Review on Johnson 100FD362 4 Panel Hardware Set by Garrett Flores

Revainrating 4 out of 5

it was definitely the best value for money

Johnson gear of very high quality, components made in USA. After looking at many folding door options, this is definitely the best option in terms of value for money. The high quality industrial gear was very expensive and I didn't need that much weight anyway. For my application with a double screen patio door, this was perfect. The facility isn't that bad. The hardest part was the bottom axle if you are installing on a stove. You need to buy some stone screws, a stone drill and a stone drill. I used the smallest faucets but in hindsight wish I had used the larger size and just drilled through the hardware turntable to accommodate it. I clicked on a few small taps and drilling those small holes was tricky. I asked them about splicing tracks and they told me it's not recommended, but I spliced them anyway and it worked. I also asked them about outdoor use and they said their hardware wasn't corrosion resistant so I sprayed the whole thing with Corrosion X HD and it held up great. I used other loops as I didn't like them. I also bought an extra roller ball bearing for the Johnson sliding/pocket door as I had an extra set of doors on one side of my project.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
