DIY barn door track hardware tutorial & supplies needed
1.
Two 3 1/2 inch (one set ) wooden wheels.
PS. 29,000 months, 300 days, 62 hours and 59 minutes of setting up an ecommerce store and having wooden wheels made, we have a FANTASTIC way of selling the wheels or full door track hardware kits to you. The only part that you would need to purchase is the flat track. (less than an additional $20 in supplies)
2.
Flat bar :
Width = 3/16 inch thick x 1 3/4 inches wide.
Length = Double the width of your door and add a few inches for safe measure. You don’t want to cut it so short, that your door will fall off the track. That would just be embarrassing.
I totally did that. I would never do that.
3.
Nuts/bolts to attach flat bar to the wall. I put in a ton of photos for you to stare at so you know exactly what they look like. If you want EXACT numbers, you better come over to my house.
Be forewarned, you can expect popcorn for dinner.
Note: I have also just recently created a new Ebook instruction manual for the door track hardware installation. It’s 50 pages of exact instructions and detailed photos.
Here’s the book right here: How to make your own door track hardware.
Sample from the Ebook…
Save money and time
In this book, I show you how we made our door track hardware for a total cost of $140.
Track $20 in supplies + one set of wheels/hangers/door stops $120 = $140 total
Boom. Done.
Compare that cost of up to $800 for sliding door track hardware on the market today.
You’ll save moola. Big time.
4.
Two flat bar hanger brackets to hold the door on the wheel/track. Each bracket is 12 inches long and has an offset bend at the wheel.
*** The nitty gritty details are in this eBook. I pinky swear promise.***
5.
We use our extra flat rod to create door stop . This prevents your door from flying off your track. Been there. Done that. Got the poster. It was an ugly poster. Pffft.
6.
Use an old door. Preferably a sexy one. Think door porn. You will be fine.
7.
Lightly sand the door in places to clean it up a bit. Give it a finish for extra sexiness and make the door colours pop. I used a matte/satin finish.
May the force be with you. The door force.
Remember, when one door closes, another one opens. Excuse the pun. hahahaahaha.
Have a beauty day !!
Cheers!!
