This item met our needs exactly. A very sturdy door rail at a reasonable price. We have used it for two 24 inch doors to enclose our laundry room. We didn’t have to cut it. It comes exactly as described.

Excellent quality and value
Could not have been more pleased. The bedroom door from the hallway would catch on the handle of the closet if the closet door was open. A bad design from the start, but after numerous repairs (teenage daughter’s room) I decided converting the doors to barn doors would solve the issue. The kit is complete and well package. The instructions were clear and concise, not necessarily in the right order, but looking at it you can easily tell what you need to do. It took a few modifications, as I didn’t want to remove the top frame molding nor purchase new doors. I measured carefully and by installing one bolt first at the end, I could then rotate up to secure the 2nd bolt. This allowed me to work by myself and take my time. I had to ordered a better wall mounted bottom roller guide (same company). The doors hangs a little high, removing the molding would have solved this, but more work than I was ready to tackle now. Since, it was a closet the couple of inches didn’t really matter. The railing system is great, well made, sturdy, quiet, and the appearance is perfect. Plus, no more broken door handles!

Easy to Assemble and Great Product
This product was delivered on time, it was easy to set up. The doors run smoothly on bar and just overall good stuff. Love it and would recommend.

Nice set of hardware, especially for the price!
I built two âbarn doorsâ for our church to cover the opening from the kitchen to the fellowship center. The doors were roughly 4â square, each. This hardware was a breeze to work with. As others have said, there are no written instructions, just pictures, but if you are handy enough to hang a door, you are handy enough to figure that out. Also, a millimeter to inch conversion app may be helpful for you as all the given measurements are in mm.As a word to the wise, you may want to figure out where the roller stops will go and put them on the track before mounting the track to the wall. This is the first set of sliding door hardware Iâve installed and didnât think that far in advance. Itâs not really a big deal if you donât add them to the track first, but then you will have to slide the stop onto the end of the track, remove a bolt, slide the stop past the bolt, replace the bolt and repeat until the stop is where you want it. Not difficult, but a pain none the less. Also, there are left and right stops, which may not be obvious if you have not installed one before. The Allen wrenches that comes with the kit are not good, you should have another set of Allen wrenches as these will strip pretty quickly.I was very pleased with this set of hardware. Considering how affordable it is, I had some reservations but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to install and how well it works. I would highly recommend this set.

NO INSTRUCTIONS – POOR PACKING: But Product itself looks good – I hope I can install it
UPDATE: After printing out instructions on the internet for a similar product – this was actually easy to install and works great – so upgrading to 4 stars. If they included instructions, it would be a 5-star product.NO INSTRUCTIONS: For Serious DIY’ers only that can figure it out for yourself. Product itself seem very good.The product itself looks fine… but it arrived just dumped into a long box without packing materials, so every part was busted out of its packing and loose in the box…. a huge pile of hardware and ZERO INSTRUCTIONS or INVENTORY LIST to tell if I have everything I need to install – if I can figure out how to put it together.I looked in the questions and comments and apparently this is a common problem with this company.Not sure why they don’t put a link to pdf instructions or their own installation video.Looks similar enough to competitors products that I can have my handyman figure it out…

Nice, heavy duty, but needs some tweaking.
This is a smooth rolling, heavy duty barn door rail. I am very pleased but I did need to modify the center bumper pads. Because the rail is bolted at the center of the door opening, the spacer and bolt do not accommodate the two bumper pads to enable the double doors to meet together without a gap. I did what a previous person suggested and cut both spacers. That still did not bring my two doors together without a slight space. I used a grinder to route out the metal in order to accommodate both the round spacer and the front bolt. Although it left me with only 1 tightening screw, it was enough to tighten the bumper pads as well as bring my doors together at the center without leaving a gap. I would definitely buy this again but it would be nice if the company could create a modified center bumper for double doors that need to meet at the center.

Great kit, but requires precision
We bought this kit to hang double barn doors on our pantry. Overall, the kit is great and the instructions are clear enough. However, hanging the tracks level requires a great deal of precision as being off even just a tiny bit leads to your doors sliding on their own (we’re in a 1950’s farmhouse, so nothing about our house is square or level). The doors slide so smoothly that if the tracks are tilted at all, the doors will slide. This is probably true of most barn door kits and not an issue specific to this kit, but beware that if you think hanging this will be easy, it is not. (We decided to build the doors ourselves, which also didn’t make the project any easier). Overall, great value and very aesthetically pleasing!

Take your time during installation. Very Happy!
We purchased the EaseLife 84â Barn Door Kit and the EaseLife 12â Pull Handle. Both are very well designed and manufactured. Was very delighted with the quality and the robustness of the equipment. The 24â French Style were sourced at Loweâs. The track is strong and has a very smooth operation. The installation of the track is best completed with two people. Recommend that the stud location is verified before any holes are predrilled. In my case the studs were not at a âtrueâ 16â centers. I had to use several of the Inserts to anchor the rail. When you install the hangers (wheel part) to door make sure you allow for the dimensions of the wheel stops. See photo above. Had one question for EaseLife and received a response from them with 24 hours. Weâre extremey happy with the doors.
