ZEKOO 5.5 FT Single Track Bypass Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit for Double Doors, Bypass Barn Door Hardware, Flat Track Roller, One-Piece Rail Low Ceiling (5.5FT)

This hardware worked out great. It's very heavy duty and made well. We converted used sliding shutter patio doors into barn door sytle. I bought the 9 ft single bypass track and my opening is 8 ft wide, each door is 48" wide. The only small issue was the bolts that are used to mount the bracket to the doors were too long for a 1 inch thick door. The company mailed me shorter ones very quickly and for free; however we were so anxious to start the project, we went out and bought shorter bolts. Since we had to remove casing/a frame from the old shutter doors that came with the house, we had to install new casing around the patio door opening. We used left over 5 3/4" baseboard that our flooring installer gave us. It worked out perfect. Thanks to other reviewer pictures and tips to give us the idea. At minimum we had to mount a board at the top to ensure at the end, the rail was mounted into studs. Because we initially did not plan to put these doors up as barn door syle, they hang a little higher but my husband was creative on making a tall enough door guide. He mounted the door guides that came with the kit onto a block of wood and it's also working out fantastic. It's a must to use a door guide for our doors because the weight was pushing them inward. I also bought the handles off Amazon too.Tips: Don't use the anchors, install into studs - you might need to mount a board up to make this happenBuy shorter bolts or pre-order from the company ahead of time if necessaryTake your time, measure carefully, read the directions carefully and look at the pictures. Trust the measurements they provide and look at the pictures because those help with making sure which is front, back, top or bottom to certain pieces. Make pilot holes first to prevent splitting. We also used masking tape to plan where the holes where go.Cons: bolts too long, but easy fixOverall this project took us a couple days due to prep work. If no prep work needs to be done, I would say installing the kit is a couple hours work.

Great door hardware, easy to install

Worked great to build sliding barn doors for my large closet. Rolls smoothly and looks great.

I am really pleased with the quality of the hardware, although it would be much better if the rail came in one solid 10' piece instead of a couple of fives with a bracket. I understand that shipping out a 10' long package would add extra costs, but trying to install the full length rail connected by a mending plate was a challenge. Even with a helper, the connecting plate would get bent went we tried to place it above the closet to mark the attachment holes. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you experiment with a mock up of the doors after you've attached the rail--attach the hangers to a piece of plywood or something and hang it from the rail. I found that if I followed the instructions on the set I received, the interior door was 1/8 of an inch higher than the outer door, and it was so close the rail that the anti jump bumper couldn't be used. In other words, if you drill the holes for the hanger screws on the interior doors the 1 9/16" and 3 9/16 distances from the top of the door, the interior door will be 1/8" higher than the exterior door. Because I used scrap wood before drilling into my doors (aged cedar from an old fence), I was able to catch this discrepancy before I drilled 7/16 holes in my real doors. Maybe this was a quality control issue, but I am so glad I did a mock up before drilling holes in my doors--it would be a difficult mistake to recover from.Just installed the second set of hardware, and am happy that I kept the notes from the first install. I remembered to raise the hanger screw holes on the inside (straight) hangers up an eighth of an inch so the bumpers would clear. This time those holes made the gap for the bumpers a little wide, so I just used a couple of washers to make sure the bumpers did their job to keep the doors from jumping the track, although I will say that this set of doors is pushing the weight limit of the hardware. Even still, the rollers move flawlessly on the rails. I have two more sets of closet doors to go, and I will totally use this hardware.I have installed the other two sets, and the screw holes were not as out of whack as on the first two sets, another reason to DO A MOCK UP. Install the hardware and attach one of the hangers on a strip of plywood about as long as your door and adjust accordingly.Update:I've seen some negative reviews about this door not accommodating 1 inch doors. IT DOESN'T, which the product description does mention. Maybe it should be in the main description, but you should first read the specs before you buy anyway. I didn't, AND the first time I purchased them I had made my door TOO THICK, and to hack away at my 2x4 frame to get the total thickness of my doors to less than 1 3/4" max thickness (circular saw + multi tool+HOURS, I'll had a photo), because I had already firmly and forever attached the reclaimed pine fencing boards to the frame. Once I learned that lesson and installed my doors, I appreciated the design of this hardware.Some reviewer have complained the doors don't hang perpendicularly. I have installed this hardware on 4 sets of double single bypass doors--(3) 8 foot wide door sets and (1) 6 foot wide door sets, and they are super heavy. I live in an oldish house, where nothing is plumb. My doors tended to free hang slightly into the closet, so I installed only the interior floor guides to force them out.. I used a level or carpenters square to make sure the doors were perpendicular to the floor and screwed the door guides in exactly where they would force the doors to be perpendicular. The attachment holes for the guides allow some positioning flexibility. There is no visible rub damage because they are on the inside of the closet, and because of the overlap, you can't see them, and they open and close smoothly. I included some pictures from my initial review.Update: I am really happy with the quality and customer service from Zekoo. We have just installed 3 sets of the double bypass door hardware and they could not have been more communicative. This is a company that really wants to please its customers, and the price for the value couldn't be better.

Was easy to install and worked perfectly for me

I bought this thinking it wasn't as heavy as it is. This is super great quality but i had to return it i was trying ro uae old closet doors which are hollow and they are too flimsy for theae brackets. Great for real solid wood.

This is a great product that I've previously purchased. I've compared most of the products in this category and by far I'm extremely pleased with production and the value of this product. I've recommended it to others and will continue too. Ensure that you do a dry fit prior to mounting so you can verify stud placement and if you do this first then installation is a smooth process.The only issue I had was that the box had been completely destroyed by the delivery company, but thankfully I was here upon delivery and was able to verify that all the parts were still here. Other than that I have no issues.

Quality products, fast delivery.
