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 (sold separately).
Ensure the solid wood
blocking is secured into
the structural surface.
Use a stud finder where
necessary to locate studs
and secure safely.
Typical solid wood blocking
should be 83-3/4" (L) x 5-1/2"
(H) x 7/8" (D).
If installing with the internal
floor-mounted door guide,
the door must be mortised
(dado) 1/4" wide x 3/4"
deep centrally.
The barn door is supplied pre-mortise 1/4" wide x 3/4"
deep groove centrally to the bottom of the door for use
with the floor-mounted door guide. This will ensure
smoothness of door travel side-to-side and will prevent
the door from swinging in and out.
Note: optional wall- and floor-mounted door guides
have also been provided in this kit should you not wish
to use the floor-mounted door guide.

BLOCK INSTALLATION
Position each anti-jump block at least 1" from the edge
of the Straps. Tighten slightly to secure in place.
If installing into drywall - please proceed to step 7.
Position the track by measuring up from the door height
(H) + 1 3/4" to the center of the track. This ensures a
gap of 3/8" - 1/2" at the bottom. Ensure the track is level
and leave a minimum of 2" from the end of the track to
the side of the opening (as shown).
If installing with an opening for 80" standard door size,
remove the top trim and cut the side trim horizontally
along the height of the opening.

Position the track in place ensuring that it is level, mark
the holes on the track using a pencil and pre-drill 5/16"
holes into the concrete using the track also as a guide.

Important: Before mounting track, slide both stoppers
onto the end of the track inside the first hole.
Note: The stoppers are handed.
When installing directly into concrete, insert using the
provided anchors and carriage bolts (with washers).
Ensure to unscrew to separate the carriage bolt and
anchor to install correctly, securing with a wrench.
When installing into drywall, a piece of 84" x 5-1/2" x
7/8" solid wood blocking is required to be mounted to
the wall before proceeding with the track installation.
Position the solid wood blocking with track by
measuring up from the door height (H) + 1-3/4" to the
center of the track. Also ensure a gap of 3/8" - 1/2" at
the bottom. Lastly, ensure the solid wood blocking is
level and leave a minimum of 2" from the end of the
blocking to the side of the opening (as shown).
If installing with an opening for 80" standard door size,
remove the top trim and cut the side trim horizontally
along the height of the opening.
Paint or stain the wood blocking to your desired finish.
