Review on Upgraded Hole-Free Version Barn Door Soft Close Mechanism with Adjustable Door Stoppers and Actuator Spacers - Sliding Barn Door Hardware for Door Weight 70-160 Pounds by Rob Kerr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad at all - door hardware and locks

I have a set of doors that don't come with closers. I looked at this product and realized I could make it work. I just had to drill 3 holes and place it where it could do what I need. Cons (for me, remember my door wasn't designed for this): 1) Lots of plastic parts, I wish there was more metal. 2) The piece of metal that was going to be bolted to the top of the door was very long and overhanging the door by about 1/4 inch. I haven't seen a way to cut it off without losing power. I see no reason why they couldn't make it a little shorter. 3) Height adjustment without spacers is limited. I think an adjustable screw and a set of spacers would solve some issues. 4) Cheap screws that could not be used on a metal door, had to use it myself Pros: Very compact unit that is almost invisible Reasonable price Clear instructions

Pros
  • Item arrived damaged/missing parts received
