5.2 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Mark and Drill Holes:
   Measure and mark the desired height for the track. The track should be installed at a height that allows the door to clear the floor by approximately 10-15mm. Mark the positions for drilling holes for the wall spacers and lag bolts. Ensure these marks are level. Drill pilot holes according to the recommended drill bit size for your wall type.
2. Install the Track:
   Attach the wall spacers to the wall using the lag bolts, ensuring they are firmly secured. Then, mount the carbon steel track onto the wall spacers. For double door systems, ensure the two track sections are perfectly aligned and connected securely.
3. Attach Hangers to Door:
   Position the J-shaped hangers on the top edge of your barn doors. Mark and drill holes for the hanger bolts. Securely fasten the hangers to the top of each door using the provided bolts, nuts, and washers. Ensure the hangers are evenly spaced and aligned.

4. Install Anti-Jump Discs:
   Attach the anti-jump discs to the top edge of your doors, above the hangers. These discs prevent the door from lifting off the track during operation. Ensure they are positioned correctly to engage with the track.
5. Install Floor Guides:
   With the doors hanging on the track, position the floor guides at the bottom of the door opening. Mark their positions on the floor. Remove the doors, drill pilot holes, and secure the floor guides to the floor. These guides maintain the door's balance and prevent it from swinging.
6. Install Door Stoppers:
   Slide the door stoppers onto the track at both ends. Adjust their positions to control the opening and closing limits of your doors. Tighten the set screws on the door stoppers to fix them in place.

The door stoppers can be adjusted to limit the travel of the doors, preventing them from hitting the wall or each other. The floor guides ensure the doors remain stable and do not swing out of alignment.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your sliding barn door system.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the track and hangers periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the wheels of the hangers and the top of the track every 6-12 months to maintain smooth operation.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws for tightness. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to ensure safety and stability.
• Inspect Components: Examine the track, hangers, and stoppers for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
