  • Components List

    Track

    4” lag screws (black have 5/16” head or silver have 3/8” head). Here are the recommended numbers of lag screws for each length of track: 6’, 5 holes; 7’, 5 holes; 8’, 6 holes

    End stops: two 5/16” x ½” button bolt with acorn nuts.

    Two carrier/ hanger assemblies. Note axle bolt is in the hole that is 3/4" from the top of the hanger plate. Additionally there should be four 3/8” bolts, eight washers, and four acorn nuts to mount hanger plate to door. Door mounting bolts are usually 1/2" longer than the thickness of the doors.

    3” long x 1” tall floor guide and two mounting screws.

    Two plywood 3/8” thick x 1 ¼” wide spacer blocks for setting carrier assemblies on door to drill for mounting holes in door.

  • Clearances Needed

    1 3/4” to centerline of wheel from wall on track puts the back of a 1 ¾” thick door at roughly 13/16” – 7/8” off wall and a 2 ¼” thick door at 9/16” - 5/8” off wall. The bolts provided to mount carriers to door decrease this clearance by roughly 5/16”; if this is a problem you can countersink bolts into back of door or substitute carriage bolts. These measurements are from the back of the track which mounts to the wall. Make sure that the back of the door and bolts will not rub on any trim, thermostats, pictures or anything within the full range of opened and closed door positions. If you do not have enough clearance, you can also add a ledger board behind the track as a spacer; make sure this is securely mounted so as to not compromise the attachment of the track to the wall.

    The default setting to centerline of wheel is 7/8” from back of hanger. Move washers around on axle if necessary to have center of wheel from back of hanger plate to be half the thickness of your door so the door is centered front to back under the wheel. One can also adjust how well the door hangs plumb by moving the spacers on the axle, but make sure both wheel assemblies have equal number of washer spacers on both sides of wheel. If door is hanging to where bottom of door is leaning into the wall remove spacers between wheel and hanger. Floor guide will be necessary to make door hang plumb. 

    Clearance under the door is recommended ½” - ¾” and must have a minimum of ¼”. Over the top of the door 3” clearance is needed for wheel to spin freely. 

  • Sizing Sliding Door Slab to Finished Opening

    We recommend a minimum of 1” of overlap on all three sides. The drawings on the next page show 2” on sides, 1” on top, and ½” gap under door for demonstration purposes.

    More overlap ensures the door will cover the opening better and not allow as much gap to show around the edges even if not shut fully.

    To calculate door slab width on single door add overlap on side times two plus inside dimension of opening.

    To calculate door slab width on pair of doors take half of inside dimension width and add one side of overlap dimension for each door slab.

    To calculate door slab height take inside opening height subtract desired gap under door and add desired overlap on top. This could place the track over any trim that is over the top of the opening. Either the door slab needs to be adjusted in height so track can go above trim or trim needs to be flat and fully extend for full width under track.

    Note all these dimension are easier to calculate if opening is just a sheetrock opening with no trim. You need to consider what the trim will look like with door in open and closed position. How much of the trim do you want showing if any at all?

    For door height be sure to consider where the mounting lags need to go for mounting the track to the wall. They will be centered about 2.5” over top of door slab. Be sure there is proper backing and load support for lags to attach to at these points.

  • Installation Steps

    1
    2
    3

    Decide how you want the floor guide to be installed. 

    If you want the alternative option shown in picture with double guides, be sure to order an extra floor guide. Otherwise cut a 1/4” wide kerf centered in bottom of door. To determine depth of kerf cut, subtract desired gap under door from 1” and add 1/16”, so for a ½” gap under door you would have a 1/4” wide and 9/16” deep slot/ kerf. This is easiest to do with a router and a slot cutter. 

    Have vertical part of floor guide centered in the same plane as the door for setting distance off wall. Be sure to reference off same point on the wall plane that track is mounted on; do not reference off face of baseboard. The points need to be aligned or door will not hang plumb. Center of door and center of vertical part on floor guide need to align. To find that vertical center point of door measure from back of door to wall and add half the thickness of the door. If floor guide’s screws are going into material other than wood such as concrete in the floor, you will need to use different and appropriate fasteners. 

    On a single door the guide is centered on the track from left to right. In any case, the door needs to cover at least half the floor guide whether it is in the full open or fully closed position. Install the floor guide to the floor. If the door properly overlaps the opening, then the floor guide should not protrude into the opening. 

    (stop here and go read the bottom of this step first for horseshoe shaped hangers) If you mount centerline/bolt holes of carriers 2 1/2” in from edge of door, this will have edge of door stop flush at end of track based on predrilled stop holes in track. The stop bolt hole is also drilled 1 ¼” in from end of track to center of hole. Utilizing our predetermined pattern plywood spacer block (only works with rectangular shaped hanger) with edges of carrier 1 ¼” from edge of door (bolt holes 2 ½” from edge of door is center of carrier) will allow for a track to work that is exactly twice the dimension of the door slab. This pattern will also center the carrier on a 5” wide stile. Here is a formula you can plug in different values if you like to calculate track length: (Door Width) + (Distance From End Of Track To Center Of Stop Bolt Hole) - (Distance From Edge Of Door To Center Of Carrier) + 1.25” = Track Length / 2 For double doors on a single piece of track just don’t divide the formula by 2 at the end. 

