Review on 6FT Flat Stainless Steel Ceiling Mount Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit By DIYHD by Raul Choudhury

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No Written Instructions

Hardware is high quality, but arrived with pictures on an installment manual (piece of paper). Pictures were insufficient to provide full understanding of how to install the Hardware. I installed the ceiling brackets at one inch from the wall with wall anchors provided as shown in the pictures. Turns out one inch is way too close to the wall and I could not hang the door without hitting the wall behind the door. I had to patch the wall anchor holes and move them farther away from the wall. Another issue is that the rollers are made to accept a certain size width of a door, but there is no warning or instructions to tell how wide the door must be. I ended up having to add spacers to the rollers in order to attach the door. In summary, this is a quality piece of hardware with poor instructions for understanding the measurements required to install the door properly. The whole project invovled going to a hardware store three times to get additional hardware to complete the installation. I do not recommend this hardware unless a complete set of written instructions are included with the purchase. In addition, the posting for sale of the hardware should include information about the minimum width of the door.
