Im a finish carpenter

Pass on this product. The soft close mechanism has zero allowable tolerance. I installed it using a laser level and the soft close mechanism would only work properly if you have the bracket perfect. Which is didn't stay there. Two times out to adjust it using a piece of 20 gauge aluminum as a shim (yes that's how exact it needed to be) and the customer just called and stated that it locked someone in their bathroom. The removed the soft close mechanism but then the door slid off the track and…

Pros
  • Saves you money on traditional door installation
Cons
  • The system may be noisy

Some modification needed

This is an actual review from the person installing the hardware. The hardware itself is very nice. All the parts are well packaged, sorted and protected. The hardware was easy to install except for one engineering oversight, which is why I gave three stars and not five. I ordered the 10' hanger, which came with four 5' rails to make two ten foot rails. One ten foot rail for the front slider and one ten foot rail for the back slider. The holes in all the rails are set for 16" centers, which

Pros
  • Can be painted or stained to match your decor
Cons
  • The finish may not match existing hardware

Very well made product. Much nicer than black ones. instructions are minimal and metric but actually works out very well and more precice than inches.(with help of google a couple times to convert for sanity checks). If you are building your door like I did it's best to install the bar first then calculate height of door. Pretty easy to calculate hole and clearance distances. I used a 1x2 board against sheet rock to screw lags into. I managed to get 3 of the lags to hit studs through the 1x2 so

Pros
  • Opens up living space for large gatherings or parties
Cons
  • The soft-close mechanism may require regular adjustment

Instructions SUCK on my review.

Took 4 HOURS to install! THE INSTRUCTIONS SUCK! Most measurements are in 15/32-29/32. No words just small pictures. Wall anchors that come with are garbage. If you don't have a header or blocking you will need to install a board and attach to studs. After all said and done it is very quiet and finish is top notch and looks great.

Pros
  • Two side soft close operation;The track had been pre-drilled 16" apart holes;Track's two end had been pre-drilled small holes for track connector to make a long track
Cons
  • Challenging to customize to fit unique architectural styles

Beautiful, quality track.

I typically don't take time to write reviews however, this track blew my socks off! I had looked around for awhile at some of the bigger box stores and nothing compared. This was cheaper and a much better track than anything I had come across. I wanted a more contemporary look so I was looking for something in stainless steel and without the big wagon wheel type wheels. This track delivered all that and more. It was easy to install, no issues at all!

Pros
  • Sliding barn doors take up less space than traditional doors
Cons
  • The hardware may not work on hollow-core doors

WATCH THE INTALLATION VIDEO FIRST!

So let’s start off with the instructions. The paper instructions were in mm and extremely vague. Thanks goodness our handy nature kicked in about two+ hours after the start of the project. I will say that because this was going into a brick wall, there were some modifications made to accommodate the support.Once we were able to obtain a sturdy support into the brick, the rest was not to far from being complete.We then had to measure the height of the wheels from the soft close apparatus in…

Pros
  • Door Hardware & Locks
Cons
  • Only one finish is available

Look great, a little challenging too.

These rails looks great and seem to work pretty well so far. Bearings on the wheels roll very well. A couple of notes for future builders:1. The instructions are in metric units. I needed to convert some measurements in the instructions from metric to make sure I had the right tools and drill bits. After that, I measured the whole thing with a metric tape measure. Screw up a conversion and you're going to be unhappy.2. You'll need at least 8" of wood behind the drywall above the doorway. The…

Pros
  • Enhances the natural light in your home
Cons
  • The product may not fit thick doors

Exactly what we expected

It was what we expected and we were glad to find it on Revain for a fraction what you'd pay at the regular DIY stores. I haven't given it a full 5 stars, because we've only had it installed a month, but the door glides across smoothly for sure and so far so good.

Pros
  • Great way to update your home without a major renovation
Cons
  • Soft-close mechanism may damage the door or wall in some cases

A new look for our home

We needed extenders to make this extra long hardware work in our house. We did not get help from the company when we emailed them. Install is not complete.

Pros
  • Increases sound insulation
Cons
  • The soft close mechanism may cause the door to close too quickly or too slowly

Great quality, easy to install

I've purchased two of these now, an 8' and 6.6', to hang barn doors I built out of blue pine. They are heavy duty, easy to install, and glide silently. For my smaller door, I first bought a cheaper kit, and when I saw how inferior it was, I ordered another one of these to replace it.

Pros
  • Can be used to cover unsightly closets or storage areas
Cons
  • The kit may not include the necessary tools

High qyality on my review.

Quick delivery. Packaged well enough. No damage to the box which is over 8’ long.Don’t forget to buy handle set.Installation is a little tricky. Make sure to use a longer level, hit studs and measure height multiple times. Also make sure floor is level too.

Pros
  • Looked nice, exactly what I ordered, heavy duty. I had to return it and get a different size a
Cons
  • Installation may require extra materials, tools, and time

Perfect buy! good for me

Extremely sturdy barn door hardware set. I installed my bathroom door (32”x7’ft) which also has five glass inserts (adding more weight to the standard solid wood door, nearly weighing 100lbs).

Pros
  • Love IT! Will order again for my walk in closet... great quality and sturdy super easy to install.
Cons
  • The product is relatively expensive

I liked how easy it was to install

I liked how easy it was to install. looks nice on the wall ,not to gawdy looking. What I didn't like was the directions weren't that good. their was only pictures ,no writing at all. You must look at the entire directions before you start.

Pros
  • Soft-close feature reduces noise and enhances safety
Cons
  • The soft-close mechanism may make noise during operation

It is very sturdy and takes a bit of time to put together

I love the look and how substantial it is, the soft close gets stuck a lot so the door ends up flying out of control. Overall I love it and the way it give me more space in my kitchen. I used it on my small kitchen pantry.

Pros
  • Allows you to easily change the layout of your home
Cons
  • The installation process may be time-consuming

Easy to install and beautiful

Used this hardware to install a barn door during a basement remodel. That's my feedback. It was easy to install and looks beautiful.

Pros
  • Increases the functionality of your home
Cons
  • The hardware may not work with door types with unusual handles

Nice bypass hardware

Hardware is very nice and complements my kitchen. Used as pantry doors and is easy to open and slides smoothly. Was worried about installation but my husband did it following the enclosed directions. Hardware was organized in boxes which was very helpful! The doors are the highlight of my new kitchen and I love them!

Pros
  • Just what we needed to update the basement. These rails were easy to install, and operating smoothly.
Cons
  • The hardware may not fit perfectly for all door sizes

Great Product to accompany Contemporary Farm Style Door

I loved the beauty of this product and it works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product. Thank you. Not resistant to long-term wear and tear.

  • Not resistant to long-term wear and tear

Great quality! on my review.

Everything went together with ease. It supports a 75 lb. door with no problem. Some reviews said the instructions did not give measurements in inches but the included instructions were in both metric and inches.

Pros
  • Beautiful brushed finish that complements any decor
Cons
  • The track may become derailed
