Setup and Installation
Carefully follow these steps for proper assembly and installation. It is recommended that two people perform the installation.
- Prepare Door Panels: Assemble the individual door panels according to the provided diagrams. Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Pay attention to the orientation of components as indicated in the instructions.
- Install Glass Panels: Carefully insert the frosted glass panels into the designated slots within the door frame. Secure them using the anti-collision bars and screws as shown in the diagrams. Ensure the screws and nuts are turned in opposite directions simultaneously for a secure fit.
- Assemble Door Slab: Connect the assembled door panels and glass sections to form the complete door slab.
- Install Rollers: Attach the J-shape rollers to the top edge of the door slab.
- Install Handle: Mount the two-sided handle to the door slab at the desired height.
- Mount Track: Securely mount the 6.6ft sliding track above the door opening. Ensure there is at least 5-1/8 inches of clearance above the door. If installing on drywall, consider adding a wooden header board for increased stability.
- Hang Door: Carefully lift and hang the assembled door slab onto the track rollers.
- Install Floor Guide: Position and install the T-shape floor guide to prevent the door from swinging out.

Operating Instructions
To operate your Fredbeck barn door, simply grasp the handle and slide the door along the track. The rollers are designed for smooth and quiet operation. Ensure the floor guide is properly installed to maintain door stability during opening and closing.
- Opening: Gently pull the door along the track until it reaches the desired open position.
- Closing: Push the door along the track until it fully covers the doorway.
- Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance. Check for obstructions or alignment issues if movement is not smooth.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your barn door.
- Cleaning the Door Surface: The PVC-coated door surface is waterproof and scratch-resistant. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Glass Panels: Use standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth for the frosted tempered glass panels.
- Track and Rollers: Periodically inspect the sliding track and rollers for any debris or dust. Clean the track with a dry cloth. If rollers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the roller bearings (avoid applying to the track surface itself).
- Hardware Inspection: Annually check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Retighten if necessary to ensure the door remains secure.
