He said the door is 81.5 and he needs half an inch for the bottom so that takes him to 82.5 ?

This dude is just a really awesome individual, so talented and skilled in his trade and makes everything look so easy and seamless, and yet so humble.

The discs are to be installed at the top of the door to stop it from jumping off the rail track. The two plastic anchors are to be used to screw the bottom guide in case you have concrete floors.

I’m so happy to have you helping me along. I’m a “DIY” girl and quite often need guidance...Thank you!

I've watched lots of videos on building things in my home and I really like how you explain things so simply and with a sense of humor! Enjoyable to watch ....and Learn! Now I'm going to go hang my homemade barn doors!

Yes! Great intimation but like others have said. The handle is on the wrong side! 😂😂😂

I always watch this channel for advice, and for getting an edge on my home improvement skills. Most of what I know about projects like these, I have learned from this channel. Over the last two years, Home RenoVision has been tremendously helpful. Now, taking what I have learned, I would offer only to install/orientate the bump stop key screws to be on the top, so they’re hidden, and the handle on the left, when opening to the right (handle on the right if opening to the left). I know these guys are very professional, and they are likely installing based on the client’s wishes. I only offer these two cents, has I just recently installed my own barn door in the master bedroom and went through these parts of installation myself.

Came here for the 'handle' comments. You guys didn't disappoint.

Love it When I watch any of your videos it gives that energy to go down to that basement and do something ( it’s been a year and still at that framing stage 🤔)

I love your handy heart technique you add to each project. Great job❣️

I think your hardware installation instructions are the best on KZread. I am grateful because I now feel confident I can tackle my install correctly. Thank you!!!!

Yup - it was obvious as soon as I saw it. The other consideration is that this particular barn door set up is probably ok because there is no real air flow between the rooms. There was no bottom guide to stop the door ‘swinging’ in the breeze.

I did not quite see how the door is holding down at the bottom to the base board. Really nice door and with the mirror, looks fancy! Love watching your videos. Thank you

cant tell ya how many times a GC will have me come out to install these things and there is no backing whatsoever in the wall and they have no clue that that is a problem. I usually will carefully cut out the drywall and implant a mounting board sort of like the one you suggested to put right on to the surface but the way I do it, to keep the door from ending up way too far away from the wall, I "implant"a 3/4 thick piece of wood that can be painted to match the wall color and it protrudes about 1/8" to 1/4" depending on sheetrock thickness ,bevel the edges or ease the edges and it looks really nice clean and professional. personally I prefer not to have the mounts attached to drywall at all even if it has backing behind, some doors are very very heavy and it compresses the sheetrock over time, the rail gets loose resulting in the door dragging on the floor or hanging crooked. I have gone out to a few where this had happened and was hired to fix it. recessed wall plate is the best way to go in my humble opinion.I have also done 1/4" steel plate mounted to the wall secured to studs but this is a pain in the butt ,only do it when the aesthetic of the install requires it.

I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel! I literally stayed up, way to late, just to watch all your helpful videos! (The best part is-I wasn’t even looking for this genre) Your videos are great! Very instructional and helpful! Thank You!

Thank you for the kind words. We are very glad to hear you like our video content.

Just what I needed! I am building double sliding doors with mirrors for my daughters closet. One door slides behind the other. Still deciding if the door that goes behind the front door should have the mirror or chalk board surface to write on and decorate herself as she loves to draw.

I love this !! This legit looks like a barn door. !! Love the texture in that wood !!

Awesome video love the anchors : ) Whenever there's for trim to clear you have to go with a board up top, 3/4-5/4, looks cool with black bolts or ledger locks, I guess you could shim out the top track with nuts and paint then black so long as your mounted solid in a header or so sneaky wise backing like this guy

Those little circles go on top of the door to prevent going off the rail

I enjoy your videos to keep an eye on my contractors(new to the business). I'm looking to see an opening of the wall to install a header for dual heavy glass doors. This video alludes to what I need.

Glad to see that project done! Looks great. I would've put the handle on the left side of the door. Keep up the great videos!

I'd highly recommend trying out the Metabo HPT 36v impact driver... there are power settings so you don't over do it on the lag bolts. (and extra power settings for when you need it..) Pretty great driver.

Pragmatic and honest.Great tips. Great vid. Plain and simple and true. Keep em coming, please. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Nice. I’m partial to mounting the handle on the left, I’m just used to that I guess.

The handle side would be preference for the user...not everyone is right or left handed. I love your humour at the hardware they gave you. Good tips on Jerry rigging. Thoughtful to install a mirror for a teenager!

The header over the door should be enough. But you can find a stud or two in the wall and use those for support away from the door opening. I thought there would be guides at the bottom of the door to keep it from swaying. Very nice custom door, the mirror is perfect. Thanks for the tips.

I always come to your channel when I wanna do things right!

That was so well done! Thank you very much

Very helpful as alway, your videos are entertaining to watch, but even more important is that I always learn something(s) - often many things. On the handle for the door, I do believe the hardware was correct, the machine nut goes on top and takes most of the force, the lag bolt goes on the bottom and is mainly there just to keep the handle from moving around. Think of the front door to a house that has a handle that extends down to grab, the bottom of the handle often just has a more minor type of fastener primarily to keep the handle straight up and down and down and to keep it from moving from side to side. Thanks again for the consistently excellent videos!

I was hoping you would show more of the door guide install on the floor because the kit that I have mentions having to Mitre through the bottom of the door for the guide

Thank you..u saved me a lot of hassle for an unexpert female trying to install this

Need to explain where the black rail (@78") sits over the opening (left to right). Might have to extend 8" past door opening. Most barn doors have a "T-slot" or routered slot on bottom for door guide to prevent door from swinging in/out (3/8" off avg. floor). Your door will be swinging around as it's more than an inch off the floor. Since it's a closet installation, door will be seen from only one side - install is thus easy. Good video!

Great tutorial! Loved the drywall plug moment lol

Thanks for your video. It really helped me alot. I installed a sliding barn door by myself 😊

i believe the discs that you installed on the floor trim are intended to be installed at the top of the door to prevent it from jumping or getting knocked of the track.

After the door is hung you mount them directly on top of the door. It reduces the gap between guide rail and door.

What changes in the over-the-door installation would you suggest for cement and plaster above my door? My home was built in 1925 but I would love a sliding barn door to eliminate the inward and/or outward swing in a narrow space. Could I simply use the wood trim that’s been there for a bazillion years?

This will be very helpful, for me installing in the bedroom

Excellent series. Very thorough.

Went to check on barn doors n hardware. In this video Jeff says to measure from top of door to bottom of roller which he says is 2". But I was told today it's 6" because you have to take in consideration the bracket above the roller.

Hi mate, thanks for the video! I'll need to use a plank to install mine on dry wall. What sort of size and wood would you suggest? rail is 1.8m (~6ft) so I thought of using a timber plank of 15cm (6") high x 6ft long x and 15mm deep. Do you reckon that would do the job?

Hey, wondering how you would go about adding a lock to a sliding barn door and a floor guide to keep it from swinging too much. These types of sliding doors just don't seem very secure to me. Seems like someone could just lift it right off. Are there more secure options and lock options?

I've seen a few of your videos and your knowledgeable. I do have a few questions. Why did the door get cut so short? The door stop set screws should be facing up for esthetics so the left and right side should be flipped. I would assume with the handle on the left side chances are the door will be getting yanked the wrong direction.

Great advice with the screws! Thank you

Dumb blonde question ..... The door wouldn't come off the runner could it ? or is it the weight if the door keeps it on ?
