2PCS Barn Door Soft Close Mechanism Spring Buffer Damper Upgraded Hole-Free Version Sliding Barn Door Hardware for Door Weight 70-160 Pounds Adjustable Door Stoppers, Actuator Spacers Included

The media could not be loaded. I've had a large custom barn door installed in my bedroom for almost 5 years. The door measures 100" tall and 48" wide and is made of solid wood. The door separates our bathroom from our bedroom, and my wife and I use it almost daily. My wife rarely opened the door all the way, since she didn't like to hear it "clunk" against the stopper when fully opened. Therefore, the door would always stick out into the opening about 3 to 4 inches and it was a pet peeve for me! I constantly would push the thing all the way open and it was just an unspoken internal battle amongst ourselves (after 28 years, you learn to not actually mention meaningless things anymore). Anyway, when I found this soft close mechanism at a reasonable price that looked extremely easy to install...I had to give it a shot. Wow, wow, wow! Super easy to install and works EXACTLY as advertised (even on my extremely large barn door). I honestly don't know how much my door weighs, but this thing has no issues whatsoever...even when pushing it open relatively quickly. I've attached a video for reference of it in action. I initially installed both sides of the mechanism (opening and closing). However, last night (the 1st night it was installed) my wife went to bed about 30 minutes before me. When I was ready for bed, I turned off the bathroom lights and always try to open the door quietly, as to try and not wake her up unnecessarily. The soft close mechanism does such a good job of keeping the door closed, I had to use a fair amount of force to get the door to begin to open. This made a decent amount of noise (in the middle of the night) and woke up my wife. Once I pushed the door open, the opening side of the mechanism kicked in and gently pulled the door completely open without any excessive noise. So, I think for my setup, I'm going to remove the actuator on the "closing" side of the door so that we can quietly open the door in the night without using any excessive force. For me, I'm most happy about the door always staying fully open. When closing the door at night, it's not an issue if it makes a little bit of noise (since no one is asleep yet). For the simplicity of the install, the functionality of the product, the extremely reasonable price & helping to eliminate a small pet peeve I have...it's ABSOLUTELY 5 stars for me!! Hope this review helps!

So nice having soft close doors now. Directions are a little weird but one you get it done you'll be happy. Fit was great and quality was high.

It’s the exact as the original part

The media could not be loaded. Overall, good product. The soft-close rails work very well. Quiet, and not difficult to pull the door from one side to the other. Mounted on the backside of the door rail, the soft close rails are almost completely hidden.Here are the reasons I could not give it five stars:The instructions are horrible. There is no website or QR code to see a video for assistance. The video on the listing on Amazon helps slightly. Utube videos are better, but different products that are nearly the same.I mounted the actuator plates flush with the front of the door. This placed the actuator towards the back half of the door width. Once I rehung the door, and started lining up where the rail and actuator at the stop points I realized the actuator barely engaged the rail slide. The height was fine, but the actuator sat almost behind the rail slide and stop. I went ahead and tightened everything in place, and then tried the door. The actuator would slide out from the rail plunger because it did not line up enough. I considered coming up with some type of shim to move the rail rearward away from the door rail. I ended up loosening the screws to the actuator plates (removing the center one altogether), and sliding the actuator forward. You can see by the pictures that it actually hangs out from the front of the door. Can’t really see it unless you are looking for it, but it bothers me.It’ll work for now.My barn door is standard thickness, solid core with glass. So it is not unusually thin. Very heavy but the slide rails handle it very nicely.

Only had it installed a few days as of Apr-17-2025, but it works really well. I got the lightweight version for my 70 lbs sliding barn door and it works perfect for that weight. Catches the door 3-4 inches before fully opened or closed and gently pulls it the rest of the way. Operation is quite other than the click when it catches the door (louder if the door is moving fast).Installation was relatively easy if you're hand at all. Instructions are not very detailed, but you'll figure it out. Fit was perfect for my barn door and railing bought from Menards.

Soft close worked just like it should, easy install with enough adjustments for imperfect situations

Easy to install and works great!

The media could not be loaded. Our barn door is pretty heavy and these soft closers work like a charm. Holds the door open or closed with just enough resistance that the dogs won’t be able to open. I had these installed in less than an hour after I received them, real easy, just pay attention to the left and right application. Recommend!
