ZEKOO 8 FT Bypass Barn Door Hardware Kit Double Track Low Ceiling Bracket with Metal Hanger for Double Sliding Barn Door (8FT Bypass Kit)

I have two doors at my home entryway that lead to a guest restroom and laundry room. I fell in love with barn doors, however I wasn’t sure how to make it work with the thermostat box on my wall. I did some online research and found out about bypass doors structures. I ordered this set on Amazon and the project turned out amazing. You get access to two tracks with this unit and the doors can be allowed to cross over completely or there are provided stoppers to stop the doors from moving on the track. At the bottom my contractor fabricated an extended piece of wood on each door with a center groove to serve as a track for the provided anti-jump discs. I have a 7 year old so these ensure that the doors don’t fly off the track when opened and closed. If you are considering a bypass unit, this is a great deal with solid and sturdy materials. My doors are about ~50-60lbs each and this unit holds up like a champ. Pictures included to show the project before and after.

Okay, First the good. The packaging was good. It arrived on time. All the pieces were included. The rollers work great. Now lets get to the meat of the subject. The reader can decide. I remain undecided. I have had to drill new holes in the steel rails that the rollers operate on. I did not want to use the drywall anchors to mount this. I wanted to go into studs. I followed the directions on measuring and laid out the lines to mount everything and did not account for the fact that the rails have to be perfectly level. Shame on me, I should have thought about it. There is adjustment in everything.... the holes have slop. I am still trying to adjust to get things right. I worked on this for 4 hours one evening getting the hardwear attached to the wall. I thought I would have a little time today to mount rollers to doors and hang them. 6 to 8 hours later I still have one track to fine tune. The one bad thing is the junction pieces to join two tracks together could use some improving. I built my doors and mounted the rollers following the directions and had to grind down one of the joint pieces to make it work. I could not adjust to compensate for the rubbing issues. Still adjusting..... Not for the average homeowner. I needed a drill press and a metal grinder to complete the job. That is allThanks for reading if you made it this far.

I make and install barn doors for a living, and this was the first time I'd used this company or a bypass door system. First, the packaging. The cardboard pkg in which the rail kit came was falling apart, having split in several places, exposing the contents. Had to check and make sure everything arrived (it did). Second, instructions are TERRIBLE. They are hard to read, tiny, and confusing. Third, the measurements are WRONG on the instructions. I made a drilling template based on the instructions and measurements given, and the door BARELY clears the rail. There's no room for the safety bumpers to go on, AND you can't do a true bypass with the doors, because the door hits and scraps the low-mounting bar coupling bracket. Let's talk about that too. The bracket, used to join two 8' rails together, is only about 2-3 inches long. Even when connected, both bars flex and bend because there's no support. It's poorly designed, to say the least. We figured out how the brackets sit, and there are several options for mounting the hardware, which is good.Overall, the kit worked, but I wasn't super impressed with it, and the installation took approximately 5-6 hours to get everything up, adjusted, and then tweaked to keep the doors in place, bumpers installed, etc. Instructions could be much clearer, measurements more accurate, and definitely have a helper to install this system!

It is a very study heavy track and system. Very sleek. But the directions and direction images are terrible, tiny, and confusing. It is all in pieces, packages not label for what use..its a big jigsaw puzzle you have to figure out. We actually went online and zoomed in to see the profile pic because according to their directions the installation has the spacers reversed. Should be longer in back snd shorter spacer on front track. We spent hours figuring out the measurements to locate where main track was to hang. Finally just got the 2 doors, installed the hangers and took measurements from bottom of roller..took less than 20 minutes then.

This hanging hardware worked perfectly for what we needed. It is sturdy and elegant at the same time.

Mine is a 9' bypass, so the following applies to that -- I think it applies to others but can't confirm.First, be careful not to over-tightening the lag bolts -- to tight and your bolt caps will drag on the wall. This applies to the inner rail on a bypass like mine, and I'd guess this is true for the rail in a single config too. Most of us will have the lag bolt tightening into a stud through a layer of drywall, right? Well, the manufacturer creates these with very close tolerances, so the cap nuts on the back of the door hanger hardware, if all is done properly, will just be a few millimeters from the wall, maybe 5-8mm at most. This is a problem because if your mounts crush into the drywall much at all, it's easy to eliminate that gap. That's with the caps tightened all the way to the end of their threads, so thinner doors won't help (mine were standard 1.5"). SO: Tighten ONLY to flush and a little more if your wall surface is drywall!!! (( workaround if you've already done it: if you replace the cap nuts with normal nuts you can regain a gap and it's maybe a couple $ at most))Second, I really wish the rails were more flexible with mounting locations ... These rails are *SOLID*, and you're really not going to want to drill new holes. But if you're in a space where the positioning of the rails needed doesn't allow for a lot of side-to-side adjustment, getting the existing holes aligned to wall studs may simply not be possible.With that said, once we worked past those trouble spots, they work brilliantly and seem extremely solid, so still giving it a mostly good review.
