Thank you so much. I watched this video a few weeks ago and thanked you for giving me the confidence to do it myself. I'm 62 and still did it by myself. Not without problems with a header I needed, doors lining up properly, and holding the rail in place to mark the holes. I love my double doors so much. Thank you thank you 😊

@johnwhite2634 2 года назад

Thanks! I just completed mine and got a little extra info from watching your video. Something to add… my 5’ opening has a 2x6 header above it. All openings should have a header of some sort.

@Kerry6691 Год назад

John did this allow you to install the track without a backer board? How did you line up holes on track outside of opening? I am hoping to go without a backer board but hubby says wont work without. Thanks.

@johnwhite2634 Год назад

@@Kerry6691 My double header board is in the wall above the entry. I installed a 1x4 backer board on wall/header board so the barn doors will be properly spaced away from wall to slide without rubbing on the trim.

@johnwhite2634 Год назад

However… if u don’t have trim then u may not need the backer-board unless you can’t get the bolts into the framing. The bolts that hold up your track need to be in the framing or the back-board which would be bolted in the framing (vertical 2x4’s on 16” center in wall).

Thanks for your video. Best for beginners yet. Question, you say make pilot holes larger for 2 doors to close without space in between. Are the pilot holes the same holes designed for the Rollers that's already pre-cut? Not clear on this point. Question are Rollers universal to hang on any track or proprietary to each company's track? I want to add another door is why. Question to cover the opening door space I would need the full door size or two half size doors with additional rollers to close yes or no? And thanks for your answers. Thumbs up to you.

Great video👍.....question just bought a kit for double doors.... I noticed you didnt put a stopper between doors???? My kit comes with 4 .....2 on each side and (2) inbetween the 2 doors??? Is that right???

@OzoneMe03 2 года назад

Any recommendations for type of door that is good at blocking noise? I mean, a regular traditional doors, works, fine, so I don't necessarily need to block more noise, but I am scared that there will be more noise that escapes the room.

@twatts1523 Год назад

Same concern!

@WayPastCrazy2525 2 года назад

Question: Any way to have both doors open apart by pulling only one handle? Like is there a pulley system you're aware of to do this? I'm liking this split door for my bathroom but don't want it to be a burden having to use two hands to open both doors, especially considering it'll be used multiple times per day. Thanks!

@ketchup521 3 года назад

Hey! Super helpful video. I have a question. Are there always studs on the part above the door way? My stud finder can't find any studs.

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

There’s typically studs but if there isn’t or you can’t find them them, you can install the backer board into heavy duty drywall anchors.

@JohnLee-sz6ns 2 года назад

Question.... If I'm doing this downstairs, do you still put the guides on concrete and if so what's the best way of doing so

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

You have two options: 1) Use hammer drill to drill guide into concrete 2) Mount guide to baseboard or wall. I’m going to try one of these…www.homedepot.com/p/WINSOON-4-8-in-Sliding-Barn-Door-Floor-Guide-8-in-1-Adjustable-Floor-Guide-for-Bottom-Roller-and-Wall-Mount-System-2-Pack-GCM5155x2/315203132?MERCH=REC-_-pip_sem_mobile-_-315202990-_-315203132-_-N&

Will an inspector question the quantity of electrical outlets if they are located behind the doors? Will final electrical inspection fail if the doors covers an outlet? Has anyone been asked to move or add an outlet?

@juicyj11 2 года назад

Hi I’m wondering how I can keep both doors from sliding to one side! We have the barn doors to our bedroom and would like to figure out a way to have actual privacy. When they are covering the door entry my kids are able to slide it to the other side and walk in to the room!

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

Hi Jessica - the kit should come with door stoppers that go in the middle of the rail to prevent doors going to same side. In the top middle of this linked image you can see what these look like. Also, make sure rail is level which helps keep doors from moving on their own. www.homedepot.com/p/Boyel-Living-10-ft-120-in-Black-Steel-Straight-Strap-Sliding-Barn-Door-Track-and-Hardware-Kit-for-Double-Doors-with-Floor-Guide-X002AFTOBF-LTC/312383083

@BoobooOreo 2 года назад

Is 7 feet wide walk-in pantry enough to have two barn doors? Thank you!

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

Hi - I this so but you’ll want to check the door specs and your space on either side. My opening is 5ft and the track is 12ft, so an extra 3.5ft on either side of opening. For 7ft you’ll probably have a 14ft track. Make sure you have the space for that is the biggest consideration. If not, and you have more space on one end, you could look for a double door opens to one end and overlaps when open. Hope this helps! Good luck.

@seanajax2544 2 года назад

What are the dimensions on one door?

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

Hi Sean - Each door is 36” wide 84” tall. Good luck!

@rolandperez4284 3 года назад

do any tracks align with studs?

@FullDadMode 3 года назад

Mine didn’t due to my opening placement. The spacing between bolts can align to studs, just depends on where your opening is relative to studs.

@TonyaPar Год назад

How does it look from the other side?

@FullDadMode Год назад

Looks like vertical wood planks, imagine the front without the cross boards. Make sense?

@robertwhitten3379 2 года назад

hey, what length is your track? im assuming the doors are 4x8'?

@FullDadMode 2 года назад

Opening is just under 4’x7’ and each door’s track is 72” - hope that helps! Thankfully I had enough space on each side of opening to accommodate the long tracks. Good luck!

@jessieurgea9899 Год назад

I have trim on the whole outside of My Closet should I take it all off before Barn Door install or just adding a 2in backer board be enough??????

@FullDadMode Год назад

I would take the trim off, it would likely drag against the trim. It’s easy to remove trim with a pry bar, fill the nail holes, then finish with touch up paint. You could also try it with the trim on and if it doesn’t work remove after install since you can simply take the door off the track to remove trim.
