SMARTSTANDARD 6.6 Feet Heavy Duty Sturdy Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit -Smoothly and Quietly -Easy to Install -includes Step-by-Step Installation Instruction Fit 40" Wide Door Panel (J Shape Hanger)

I have used this brand before. I will buy again. The dimensions in the instructions are very precise and makes the installation easy. As before, I had to drill some new mounting holes in the cross bar. The bar is pre-drilled for stud spacing of 16 inches center to center. In reality, stud positions around a door opening may vary widely. Also, many homes have stud spacing of 24 inches in interior walls. This is not a problem, and I mention it because it is something to be aware of when installing these doors. The workaraound is to install a board as a header to mount the cross bar. In this installation, that option would not work.

Used this to install a very heavy former commercial door we bought from a savage store. We spiffed up the old door to use as a transition from our bedroom to bath. Was worried it would not handle the weight or might be too noisy for middle of the night trips to the bathroom. Should not have worried. It tracks beautifully and is whisper quiet.

I bought an 11" track for a door I made. The instructions were very clear and made it easy for me to install in the right location and at the right height. The door is a 67"-wide door made of MDF, so it is quite heavy, but it rolls incredibly well. The only issue I had is that one of the lag screws used to attach the track to the wall snapped while I was installing it. I contacted the seller, not really expecting much of a response. In the meantime, I went to the local hardware store and bought a new lag screw that would work. The seller did respond, and stated that they did not stock this screw as a service part, but that if I went to a local store and bought one, they would refund me for the cost. I told them I had already done that, and that I was all set. They replied again and asked me what I paid for the screw, and I said it was somewhere around $1.50, but I was all set. The next day, I received notice that I was getting a refund to my credit card for $1.59. Much better service than I ever expected, and the product looks and works great!

Actually used it on a barn. It really enhanced the look overall. Very pleased

Well made product - excellent installation instructions. I only give it 4 stars, not 5 because of the the 16" hole spacing issue. It would almost be better if they threw in a metal bit so you could drill your own as its unlikely your door opening will match up to the 16 inch spacing - the installer will need a drill and bits regardless ....my solution to maintain the factory spacing without extra holes is this.... its more involved but only requires basic skills to do a really top notch installation and you only have to buy a few inexpensive boards, some 2 part epoxy and 5 "acorn nuts" for a clean install.I removed the entire door casing ( trim) on that side of the opening. I purchased some 8 ft pieces of 3/4 X 2 1/2 poplar wood ( or whatever wood matches your trim) to make a new casing. I cut the top board to match the length of the Iron rail, Instead of installing the mounting bolts for the rail according to the instructions - i marked the hole locations and countersunk a hole at each location on the back side of the board so the bolt can be installed backwards - leaving a "stud " sticking out.I then used 2 part epoxy to cement the bolt head in the countersunk hole. with the 5 studs cemented, i installed the board with studs on the top of the opening ( positioned correctly) and used slightly countersunk wood screws to secure the board to the actual wall studs. i then filled in the holes and painted the board to match my painted trim.Once that board is finished completely - install the spacers and the Iron rail and use the acorn nuts to secure it, do not over tighten the nuts though - very snug is good, a bit of loctite or even fingernail polish on the threads will keep them in place. and follow the rest of the directions to mount the rollers to the doorbe sure to cut the slot in the bottom of the door for the "guide" before you schlep it upstairs into the house.......................I hope this makes sense LOL.....steve

I have a 30" arched doorway in my master bedroom that I needed to enclose to the master bathroom. Since it was so narrow I didn't want to put a door there, and it would had to have been custom made. I decided to do a barn door to cut down on the noise my wife makes getting ready in the morning. I built the door and needed hardware to hang it. The big box home improvement stores sell kits for $150+. There is absolutely no reason to spend the money on those, when this is half the price and functions exactly the same. Due to the stud location on the wall, I was not able to hit studs where the factory holes were. It would have pushed the bar too far down and wouldn't have been able to open the door the whole way. Here is where I made my mistake. I decided to drill new holes to line up with my studs and it worked fine. I have extra holes, but nobody has noticed them so it's not a huge deal. An even better way to do it, is to use a 1x backer for the bar to mount to. You can go to your local home improvement and pick up a piece of 1x6 (or any width you want). You mount the 1x backer to your wall and attach it to studs. Since the 1x is on the wall, you can mount the bar to that instead. 1x will have the strength to support your door easily since it's mounted to studs (I would use 3" high quality exterior screws two per stud.) I do plan to take mine down and do something similar so it matches the trim in my room. I like the hardware because it's very quiet, very heavy duty, and significantly cheaper than anywhere else. I did not use the guide for the door because I didn't want to drill in my new wood floors. I ended up buying a barn door wheel and having it modified to work for me. The guide would probably work great if you can use it. Just keep in mind you will need to run your door down the table saw to get a groove in it for the guide. It's actually pretty easy to do.

El producto es lo que esperaba, llegó a tiempo y el vendedor me dio muy buena atencion
