Must be mounted to a solid structure. Not Sheetrock.

Liked the product. But. the mounting holes are 16” apart. If you are hanging a door the holes need to line up with your studs. The kit does provide Sheetrock anchors that are far from Adequate. I made a 30” by 60” door out of Cedar fence boards to cover a heater unit the door weighed about 30 lbs. the holes only lined up with 2 studs so I used the remaining Sheetrock anchor bolts. The anchor bolts did not support the weight of the door and stared pulling out. To fix this problem I purchased a 1/4” x 2” Aluminum flat bar and drilled and tapped 3/8” holes and screw the plate to the studs with wood screws and the mounting bracket to the plate and it worked perfect.

Pros

Good

Cons

The sliding door may not work well in areas with high levels of humidity or moisture, as the wood may warp or swell
