- Attach the rollers to the top of the assembled door panel.
- Hang the door onto the track and install the floor guide to prevent the door from swinging out.

5. Operating Instructions
To operate your BARNSMITH Glass Barn Door, simply grasp the door handle (if installed) or the edge of the door panel and slide it along the track. The rollers are designed for smooth and quiet movement. Ensure the floor guide is properly positioned to maintain stability.
- Opening: Gently push the door in the desired direction until it reaches the open stopper.
- Closing: Gently pull the door until it reaches the closed stopper, ensuring it aligns with the door frame or wall.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your barn door.
6.1 Cleaning
- Glass Panels: Clean frosted glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the frosted finish.
- Aluminum Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry immediately with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
- Hardware: Clean the track and rollers periodically to remove dust and debris that could impede smooth operation.
6.2 Lubrication
Occasionally, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the track and roller wheels to maintain smooth and quiet sliding action. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
6.3 Inspection
Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the floor guide for any wear or damage.
