Review on 2PCS Stainless Steel Barn Door Soft Close Mechanism - 77-132 Lbs Weight Capacity, Adjustable Tension Spring Buffer Damper & Actuator Spacers Included by Adam Mazie

This is a pretty good product. It works as advertised, and is pretty compact and discreet. The stainless steel parts are not visible when installed, so no need to worry about that. The mostly metal housing is one of the reasons I went with these instead of other plastic alternatives. Installation is not hard, but the included instructions are indeed lacking. The video in the product listing pictures was helpful in figuring out the installation.My home made barn door will not slam anymore, which is great when you have kids (or friends kids) that can't/won't control themselves. The stoppers that come with barn door kits only do so much in my experience.My only complaints is that when the door is fully closed or fully open, it takes quite a bit of force to get it clear of the soft close mechanism. It's ok for now, but I think young kids might have a hard time with it. I tried adjusting the "speed" setting using the screw on the bottom, but it didn't seem to make any difference in any way.Also the mechanisms are about 13" wide, as the seller indicated in one of the answered questions. However this doesn't take into account the metal brackets that you use to attach them to the rail. These stick out past the soft-close mechanism, and extend the width by about 3/8 of an inch. Hopefully this isn't a big deal for your installation, but it could make a difference. In my case, it forced me to move one stopper just past the point it would normally sit, so the door never touches the stopper anymore. It's not off by that much, but it could be depending on your installation. Just something to keep in mind.
