After perusing our catalog, you found the perfect rolling door for your home. You’ve made your purchase (remember to use spring promo code EASTER10 on all merchandise through the end of April to save 10% on your total) and you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your order. Before your rolling barn door arrives, it’s worth the time to familiarize yourself with the installation process.

The best place to start is with our instructional videos. The How to Assemble Your BarnCraft Barn Door video is very helpful, regardless of the type of rolling door you bought. After you’ve watched it, you’ll want to either view the installation tutorial for the single door or double doors. If opted you for a bypass door, we also have an instructional video for that installation process.

As you begin making measurements, this handy one sheet will explain the best process for doing so. You will need to:

1. determine the minimum door width,
2. determine the minimum door height, and
3. check for minimum door clearance.

Assembling Your Rolling Door

You’ve received your order from us. How exciting! Please be aware that the box is very heavy and will require at least two people to lift and move it. In transit, the contents of your order may have shifted so open the box carefully.

Once you’ve removed everything from the box, please read and understand all warnings, safety precautions, and instructions before proceeding. Safety first is always the best practice.

Lay everything included in the box on the floor flat with the stickers showing. The assembly kits includes:

• Instructions/safety information
• Tongue-and-groove planks
• Cross rails
• 2 clamps
• 2 wedges
• Bolts
• Allen Wrench
• Brace(s)

To assemble your sliding modern door, you will also need:

• A hammer
• A pair of safety glasses/goggles for each person involved
• A tape measure

Remember, using glue to assemble your rolling door is not recommended.

There are 10 steps in the assembly procedure. Please review these steps before you even open the box you received from us:

1. Clear your assembly work space. Take your two clamps and lay them down on the floor approximately six feet apart.
2. Take the planks and line them up according to their corresponding numbers (printed on the stickers).
3. Place the planks on the clamps, fitting tongue-to-groove until they are all leveled at the top and bottom of the door.
4. Take one of the wedges and using the hammer, tap it into the space between the top of the planks and the clamp. Repeat this step for the bottom clamp with the second wedge provided.
5. After wedges are in place, measure the door diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left, and from the top left to the bottom right. If the diagonal measurements are the same, you’ve aligned the door correctly.
6. Once the door is aligned properly, place the top and bottom cross rails on the door according to the labeling.
7. Line up and place all brace(s) or rails onto the door as instructed by the labeling.
8. Take the bolts provided and loosely place them into each pre-drilled hole on the cross rails and brace, aligning them with the holes in the planks below.
9. When all the bolts are in place, screw each one in using the provided Allen Wrench. Once you’ve finished, re-measure the door diagonally in both directions and secure each bolt tightly.
10. Tap out the wedges using your hammer and remove the clamps. The clamps and wedges can be recycled, reused, or discarded.

Installing Your Rolling Door

Awesome work assembling your barn door! Now it’s time to install it in the room you’ve selected. This is a great time to revisit the installation video for your door (single or double). Additional tools you will need to install your rolling door are:

• Phillips-head and flathead screwdrivers
• Pencil
• Drop cloth
• Hammer
• Stud finder
• Tape measure
• Ratchet socket set
• Electric drill
• #10 three-inch screws
• Utility knife
• Six-foot level

nce you have gathered all of your tools, follow the illustrated instructions provided in the installation manual. For those who purchased a bypass door, use this guide. If selected the Soft Close option, you will also need this manual. There is a lot of measuring involved so we recommend working through the installation as two-person team, rather than alone.

When you order your modern barn doors, you also purchased a hardware kit. To install the hardware, you will refer to this document and use the directions for the specific kit you bought.

Congratulations on successfully installing a stunning rolling door in your home. Take a moment to admire your fantastic work and invite friends and family over to see how you transformed a room with a simple door.
