Easy to install, very well made, heavy duty materials.
I bought the 10 foot version for double doors opening in the middle. Very straight forward installation, I didnt read the instructions (did look at the pictures) and it came out perfectly. Heavy duty steel hardware except the wheels which are POM Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal,[2] polyacetal, and polyformaldehyde, an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability…… translation: a high quality smoothly rolling plastic wheel (doesnât look or feel cheap). Iâm so confident in this hardware that I am using it outside covering a French door under a covered porch. Hardware was actually higher quality and heavier duty than I needed, as my doors arenât that heavy. (Could handle fairly heavy doors in my opinion). My only negative comment is the door guides at the bottom require you to router a grove in the bottom of your door for them to work properly. This method allows the guides to be unseen, but I didnât want to hassle with the groove, so I just bought cheap barn door rollers (floor guides) from amazon and bolted them to the porch (visible, but easy install and door rolls smoothly.)

Very nice, solid kit
Very nice, solid kit. I had to adapt it a bit to fit our needs (2nd floor hallway in a Cape-style house with a shorter than usual wall beneath the slanted ceiling- 2 doors that slide to the middle- one at a time- to each cover a closet doorway). We used the included lag screws rather than the included wall anchors and it went-up nicely and is very solid. Because our walls were not standard, we had to shorten one of the rails with a hacksaw to get the pre-drilled holes to line-up with the studs, but if you have a standard, 16″ on center stud-wall, then it should go up easily- just be sure to have a 3-foot level handy and take your time getting both rails as level as possible- it is heavy hardware and 13 feet long, so you will need at least 2 people to hold it while marking for your drill holes. I built custom-height doors out of eastern pine covered with shiplap 10″ pine siding. The hardware accommodates lots of configurations and it operates VERY smoothly. ‘Highly recommended.

Very stout hardware and good look, good paint job.
This item shipped very quickly and to be hinedt, is much more robust than I had immaged for the price. The bars are at least 1/4 steel and powder coated nicely. The rollers glide effortlessly. Indoubt st all that the quality will be an issue for the life of the door. I had a question about the track and I emailed the seller who promply got back with me and gave me a solution.A few questions that I had going into this purchase that I did not find on the page are below;The track for the 13 ft door wilk ckme in 2 pieces, and the actual overall length is 13 ft, 3 inches. You may need to cut the track if you need exactly 13 inches. Cutting the track wont have any affect on the function of the door.The 2 pieces do have a splice plate, and a small 4 hole tab that goes behind thebtrack with tapped bolt holes to hold them together. It does a good job of blending the 2 pieces.If I can find a way to do it I would upgrade all my swing doors with this this product. It is a beautiful piece of machinery that is very simple with easy to follow instructions.

Great Value and easy to install.
Great value and easy to install. I really like that they have an endcap that is adjustable so I can manage the distance the door travels before stopping. Many rails only allow you to stop at the end. This one allows you more flexibility.

Great product at a great price.
This hardware is very sturdy, and worked well for us. It was about a third of the price of the box stores. We were able to buy a 10 foot length where the both doors slide over the middle connection. That connection took a little special attention to get lined up perfectly, but works wonderfully. The only issue we still need to resolve is the guides on the floor don’t work for our situation. Our floor is not level so at one end it is 1 1/2 inches off the floor and at the other end it just barely clears. So the guides don’t reach the bottom of the door at one end. Still working on that. The other thing is that my handyman didn’t think the wall alone was enough support even with the molly bolts. So he put a matching board inset into the wall to attach it to. I love it and it is incredibly strong. See the picture. So happy with our purchase.

Excellent hardware kit
This hardware was installed with two 24″ doors. The rail was installed with a 1″x4″ header above the doorway. This allowed the doors to slide freely over the trim. The package came with 4 door stops, one to be installed at each end of the rail and two in the middle to keep the doors from traveling past the ends or contacting one another in the middle. The only problem I had was the door stops in the middle were too wide to allow the doors to come together in the center when closed. This was due to my location of the door hangers which I installed 1″ in from each side of the doors. I believe a vertical stop bracket, which can be hung down from the header between the doors, should be included in the hardware kit. The purpose would be to keep the doors from sliding past center. This is my only reason for for stars. I would highly recommend this kit.

Great Value
Nicely made with very few wood issues (tight knots, had 1 or 2 pop out but very tiny and easily filled with wood putty. My only issue was installing the hardware especially the handles – there were no instructions or templates to aid in drilling holes. Thought they would have pre-drilled holes like the other kits but guess not. Email to seller got me the âsuggestedâ placement of the hardware but these should really have pre-drilled holes or at least a template included in packaging. Kit is definitely cheaper than buying everything individually.

Best fittings I have found for barn doors here on Amazon India.I am an interior designer and I wanted a barn door mechanism for my client. After a long search in the market. I ended up buying this. Came with a good packaging and instruction manual hence my workers didn’t find it difficult to install.Thank you.
