DIYHD 63in Bi-Folding Sliding Barn Door Hardware,1 Piece Sliding Track Top Mount Roller,Kit for 4 Doors(NO Door),Fit MAX Door Width 59in,Rustic Black

Easy to install. Works great with a standard bifold door.

I've been looking for a way to close off a finished closet opening nearly 48 inches wide. It is near our main entrance and a set of doors there will be very noticeable. Traditional sliding barn doors would require another several feet of track and space beyond the woodwork, and there is not enough room for that. Double bypass barn doors were an option, but had some disadvantages such as double tracks. And of course, traditional big box store bifold doors are cheap and are an insult to almost all your senses. They're flimsy, noisy, the tracks are weak, and usually they're not real wood.With one exception, hardware in this kit is made to bear a heavy load. That's good because my four doors weigh a total of about 50 lbs. I like the industrial look of the matte black. The track is about 1/4" thick (actually 6 mm), the steel hangers are heavy, as are the stands that hold the track off the wall. (The wheels are nylon (?) and quiet). The design is made for relatively thick doors so I had my carpenter make panel doors of bead board fir in frames that began as 1.5" before planing and finishing. The doors stand off the closet finished opening by about an inch. It could be closer if you go with a thicker door, but some of that space is needed when in outer door pivots.My only caution to purchasers is about the four most important fasteners that stand off the track from the wall. In case you want to mount your doors over a sheetrock opening, they provide these stupid little plastic inserts that expand behind the wall as the screw goes in. This set up would last only a few days before my doors, which are pretty typical, would pull it off the wall. In my installation, the standoffs for the track are screwed to the 1 x 5" trim. Four lag screws are provided, but when installed they protrude less than half an inch beyond the trim, and into the sheetrock. In other words, the door trim is bearing the load of the doors. If the lag screws were 3.5" long then they would anchor in the header behind the sheetrock.If this bifold sliding barn door kit fits your need, I recommend purchasing, but I would also head to the local hardware store to buy some lag screws, probably 1/4' but could be 5/16" and a little bottle of flat black to make them match the other hardware.

We installed over wood panels so it wouldn’t smash the drywall. There are no words in the instructions- only diagrams. But it was easy enough to figure out what went where. Only issue was finding a 15mm drill bit for the stopper on the bottom of the doors.Basics instructions fyiBest with 3 people.Had to furr out the closet opening because our bifold doors were meant to go inside the opening instead of outside and thus smaller.Mark center of top sliding bar.Hold bar up and drill the 5 holes into wood stud. Attach the bar.Attach 4 plates at the tops of the sliding doors.Drill 2 holes for stoppers in bottom of doors at edges. Temporarily tape the stopper to bottom of doors.Put the doors on the track via the 4 rollers. Do not fasten. But be careful because they could fall off.Align doors as desired.Remove tape from stopper and mark where it hits the floor. Remove doors.Fasten stoppers to floor via 4 screws each.Put doors back up and tighten with Allen wrench.

Nice looking and functioning door hardware. Just make sure you check the dimensions of the door ( including thickness ) that you plan to use. A solid wood core door I believe is a must, as some of the screws are pretty long.

I fully intended the install of this to be DIY, but when I busted out the instructions and it was just photos and some metric measurements that weren’t entirely helpful (given that you can use any height door, the measurements aren’t super clear) I decided to just call in a professional. Even with my local pro handyman doing the job, this baby took a few hours. He also fashioned two little extended anchor points for the bottom, outside anchors. I’m using bifolds that just cover the space, so if you went slightly oversize, you may not have that need. In the end, I’m in love with how it turned out. It looks fantastic and given that it’s on a laundry closet and I don’t have children or anything in my home that is rough on doors, I think it’s very sturdy and will work really well for me. In the end, factor in professional install costs. This ended up being a far more expensive project than initially anticipated, but it turned out better for it.

It was a unique application so we had a professional install it, but this is a really solid hardware set. The doors roll and swivel with ease and it looks great. Highly recommend

My husband built a door and used this hardware. Easy to install, holding up well
