Low Clearance Barn Door Hardware & Comparisons of Track Kits

Titus Gilliam

Barn doors make a big impact! But not all openings have a big space over the top for headroom. Reclaimed Lumber Products has invented the lowest clearance solution where there is limited distance over the top of the opening to fit your sliding track hardware.  In stock, now you can purchase through our online store with free shipping for Commercial delivery addresses the Low Profile V Track - Lowest Clearance Barn Door Hardware; it only requires less than a 2" gap over the door slab for the wheel to roll effortlessly along the sliding track.  These complete kits are offered with one piece tracks in lengths from 6' through 20'.

Our V Track barn door hardware kits perfectly complement difficult applications such as remodels with no backing or headers in the wall because the increased strength of the formed channel can span greater distances between mounting points than a flat track, crown molding sometimes is too close to the top of the door opening leaving less room for the track to mount, ductwork in dropped ceilings, basements with limited headroom, extra tall doors that need to be close to the ceiling, extra heavy oversized doors where one needs greater weight capacity, quiet operation of barn doors desired, extra secure mounting of door in track desired where door cannot come out or off of track, no maintenance, fast & simple installation, sleek design (keep it simple),

RLP offers three different basic track kits. All of our track kits are our own proprietary designs made in the USA. All kits come complete with a black nylon floor guide, four 3/8" mounting bolts to attach hangers to slab sized to length for the thickness of your door, the appropriate number of timber lags (stronger than standard lags offered by competition) for your length of track, end stop, pair of carrier assemblies with adjustable axle, setup blocks to quickly mount hangers to door without measuring, one piece track with end stop holes predrilled (some tracks have option with predrilled lag mounting holes). Here are some basic features so you can compare specifications on the barn door hardware we sell.