    At this point you may want to consider painting, staining, or finishing your door slab if necessary. Allow proper curing before handling door. 

  • Will fit in only 3" of clearance over top of door slab.
  • Custom designed by RLP meant to operate safer and smoother. Installs faster and easier than most flat tracks.
  • A complete new and different approach for design in heavy duty barn door hardware.
  • Proudly made in the USA. Unique proprietary design by RLP!
  • Channel shape of barn door track adds extra strength and rigidity which allows track to span greater distances. Heavy duty version of our V track made with formed 3/16" steel and double ball bearing glass filled nylon wheels can support much heavier loads and big barn doors.
  • Wheel spacing from hanger is adjustable.
  • Special design for obscure stop at end of track- no metal on metal clang!
  • Better for remodel installations where one needs to drill into studs rather than a solid header for attaching track to wall. It can span up to 24" between attachment points within length of track (5 lag screws minimum, though, per door). Special channel shape of track adds strength where it can cantilever past attachment point, too.
  • Simple setup during install with spacer blocks mounts wheel exact distance over door slab so that it cannot jump out of channel and no anti-jump blocks required. The added security of this design insures safe operations and function barn door track.
  • Can be order with or without mounting holes predrilled in track so you can match the track to the mounting points available on the wall.
  • Complete kit for track includes all hardware you need to mount your door. You do not need to purchase any extra lags or other fasteners.
  • Colored kits are coated with matte textured, industrial, baked on powder coat- not spray painted like many other brands.
  • Extremely heavy duty design can support larger than normal doors if installed with proper backing in wall and track properly attached with supplied lag screws to wall. Specially formed shape of track, extra thick 3/16" steel, and double ball bearing wheels support sliding door slabs easily.
  • Save money by combining this track kit with a one of our barn door slabs for an additional $85 discount.

  • Glass filled nylon wheel with two sealed ball bearings for long life, quiet ride, and corrosion resistance. RLP proprietary custom design made just for this track.
  • 650 pound load capacity per rail.
  • Requires 3" of clearance over top of door slab.
  • Track is a one-piece track that does not require standoff spacers. Distance from back of track which is usually mounted directly to wall to the center of the wheel is 1 ¾"; this means that on a typical 1 ¾" thick door there is about 1/2" clearance behind mounting bolts in back of door. The track can be mounted on a ledger board to increase this distance off the wall.
  • The hangers are slightly under 8" tall and extend down from the top of the door 5". The rectangular shaped hanger is 2 1/2" wide.
  • All mounting bolts are 3/8" diameter.
  • Track and hangers are made with 3/16" thick steel. Our strongest, heavy duty industrial version of track.
  • Precision formed with CNC break and laser cut for precise, repeatable accuracy.
  • Available lengths of 6, 7, 8'.
  • Please note if you are ordering the Unfinished Bare Raw Steel option for color it has no seal coat or finish on the raw steel. The steel may have rust and discoloration. It is raw steel with varied colors shiny silver, dull grey, to rust pitted. The different components may not match exactly in color with the unfinished option. Most customers order this option for an industrial look, or they intend to finish themselves with another treatment.

  • Track has stop holes predrilled. For installations with a solid header order predrilled mounting holes in your track; otherwise for installations with inconsistent mounting points order track with no mounting holes so you can drill to match your layout. Normally you should order track twice the width of your door.
  • 1/4" timber lag screws in the quantity matched to length of track you ordered.
  • Two end stops.
  • Floor guide is black, 3" long, 1" tall, 3/16" thick and made with glass filled nylon. Floor guide is meant to be screwed to floor with two black #8 screws supplied (alternatively could be epoxied to floor or over concrete customer may need to supply concrete anchors. Recommendation is to mount door 1/2 - 3/4" off floor.
  • Two carrier assemblies which include hanger plate; axle; spacers to adjust depth of wheel; double ball bearing, glass filled nylon wheel; mounting bolts corresponding to your thickness of door; washers and acorn nuts.
  • Two wood spacer blocks for easy install of carrier assembly to door slab.
  • Not included - Installation, door slab, handle, privacy lock, or tools.
  • No anti-jump blocks are required because of the unique design of track and installation method.

  • Four color choices standard: raw unfinished steel along with these textured powder-coat colors black, rust bronze and satin nickel. Please note that these pictures are of the actual product but the color may look different in person than on this screen. Also note that we make no representation that our color name matches any other manufacturer's color. All floor guides are black nylon.
  • Specify the thickness of door mounting on this track so we supply the correct length mounting bolts. The bolts supplied are typically 1/2" longer than the thickness of the door.
  • If you are doing two doors per track, order kit for 2nd door on single track. For example this would be mounting two 2' doors on a single 8' track. Alternatively for larger byparting doors with one opening to the left and one to the right such as two 3' doors just order two complete 6' track kits.
  • We can custom build a bracket for you to mount this track across a hall-way where you don't have any backing or attachment points. This track can span across openings if supported on each end due to its higher strength channel design. Be sure to consult with us first, though, for span distances and weight restrictions.

  • RLP warrants this hardware is free of defects and is guaranteed for ten years if installed properly.
  • Customer misusing hardware or not following installation directions voids warranty.
  • Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear especially on finish.
  • All products sold by RLP are non-refundable and non-returnable since most are made to order.
