Operating Instructions

Your BARNSMITH Concealed Sliding Barn Door is designed for smooth and quiet operation. The integrated soft-close mechanisms ensure the door closes gently without slamming.

• To open or close the door, gently push or pull the handle in the desired direction.
• The soft-close feature will engage as the door approaches its open or closed position, slowing its movement for a quiet stop.
• Avoid forcing the door or attempting to override the soft-close mechanism, as this may cause damage.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the door panel and hardware with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Track Inspection: Periodically check the top track and bottom guide for any debris or obstructions. Clean as necessary to ensure smooth sliding.
• Hardware Check: Every few months, inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if loose.
• Roller Lubrication: If the door's movement becomes less smooth over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the rollers. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
