Review on ZEKOO 2.5-8 FT Super Mini Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit J Shape Hanger Flat Track For Cabinet TV Stand Console (5FT, Double Door Kit) by Jeff Olson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't depend on the instructions they send!

The pieces of this kit seem to be fairly good quality, and I'm sure if I had a PhD in barn door hanging , it would have been a cinch. However, the instructions are absolute garbage. I read and reread them. I scrutinized the little diagram and tried to use that as a hint as to how low to place the rollers. It was wrong. All that wasted time, and a simple internet search told me the magic number they didn't include ANYWHERE in the instructions is: 2 inches. Two inches is how high the rollers should be about the top of the door.If you do get this kit, here are some tips:1. The size of the kit is ONLY the width of the door - you need to double the kit size to have a track long enough to open your door.2. Ignore the absolutely inscrutable yet somehow super wordy instructions. Look up how to hang a barn door online. It's the same. Ignore all the insane diagrams about where to drill. I think they accidentally substituted some kind of demon summoning ritual for instructions here. Simply cut a 2 inch square of cardboard, and rest the roller on that above the door. Mark the screw positions. Voila!3. Best of luck!

Pros
  • Creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere
Cons
  • May not be flush with the wall

I made a dog crate piece of furniture and wanted a barn door for it. I’ve never made one before so it was a learning curve. Unlike other reviewers my product arrived with instructions. I still watched YouTube tutorials and it came out perfectly! Super happy with the results! Door slides so nicely and easily (I’m surprised the dogs haven’t figured out how to slide it open!)Would highly recommend this set
