Review on SmartStandard Barn Door Soft Close Mechanism Hardware Kit - Upgraded Hole-Free Version - Set of 2 - Fits 88-132 lb Single Door - Spring Buffer Damper for Normal Weight Doors by Chris Dildine

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good system but needs corner grinding and other improvements.

Item arrived exactly as pictured. The installation went almost as planned, but this product could still be improved. I had to pull out my angle grinder to completely remove the weird metal rod from the part that attaches to the door. I had to paint the metal with spray paint after sanding. I also had to drill 2 of the 3 holes in the part that attaches to the door and find flat head screws that sit flush with the metal bracket as the supplied screws sit too high to slide the door in since it's an odd piece of metal there protruding from the retaining bracket on the door. , it's a decent system, looks clean after installation, but the system could be improved. This requires a minor modification that the average homeowner may not be able to pull off.
