Door Preparation and Dimensions
Before installing the hardware, ensure your door meets the specified dimensions and has the necessary grooves. An L-groove must be cut into the top of the door, and a U-channel for the bottom track.

Installation Steps
- Step 1: Cut Top Track to Length
Cut the top track to the required length (Door Width - 20mm). Loosen the soft close screws and place both soft close mechanisms on both ends of the top track.

- Step 2: Fasten Top Track onto Door Slot
Securely fasten the prepared top track into the L-shaped slot on the top edge of your door panel using the provided screws.

- Step 3: Tighten Soft Close Screws
Ensure the soft close mechanisms are flush and even with either end of the track, then tighten their respective screws to secure them in place.

- Step 4: Install Bottom Rollers
Remove the wheel part from the bottom roller body. Fasten the bottom roller body into the U-channel slot on the bottom of the door. Reinsert the wheel part back into the body.

- Step 5: Cut Bottom Track to Length
Cut the bottom track to the required length (Door Width - 130mm). Insert the cut bottom track inside the bottom slot of the door.

- Step 6: Mount Hanger onto the Wall
Remove the anti-jump block from the hanger. Mark and drill holes on the wall according to the provided measurements (DH-1 7/32" (31mm) from the top of the door opening, and 5/32" (4mm) from the wall edge). Securely mount the hanger onto the wall using the appropriate fasteners.

- Step 7: Mount Floor Guide
Position the floor guide on the floor, ensuring it aligns with the door's path. Mark and drill holes, then securely fasten the floor guide to the floor.

- Step 8: Hang Door Panel
Carefully put the floor guide inside the bottom slot of the door. Then, hang the door panel onto the hanger, ensuring the hanger is positioned in the middle of the top track. Rotate the screw to adjust the height of the wheel for complete rail fitting. Finally, tighten the anti-jump block screws.

- Step 9: Test Soft Close Actuator
Move the door both left and right to ensure the actuator is correctly positioned between the fins of the soft close mechanism. This confirms proper engagement for smooth operation.

- Step 10: Adjust Door Parallelism
If the door panel is not parallel with the wall, first loosen both screws on the hanger. Hold the door parallel with the wall by hand, then tighten both screws to secure the adjustment. This ensures smooth and aligned sliding.

Operating Instructions
Your JUBEST Concealed Barn Door Hardware Kit is designed for smooth and quiet operation. The soft-close mechanisms ensure the door gently slows down and closes without slamming.
- To open the door, gently push or pull the door panel. The rollers will glide along the top track.
- As the door approaches its fully open or fully closed position, the soft-close mechanism will engage, slowing the door's movement for a quiet and controlled stop.
- Avoid forcing the door or attempting to override the soft-close mechanism, as this may cause damage.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your hardware kit.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the tracks and rollers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: If the door's movement becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and inside the tracks. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Hardware Check: Annually inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten any loose components.
- Roller Inspection: Check the rollers for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not slide smoothly. | Dirt or debris in tracks; lack of lubrication; misaligned door. | Clean tracks, lubricate rollers, check door parallelism (refer to Step 10). |
| Soft-close mechanism not engaging. | Actuator not correctly positioned; mechanism damaged. | Verify actuator position (refer to Step 9), ensure soft close screws are tight (refer to Step 3). |
| Door is wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners; improper wall mounting; door not parallel. | Check and tighten all fasteners, ensure hanger is securely mounted, adjust door parallelism (refer to Step 10). |
| Door scrapes against the floor. | Incorrect door height adjustment. | Adjust the height of the top roller wheel (refer to Step 8). |
