Installing the door hardware is easier so start there.
Installing sliding barn door hardware.
For double doors locate the studs on both sides of the door opening.
Using a stud finder and a level hang the mounting board on the wall studs.
The boards should be as long as the doors and about 1 inch or 4 cm wider than the track.
The kit comes with a handy metal measuring tool you can insert in the groove to simulate the rail.
Once located drill pilot holes with a 1 8 drill bit in the top bolt location then drill with a 7 16 drill.
For single doors start about three or four inches up on the hinge side of the door opening and continue for the length of the backer board.
I used 3 wood screws to attach it and made sure i place a screw on every stud.
Slide the bolt through the hole and mount the rolling hardware then drill the bottom hole.
The wheels have a groove in the middle for the rail to rest in.
Use the stud finder to locate and mark the studs above the door.
Place the strap on the face of the door with the wheel side facing towards the back.
Measure and cut two lengths of mounting board for each barn door.
The door must be no thicker than 1 3 4.
