Assembly Instructions
The FREDBECK barn door requires simple assembly. Follow these steps carefully.
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unpack all components and inspect for any damage or missing parts. Refer to the "Package Contents" section.
- Assemble Door Panels: The spruce wood panels are mitered for a snug fit. Arrange the panels according to the K-Frame design. Secure them using the provided screws and pre-drilled holes. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Attach Handle: Install the pull handle to the desired side of the door using the provided hardware.
- Install Hangers: Attach the hangers to the top edge of the assembled door slab. Ensure they are securely fastened and properly aligned.
- Mount Track:
- Determine the mounting height for the track. The track should be mounted above the door opening, allowing sufficient clearance for the door to slide.
- Locate wall studs. It is crucial to mount the track into wall studs for stability. If studs do not align, a sturdy header board (minimum 1x6 inch, not included) must be installed across the door opening and securely fastened to studs, then the track mounted to the header board.
- Drill pilot holes for the track mounting screws.
- Attach the track sections to the wall using the spacers and mounting hardware. Ensure the track is level and securely fastened.
- Hang Door: With assistance, carefully lift the assembled door and hook the hangers onto the track.
- Install Floor Guide: Position the floor guide in the pre-made groove at the bottom of the door. Secure it to the floor to prevent the door from swinging out.
- Adjust and Test: Slide the door back and forth to ensure smooth operation. Adjust the track stoppers to prevent the door from sliding too far.

Operating Instructions
To operate your FREDBECK barn door:
- Grasp the pull handle firmly.
- Gently slide the door along the track to open or close it. The door is designed to slide smoothly and quietly.
- Ensure the door comes to a complete stop against the track stoppers at the end of its travel.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your barn door.
- Cleaning: Wipe the door and hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the wood finish or hardware.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts on the hangers, track, and handle to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Track and Rollers: Keep the track free of dust and debris. The rollers should move freely. If the door becomes difficult to slide, clean the track and rollers.
- Floor Guide: Regularly clean the floor guide to prevent accumulation of lint, hair, or other debris, which can impede smooth sliding.
Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Door does not slide smoothly or makes noise. | Debris in track, loose hardware, misaligned track, dirty floor guide. | Clean the track and rollers. Tighten all hardware. Ensure the track is level. Clean the floor guide. |
