Review on Heavy Duty 12Ft Double Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit - Smooth & Quiet Operation For 36" Wide Doors - J Shape Hanger Black | SMARTSTANDARD. by Ryan Will

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.

Pros
  • There isn’t anything I dislike about this rail. Very happy with it, doors roll smoothly on it.
Cons
  • The kit may not be designed to last for very long
