SMARTSTANDARD 6.8 FT Heavy Duty Sturdy Sliding Barn Door Hardware Kit, Black, (Whole Set Includes 1x Pull Handle Set & 1x Floor Guide) Fit 36"-40" Wide Door Panel (I Shape Hanger)

I have seen a lot of opinions on these being flimsy or not strong enough. People didn't like that the track was not one solid piece or even 2 pieces. I must admit that when I opened the packaging, I was a bit surprised by the configuration, but I decided to give it a shot. I should also mention that I bought a used item to save some money. There were no instructions at all but a reasonably intelligent person can figure it out or look up instructions online. Having said that, value for the money, quality of track, I have no problems with. I am sure that when properly installed, this track will still hold 200+ pounds. My only question would be, how heavy is the door that you want to hang? All in all, it was a great buy and works just fine. Given the fact that I paid less than $50 makes it an even better product in my mind.

Purchased and installed this kit in February 2019. At the time we had two foster kids whose play area was on the guest side of the house off of the kitchen. We decided to do a barn door over the hallway entrance, which required a custom door due to the arches. Aesthetic - (10/10) The hardware looked great right out of the box. The matte finish was very consistent over all the components. We really love the bar pull for the door and the recessed handle on the backside. The industrial style looks great with the dark stain over pine that we chose for the door. The finish has held up well to daily use for well over a year now. Installation - (9/10) As far as the kit is concerned, installation was super easy. As a word of caution, I would strongly recommend installing with a header board (see photos). It is highly unlikely that the mounting holes and stand-offs will line up perfectly with your studs, and the header board style looks more polished in my opinion. Our wall had a noticeable bow over the 8 foot span, but that didn't affect the installation or the motion of the door. I also recommend having two people to hang the rail. Function - (9/10) My only gripe about this hardware is that the center of the rail (where the two rail sections meet), the sections don't QUITE line up. I don't think there's any adjustability in the doubler plate that connects the two (see photo with the plate and four bolts). The result is an audible "knock" when the rollers pass over the joint. I could probably take a file to the joint to smooth it out, but haven't done so yet. Aside from this "knock," the rollers are extremely smooth and quiet when opening and closing the door. The handle is very sturdy and comfortable to use. Durability - (10/10) Well over a year after installation, this door is working perfectly. The finish on the rails, handles, rollers, etc. is holding up nicely. The motion is still smooth and quiet. Value - (8/10) At the time of purchase, I honestly hadn't done much research into how much these should cost. I had about $200 in materials into the door itself, so the $105 price tag seemed reasonable. I have since seen similar kits for as low as $60, but reviews on those kits are very much hit or miss. I had zero concerns about this kit (aside from the alignment of the two rail sections as noted), so I'm not too concerned with the price. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase and are likely to use this same kit for future installs, if the opportunity arises.

Very easy to put together. Very well made. Looks great on our screened in porch. The handles that come with it were a little large for our application but were very sturdy.

I found the kit to be easy to install, and my door looks great but the directions had two errors that I found. The drill bit size they said to use to drill into the wall was way to big for the bolts given. I knew better so went smaller. But, when I hung the door it scraped the floor to my surprise! I measured precisely like the directions said. I had to cut the bottom of my beautiful door by 3/8 of inch. I could have moved the top rollers down but the wood was stained and the prior holes would have shown. Definitely an error in the directions as I read another review that said the exact same thing.

Great quality and functions really well

I am very impressed with both the quality and ease of installation with this product. While not exactly a traditional use for this, it is holding up extremely well as the door to my outdoor BBQ shack. I am so happy with my choice to purchase this kit. Every aspect of the installation was straightforward.

Chose a sliding door for compact bathroom to save on space. This hardware is heavy duty and easy to install

Good Quality at a pretty good price point.

This barn door hardware kit is awesome! Super sturdy, great quality and the door slides very smooth. Requires a backing strip behind the rail ia the door and hardware is fairly heavy. Install is straightforward and final install looks great. Much cheaper than similar products in store. This one comes with more than just the rail and sliders, you get the handle and bottom guide hardware as well.

In love with it. Easy to install.Definitely recommended
