Review on ZEKOO 6FT Single Track Bypass Barn Door Hardware Kit, Double Sliding Doors Overlapping For Low Ceiling by Lacueva Tranquillity

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great hardware best in my review

This hardware worked out great. It's very heavy duty and made well. We converted used sliding shutter patio doors into barn door sytle. I bought the 9 ft single bypass track and my opening is 8 ft wide, each door is 48" wide. The only small issue was the bolts that are used to mount the bracket to the doors were too long for a 1 inch thick door. The company mailed me shorter ones very quickly and for free; however we were so anxious to start the project, we went out and bought shorter bolts. Since we had to remove casing/a frame from the old shutter doors that came with the house, we had to install new casing around the patio door opening. We used left over 5 3/4" baseboard that our flooring installer gave us. It worked out perfect. Thanks to other reviewer pictures and tips to give us the idea. At minimum we had to mount a board at the top to ensure at the end, the rail was mounted into studs. Because we initially did not plan to put these doors up as barn door syle, they hang a little higher but my husband was creative on making a tall enough door guide. He mounted the door guides that came with the kit onto a block of wood and it's also working out fantastic. It's a must to use a door guide for our doors because the weight was pushing them inward. I also bought the handles off Revain too.Tips: Don't use the anchors, install into studs - you might need to mount a board up to make this happenBuy shorter bolts or pre-order from the company ahead of time if necessaryTake your time, measure carefully, read the directions carefully and look at the pictures. Trust the measurements they provide and look at the pictures because those help with making sure which is front, back, top or bottom to certain pieces. Make pilot holes first to prevent splitting. We also used masking tape to plan where the holes where go.Cons: bolts too long, but easy fixOverall this project took us a couple days due to prep work. If no prep work needs to be done, I would say installing the kit is a couple hours work.

Pros
  • Stylish Design
Cons
  • The track on this kit may require additional reinforcement or support, particularly if you have heavy doors
