Just looked at specs, they changed the track to a two piece rail... This sucks because that causes the door to "thump" when the wheel crosses over it.

I'm at a loss to know how you got the height measurement from the floor to attach the track.

That guide is the stupidest design ever

the header details would be nice addition for such a great vid ... first timers need to know : )

This guy cares about his customers.

That's crazy. I opened KZread specifically to find a video on this. This was the first suggested video without me searching anything.

Out of all the video's you are the only one to show the right way to do this job the correct way 👍👍👍

I have seen several of these barn door installation movies. *THIS* is the one to follow.

Shocking how much detail and care can be put into something so simple.

I appreciate the way you explain everything you don't rush you don't speed talk now that was a nice demonstration.

Thankful sir, now i know how to install this barn door. Before this, im so confused, cause i have a lot kits in my package but i dont know what should i do. Now me n my dad was know to install this kits cause of you. I can say again, thankful sirr.

Apparently I should have watched this 4 months ago, installed bolt heads out to match track bolt heads😬. Our shop built, and my helper and I installed a 2in, 45x84 white oak door.. Weight Aprox 250lbs. My tips from 1 install of a full size door, I had built 2 entertainment centers with barn doors for kennels underneath. #1 buy longer track than you need, ours 6 inches too short. Which meant the hangers were off-center of the stiles. #2 built a full template out of strips of 1/4 ply wood, which helped immensely on layout. #3 when adding a stained runner behind the rail, keep screws from showing. Top screws were 1 in above the rail, bottom screws were 1/2 up from bottom of rail. Line of sight, you can not see them (definitely depends on what the header height is). #4 make sure your runner (what the rail is attached to) is thicker then base board + 1/4 round. The bottom of our door was 3/8 (1/4-1/2 in was our only range) off the floor, for the floor mounted guide in our kit. If 1/4 round would have been present, we would have had to make the railholder/runner wider. Thick door casing/baseboards/out of plumb walls can affect this as well.

Nice job. As one who has built four custom sets of barndoors (3 and 4 doors per set with double tracks) and installed them myself, I know the trials and tribulations involved, and there can be many. My doors were so heavy though, I opened the wall and installed blocking. That also necessitated longer bolts. Additionally, we didn't want straps going up the wall, which your's didn't have, so I flipped the top half of the bracket over and drilled them. Being that they were stainless steel, that was "fun". Our doors function as security over the windows, so I also designed pin type key hole locks. I would send pictures if I could. Our neighbors are amazed. They think I am a skilled carpenter. I'm not. This is the biggest project I have ever done. It took many months. Just took my time with everything. Good part was, I got a lot of tools out of the deal because I "needed" them.

Good to "need" those tools. They make tackling projects fun. Eventually you end up with a great tool setup too.

Ha. I can relate to to those tools. Honestly the only tool I've got that I never use is the one I thought I'd use all the time. The rest I bought for the one off job, thought I'd rarely use again.. I use all the time. About to crack open the box for my Barn door track set. Wish me luck. Now I'm looking at my windows. I've been looking to upgrade security and safety our wet season comes with some potentially pretty wild winds ... Could be a thing

That helps me out . Our barn door seems to come off the track every time the grandkids are here. Need to add a spacer.

Spencer, I wish you worked on my house. You are so careful to not damage the product and your technique is so precise and accurate. I love watching your videos, it helps me when I have to do some work around the house 👍🏻

It's probably the best instructional video out there. Well done

Found this at the perfect time. I have done a couple of barn doors but this is such a great step by step. I just had a client call me yesterday to install a door. Thanks!

Barn doors are now popular with hotels for bathroom openings. I installed about 80 of these in a Hilton Hotel. They were wider and thicker than these ones, and two on each floor were 48" for handicap wheelchair rated rooms. They had some serious weight to them.

I enjoyed the pacing, length, and user-friendly language in the video. EVerything thing in the video was intentional and relevant to each step. I know absolutely nothign about this world, but after watching I feel confident, with the right focus, I could replicate it on my own or at leastt have an easy to follow process to pinpoint where I made the mistake the begin with. Thank you for sharing your perspective!

Very skilled and articulate carpenter. You did excellent work unlike some of those tract home workers who rush and slop the job hoping the customer won’t notice

I learned a lot from this video. You made it look easy. But then again you are a master craftsman. Thank you.

