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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quality but difficult

I used 2 hardware packs and 3 of the Smartstandard doors. Quality is good. Installation was very difficult. I think my walls are uneven which caused the problem. I used a header board, drilled straight and put up the rails. Both had the same problem - uneven spacing from the wall at the bottom of the doors. I enlarged the holes on the doors and rehung them a bit loose and tried to adjust them hanging. It helped slightly. I then used washers as spacers on the rail spacers and was able to correct it a little more. That reduced the larger gap to about an inch which was acceptable. The other end(s) lightly touch the base board when open so I just put a felt furniture pad on the door. The problem also made the fin difficult to place.If I had to do it again, and I hope I don't, I would carefully set and shim the header board. Then not tighten the rail bolts much. Hand tighten each separately while a door is on. checking the bottom spacing as I go. Don't forget the larger holes in the doors also. I made them 1/2 inch. Looks good but not perfect.
