ZEKOO 5FT Single Track Bypass Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit

Product Overview

The ZEKOO 5FT Single Track Bypass Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to install double sliding barn doors in space-constrained areas. This upgraded hardware system uses a single track layout with bypass functionality, allowing two doors to slide past each other without overlapping tracks. Ideal for low-ceiling installations, it requires only 6 inches of vertical clearance from the top of the door to the ceiling—making it significantly more suitable for smaller rooms than traditional side-pull or double-track bypass systems. The kit includes all necessary components and step-by-step instructions to simplify installation, while the durable black electrostatic spray-coated carbon steel construction ensures long-term resistance to rust, corrosion, and scratches. Whether you’re updating your entryway, bedroom, or closet, this hardware delivers both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

Key Features

• Bypass Design for Space Efficiency: Unlike standard single-slide systems, the bypass mechanism allows two doors to slide past one another within a single flat track, eliminating the need for dual rails. This maximizes usable floor space and is especially beneficial in narrow hallways or compact rooms where side-swing doors aren’t feasible.
• Low Ceiling Compatibility: With just 6 inches of required clearance between the top of the door and the ceiling, this kit is optimized for homes with lower ceilings that wouldn’t accommodate taller traditional barn door hardware.
• Upgraded Single-Track System: Eliminates the complexity and bulk of double-track bypass kits, offering a cleaner look and easier installation process with fewer moving parts and reduced friction points.
• Durable Black Electrostatic Coating: The carbon steel track and hardware are finished with a black electrostatic spray coating that provides superior protection against environmental wear, including rust and corrosion, extending the product’s lifespan even in humid environments.
• Complete Installation Package: Includes all essential components such as rollers, hangers, brackets, screws, and a detailed instruction manual—ensuring you have everything needed for a smooth setup without additional trips to the store.

• Recommended Opening Coverage: Door width should be at least 6 inches wider than half the opening width due to door overlap during sliding
• Material: Carbon steel with black electrostatic spray finish
• Installation Type: Floor-mounted bracket compatible with standard stud spacing
• Included Components: Track, roller wheels, I-shaped hangers, mounting hardware, and user guide

Benefits & Use Cases

This hardware kit is particularly well-suited for interior spaces where space optimization is critical. Its bypass configuration makes it an excellent choice for closets, laundry rooms, bathroom enclosures, or small entryways where full-width doors would interfere with adjacent furniture or fixtures. The reduced ceiling height requirement opens up installation possibilities in basement conversions, older homes with lower ceilings, or retrofit projects where raising the ceiling isn’t an option. Because it operates on a single flat track, there’s less mechanical complexity compared to dual-track systems, which can result in smoother operation over time. Homeowners who value both functionality and modern industrial design will appreciate the sleek appearance and reliable performance this kit offers.

Important Notes

It’s important to note that this package includes only the hardware components—doors must be purchased separately. Ensure your selected doors do not exceed 1-3/4 inches in thickness, as thicker doors may prevent proper rolling and alignment. Additionally, because the doors overlap when closed, plan your doorway measurements carefully: the total door width should be approximately 6 inches greater than half of your opening width to ensure complete coverage when closed. For example, if your door frame spans 48 inches, each individual door should ideally be around 27 inches wide (totaling 54 inches) to allow for full closure with overlap. Always verify structural support before installation, and follow the included instructions closely to maintain stability and safety. If any parts arrive damaged or are missing, ZEKOO customer service commits to providing prompt replacements upon request.
