass system. The maximum door opening width supported is 64 1/8 inches.
- Ensure you have all tools required: drill, level, measuring tape, pencil, screwdriver, and a stud finder.
4.2 Track Installation
The track length for this system is 6 feet. The fixed distance from the wall's holes to the floor should be 85 11/16 inches. The fixed distance from the door to the wall, once installed, will be approximately 1 37/64 inches.
- Locate and mark stud positions on the wall above the door opening.
- Align the track rails and mark the drilling points according to the provided template (if included) and the specified fixed distances.
- Drill pilot holes and install the wall hangers/brackets securely into the studs. Use appropriate anchors for non-stud locations if necessary.
- Attach the track rails to the installed hangers, ensuring they are level and securely fastened.
4.3 Door Panel Assembly and Hanging
- Assemble each 36x84 inch door panel. The panels are typically divided into three sections for easier handling. Follow the specific assembly instructions provided with your hardware kit for connecting these sections.
- Attach the roller hangers to the top edge of each assembled door panel. Ensure they are securely fastened and aligned.
- Carefully lift and hang the door panels onto the track rollers.
- Install the anti-jump blocks on top of the door panels to prevent them from lifting off the track.
- Install the soft-close mechanisms at the desired positions on the track to ensure smooth and controlled closing.
- Install the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening to keep the doors aligned and prevent swinging.
- Adjust the stoppers on the track to define the open and closed positions of the doors.
5. Operating Instructions
Your JUBEST Bypass Glass Barn Door is designed for smooth and quiet operation. The soft-close feature ensures a gentle and controlled closing motion.
- Opening: Gently push the door panel along the track until it reaches the desired open position, or until it meets the stopper.
- Closing: Gently pull the door panel along the track. As it approaches the closed position, the soft-close mechanism will engage, slowing the door down for a quiet and controlled close.
- Bypass Function: The two door panels operate independently on parallel tracks, allowing one door to slide in front of the other to access different sections of the opening.
6. 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 reeded glass panels. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the glass or frame finish.
- Cleaning Hardware: Wipe down the carbon steel frame and track with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the rollers and track for smooth operation. If any friction or noise occurs, a silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the track and roller bearings. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.
- Hardware Check: Annually inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following table for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door is difficult to slide or makes noise. | Dirt or debris on track; rollers need lubrication; misaligned track. | Clean the track thoroughly. Apply silicone lubricant to rollers and track. Check track alignment with a level and adjust if necessary. |
