1 – Locate studs and ensure that no outlets or light switches will be covered when the door is in the open position. Using the track as a guide, drill holes for the track on the header board or directly on the wall if you are not using a header board.
2 – Next, align the header board and track with your pre-drilled holes and attach using wood screws for the header board and included hardware for the track. Be sure to install the provided stoppers on either end of your barn door’s track to avoid certain disaster.
3 – Attach rollers to the top of the door, using a level to make sure that they’re straight. Sliding barn doors from Sawmill Designs come with pre-drilled holes for your hardware to make this step simple.
4 – Install handle on the side of the door farthest from the direction that it will slide. The center of the handle should be around 36” from the bottom of the door.
5 – Use two sets of hands to lift the door and place the rollers on the track. Take in the ultimate moment of satisfaction of watching your custom barn door slide with ease along your newly transformed wall.