Thank you for going slowly and explaining everything you’re doing.

You are a great craftsmen. You do a great job teaching/showing. Truly one of the better guys out there. Thank you

YES! At last something that made sense from beginning to end. Well done 👍👍👍

Man I really appreciate all of the pro tips you give in your videos, they are so helpful. Thanks a bunch.

Amazing. Thank you so much for this! I'll be building and installing several barn doors here soon and this is much needed guidance!

Excellent instructions Spencer! Before finding your video, there wasn't anything that provided the nuance needed to install the door hardware. You provided many good tips and your instructions were delivered and demonstrated perfectly. Thank you for your help!

Thanks mate, the tips using the square and the tape made it so much easier.👍

Timely as I have a project in mind. So many tips! Thanks!

Pretty informative. I've installed a bunch of these in the past few years. They're really getting popular

So far the best video on installing this. Thanks brother. Keep up the good work

Excellent description and clear explanation of what to do to install a barn door.

Even though I already know how to install barn doors, I watched your video anyway, because I really enjoy your videos. You do a great job!

Wow 🤩 Love how you went into detail❣️ THANK YOU

I used painters tape for my bolt and handle lines. Great tip Thanks

Great job explaining each step clearly. Excellent tips, too.

This was absolutely helpful! Thank you so much for posting this!!

Really good directional video for hanging a barn,thank you! Great pro tips for me the amateur!

This is I found best explained barn door 🚪 installation.Thank you.

Awesome attention to detail and thorough explanation.

As always very clear video and simple instructions have been enjoying yr KZread work for a couple years. Mucho grassias from 40 year carpenter in Arizona.

Thank you!!! I have had my barn door for months now too scared to install but this video has given me detail steps and confidence to install. Much Appreciated!!

He did a great job, I just finish building the door so the carpenters can install it!!

Did a great job explaining with very easy to follow instructions. I only wish you had explained how to determine the height the track should be hung from the floor particularly if you have floor brackets. I believe there is an equation for this.

Love your Tips Spencer! The 2 inch card board trick and the above spacers, the wall mount for the bottom of the door if you have carpet; I have watched a number of these video's and you are the only one so far that has made that all clear to me! Highly appreciated! You are a great teacher. :-)

Hey Spencer, love your stuff. Just wanted to say it is nice to mark your center points exactly, punch it with a screw and then drill through the door with an 1/8 bit and a drill block to ensure all holes are a perfect 90° before going in with the spade bits. Cheers!

Great video as always, Spencer. Thanks for the linky to the router guide. She's in the cart!👍

Just installed a track with soft closed brackets. Very nice

Thanks this was one of the best barn door instruction videos I have seen👍🏾

So well spoken and detailed. Thank you

This is killer intel. I have a huge Murphy bed in a studio/bedroom. Had two beautiful doors made. This is project 2. Thanks!

Great tips man thank you! I’m about to embark on my installation soon and your video will prove invaluable. Appreciate you!

Great work mate, the little details make a great finished product.

We're installing our sliding barn door today and your video gave my hubby a bit of extra confidence with your tips etc.. good thought to use masking tape, Thanks for an easy to listen to and easy to follow tutorial.😊 my very first barn door 😁 happy sliding!😊

This is the best detailed step by step guide I've watched yet. Thanks...👍💯🎯

Very nice job! Your work is always great.

Good job you broke it down very well step by step. I will be installing a barn door at my son and daughter in laws house and it’ll be the time I ever installed one. Being a wood worker for at least 60 years I will be building the door myself and it should be fun. Thank you👍

Love how even professionals make those little mistakes. Makes me feel better when I do something dumb.. great job, nicely explained..

Thanks for posting this. You gave me the confidence to try this myself!

So clean! Thanks for the tips, I’m hanging a DIY built barn door soon.

Well done. A born teacher. Thank you

Just came across this. Looking to install one, this video was perfect. Thank you

Thanks Spencer great instructional video. You make it simple

Fantastic video, I feel more confident to install. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial! Thank you

Very very good. The piece of cardboard trick is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your video. 👍

Thanks for the great detailed information. As a poor DIYer, I would/might not think of such techniques and procedures!!

