Review on Brushed Stainless Steel Top Mount Studio Barn Door Style Track Kit With Integrated Soft Close Sliding Hardware - 6.6FT DIYHD by Zach Clements

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor manufacturing quality control makes the installation troublesome. Far from a no brainer

Style and profile are really nice looking.The rolling mechanism seems sturdy and smooth.All hardware included plus an appropriate assortment of Allen wrenches.Caution:The 4 attachment points on the bar are not the specified distance apart as in the instructions. Poor quality control. Please measure closely the rail you receive. If you are off only a millimeter or two mounting the disks, there is little forgiveness.My rail did not match the instructions for disk location.Also, the attachment points on the rail all need to be in the same plane. In my first shipment, the attachment disks welded on the bar were rotated slightly out of the alignment plane of the others. So, when I went to mount it, 2 of the flanges/disks would not sit flat on the wall while the other two were fine. You can lay the bar on an even floor and clearly note the out of alignment disks.Returned and reordered. The second unit had only one flange out of alignment and I could let the bar torque a little bit when mounting to the wall.The soft close mechanism works well catching the door as it approaches the travel end of the bar. However, as other reviews have mentioned, to slide the door out of the soft close catch device takes a bit of effort. More than expected.Time is now the measure of the product to see how the finish holds up in a damp bathroom, how robust the soft close mechanisms are, how users adapt to the tension on the soft close mechanism and how smooth the rollers perform.
