Review on Transform Your Closets With DIYHD 5FT Stainless Steel Bi-Parting Barn Door Hardware Kit by Gerard Hudson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Nice looking but terrible instructions.

As others have stated, very poor instructions, very poor. Weird dimensions given, i.e. 25/64, like someone is going to measure down to that accuracy? (FYI: that is 1/64 over 3/8.) The end caps don't stay in at all on mine. I have to cut it down a few inches so I/m hoping the new ends in the pipe will be tighter as the factor ends look like they have a bevel otherwise I'll epoxy them on. And no hints on how to cut it - I'm going to first try a hacksaw but I doubt I'll get very far. I right-angle grinder with a metal wheel is probably what I'll end up using. Also it would have been nice to know that the stops needed to be slid on the bars before putting them up - I guess I should have looked at them more closely. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do with the 4 wheels with the stud sticking out, see attached picture.Update: Sags in the middle when the doors are closed. Joiner needs to be longer or I need another wall mount in the middle. I asked where to get another wall mount but got no response. Not sure why they had the middle mounts spaced out 24" where all others are 16".

Pros
  • Very good quality
Cons
  • May require additional hardware for stability