Excellent video! Thank you so much!! This is the best video I found on this. Very helpful and informative!!👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for this fab video - mine came with the instructions all in French, and I'd got it all set up ok and rolling ... but couldn't fathom what the round bumpers were for at all from their poor diagram! You saved me from missing out that last step 🙏

Man...I learned so much from this video, thank you so much!

My mounting kit came with very good instructions. It told me exactly where to put the mounting screws for the track - door height + 1 11/16in and for the guides on the door, 1st hole 1 9/16 inch, then from that hole 3 9/16 inc.

Extremely detailed and finished job done. Really love this work.

Your Certainly a Pro Spencer I'm glad your on KZread. I noticed you stop your drill checking drill bit point. I generally drill my finger drawing blood. I'll have to try your method on future projects.

Best video I have viewed. Thank you.

Nice job................... can't wait to see the handle & lock install

Nice presentation, very clear

Very helpful .this video showing to everyone,some extra time and care everything come out perfect

Watched quite a few of these on installing barn doors. This is the best

Well done. Looks really good. 👍

Nice tip with the mail in the centre hole.

Nice job guy! Great instructions!

Great instruction. Thanks man

Great video spencer

Very nicely explained.. Great man...

I replaced our hall coat closet with a barn door, which is nice since the old door would block the hallway when it was open. I bought a slab from a door store that matched all our other new doors we were buying, and they were helpful in picking out the right size to cover the opening. The hardware instructions were straightforward. Cutting a channel in the bottom of the door for a floor guide was a pain without a router. I used a Dremel with a router bit, which was a bit sketch, and slow, but it got the job done. I stuck the floor guide onto hardwood laminate with some 3M red tape instead of drilling into the laminate, which worked great. The only thing that sucks is the track stops that came with the hardware were not adjustable, they only attached to the lag bolts, so I bought one adjustable track stop from a different place, which was too expensive if you ask me, and I should really buy one more so i can open the door a bit more, but it's fine for now.

You are the best man I love your work 👏🏻👍

Hi spencer Great video mate, I can’t believe I’m fitter one of these barn doors next week, what great timing, now I know what I’m doing it should be easy lol love you work mate i’m still learning at 57 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Very good instruction /barn door education. One of the best I have watched. I will only say to show more of the rail parts install. Doing my own today and can not find any that show which way the spacers go. Does the wider end go against the rail ,or does it go against the ledger board. Its a blonde moment!! Since your instructions are the best,just want you to know some of us need a little more guidance. Thankyou for taking the time to make this video.

Thanks for sharing

Great video, thanks for posting.

Very good job and thank you for your help

Your teachings are good

Just finished installing my barn door and it came out perfect. I have no doubt that without this video I would have not been able to get it right because there was pretty much no instructions with my kit. This is the best video that I have seen. Thank you!!!

Awesome content. Thanks a lot. Was very useful.

Very good video a lot of details the job looks great

Great video , thank you Spencer

I suggest to attach the speed square with the wheel hunger so you will have a perfect holes.great video thanks.

Outstanding!! So many great tips here. I’m running into an issue that I wish I noticed before I went ahead and built my door and ordered the track etc. I went to install the header board and my wall has a bow to it. The ledger board will not sit flush. I assume the only way to deal with this is to use shims but curious if there’s another way I’m not thinking of. This isn’t something I planned on and out this project at a halt for the time being. Lol. Nothing is easy. Haha

Wow that was excellent, I bought an 8 foot barn door track, with bypass hinges when it arrived the instructions are pathetic, no written help just really poor line drawings, you have really helped me and made a lot more sense of what's in the box, thank you very much

Awesome, I have a barn door from another place my wife wants installed but it had a floor mount guide that had two pieces to be screwed to floor (mine is concrete) on either side of door and turns out these got broken. My rail was a 2-piece one which joins in middle which makes difficult to mount. This kit looks much better so I will just order the new kit in your link which will save me a bunch of time and grief. I am putting in a large closet/room downstairs and will just replace the top trim with a new white header like you have in yours. However, I looked at that kit on amazon and the floor track/guide appears to be one that screws to floor, not same as one you show in video that screws to bottom of wall/trim.

Recently installed a pair of that exact brand/type of hardware as double doors. Cannot express how important it is to get the rails EXACTLY level to each other. Second time I reinstalled them I used a laser...

I found this very helpful! Thank you! The instructions that came with my kit was overly simplified and tells me nothing.
