I have a weird size opening/storage space that wouldn’t fit folding doors and too large for a single door. I was looking for a low cost option (it’s for the cabin) and these, combined with regular internal (cheap) doors fit the bill. I put up a backing board (2×6 – stained) to attach them too. Only issue (and this may just be I need to adjust the included stoppers that go on top of the door) is if you open them too hard, they can come off the tracks – pretty sure this is on me so not removing any stars.

Make sure to screw the rail in solid wood, not drywall. The holes don’t align with our studs, so we had to attach another piece of wood on the wall, to attach the rail to it. A few screws were missing from the package but they sent me the missing ones within a few days.

This kit seems to be well made, not extra heavy duty but just right for the application we required it for. Easy installation and works well, looks great.

It Works
I’ve hung two barn doors in the past. This was my first bypass door. This rail kit comes with everything you need, minus the doors of course, and is solid steel with smooth rollers. We did have an issue in that the doors would roll to the left. My track was perfectly level, so I think this is more an issue of the bypass configuration as it never happened with my single hung doors. This was an easy fix by simply sticking a thin sticky back circle of felt (can be purchased in any hardware store) on the top and back of the railing, so it is not visible to the front. You stick it in front of the roller, where the door is supposed to stop, and it provides just enough resistance to keep the door from rolling and light enough to barely even notice it is there when you open the door. My one gripe, and this is the case with every barn door rail I have installed, is the stops cannot go over the bolt heads. Ofttimes, the perfect stop is where the bolt head is at. It would be nice if someone would simply design a stop to fit over the bolt heads.

Great product just an install concern
The track and hardware are great. However there is a section in the install for a hollow wall install, with supplied wall anchors. The hollow wall anchors do not hold up. I recommend adding blocking/studs in the wall for support. other than that all is well

Easy enough for any DIYer
There were not many reviews of this double bypass system with 4 doors, so I wanted to show that it is possible to do. This was such a great alternative to purchasing a custom door to fit our 100.5 inch opening from our kitchen into my office. The best thing I took away from the other reviews are to measure not once, not twice, but three times. I have installed barn doors before on a single track system and this was by far easier. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. The 10 ft track does come in 3 separate pieces and I found it was easier to draw my line using a level, then hang the first of the three rails. Double check that it is level, then use the connector and hang the second section of the rail, double check that it is level and so on. I found that this will prevent the connectors from breaking in half and was much easier to install than to connect all three pieces and then hang (as the instructions state to do). I did this all myself which I think speaks for itself when I say how easy this was. Overall, Iâm very satisfied!

Awesome Company Support
The barn door kit was exactly what we wanted, but when we found ourselves unexpectedly needing a part to allow us to modify the kit for our unique situation, we couldn’t find anything to order online. I reached out to the company and they immediately responded AND immediately shipped a part to us free of charge. I could not believe how responsive they were to us! They went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied! I highly recommend them for their customer responsiveness, but also because the hardware itself is exactly as it should be and looks great!

Flawed Design but a Premium Customer Service
The hardware works, however the outside door does not hang vertically, but inclined due to its weight. The design of the system is flawed since it cannot prevent the outside door from hanging off-the-vertical line. I need to constantly keep separating the outside door from touching the inside door. Next time I would buy a two-rail system where each door hangs separately and fully vertical.UPDATE: After I wrote the review, the manufacturer (ZEKOO) contacted me to resolve my complain. We exchanged several messages and pictures and they tried their best to fix the tilting door. The problem was that the door needs to be *always* in contact with the floor guide to prevent the tilting. I couldn’t do that because the opening was much larger than the door width (that is why I needed 2 doors), and I didn’t want to have floor guides in the middle of the opening, to avoid tripping hazards. At the end, ZEKOO reimbursed me with $40 which I found very kind and professional. So, even though there was no solution for the tilting door (unless I install the floor guides in the middle of the opening), the company showed excellent, I would say premium, customer service which is always welcome. I give them 5 star and will buy again from them for my next barn door project.
