IMPORTANT
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read instructions fully before
starting the installation of your
barn door. Not following the
installation instructions can
cause the unit to work in an
unsafe manner and cause injury.
The barn door kit has been
designed to work as a total
system. Any modification to the
door or the hardware will void
the warranty and may cause the
unit to work improperly.

The weight of the barn door
requires 2 people during
installation.
Always wear appropriate
personal protection equipment
when using tools and follow
manufacturer's operating
instructions.
When installing directly into
a non-concrete wall, do not
attempt to install the track solely
to the drywall or any wall surface
as this may not support the
weight of the track and mounted
door.
The track must be installed onto
a piece of solid wood blocking
using mounting screws (included
in some complete kits).
Ensure the solid wood blocking is
secured into
the structural surface.
Use a stud finder where
necessary to locate studs
and secure safely.

The hole for the anti-jump blocks should be
offset from the center of the door so the block

To find end location of the track, measure 3"
over from edge of opening. Mark with a pencil.

PREPARATION
Position the track in place using the marks in

the track as a template, mark mounting hole
locations for the track using a pencil.

PREPARATION
When installing on drywall or plaster, a 1x4
wood board must first be fastened to the
structural wall members (studs) behind the
drywall before mounting the track.
Using a ladder, tape measure and speed square,
find the center line position of the track by
adding 1-3/4" to the door height and measuring
up from the floor. Mark with a pencil.
To find end location of the track, measure
3" over from opening. Mark with a pencil.
(FIGURE 6)
NOTE: Mounting board to have same center as
track. End of mounting board may vary from
track end. See Step 7.
When installing with a standard 80" height
opening, the top trim will need to be removed
and the top of the side trim cut horizontally
along the height of the opening. (NOT SHOWN)

On a flat surface, center the track on the
mounting board (insure the track is straight on
the board). Mark locations of track mounting
holes onto board. (FIGURE 7)
NOTE: If using the Soft Close feature, refer to
Soft Close instruction sheet before proceeding.

MOUNTING BOARD
Use the stud finder to find the framing
material (studs) behind the drywall. Mark
locations. (Remember to mark location so
that you will be able to see them when
mounting 1x4 board.)
Position the mounting board on the wall
ensuring it is level. Attach through drywall
into studs using #10 x 2-1/2 screws (2 per
stud location). Predrill with 1/8” drill bit.
Position screws so they do not interfere
with track mounting holes. (FIGURE 8)
INSTALLATION TIP: Locate and install one
screw at end of board first. This will hold
one end of the board so you can move the
free end and ensure the board is level as
you install the other #10 x 2-1/2” screws.

GUIDE INSTALLATION
Used for standard doors that are grooved
in the bottom of the panel for the guide.
With the door hanging straight, position the floormount door guide inside groove in the bottom of the
door. Slide the door side to side to ensure the guide
is properly placed. Mark location of guide.
Attached guide with supplied screws. If needed,
supplied anchors can be used by drilling 1/4" dia
holes. (FIGURE 12)
To fasten guide, the door may need to be removed or
slide out of the way by loosening one of the stoppers.
If Soft Close units have been installed, refer to Soft
Close instructions for mounting activation brackets.

DOOR GUIDE INSTALLATION
The Wall-Mounted Guide can be used if the
floor condition makes it difficult to attach
the floor mounted guide.
Close to the opening, position and secure the
wall-mounted door guide directly into the wall or
trim, extending the guide as necessary to allow the
door to travel side-to-side. Tighten to secure in place.
NOTE: Adjust correctly for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" thick
doors for smooth opening and closing operation.

GUIDES USING SIDE METHOD
For custom doors that are not grooved on
the bottom, the side guides can be used.
Close to the opening, position both the floor-mounted
door guides to allow the door to travel side-to-side on
both sides of the door. Screw into place directly into
the floor.
Note: Measure correctly for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" thick
doors for smooth opening and closing operation.
To fasten guide, the door may need to be removed or
