How to install sliding door?

[Serendipity]

We have these sliding doors for a double door frame and would like to know what track do we need for these doors and can  a barn door track be used?

Hi @Serendipity,

We'd have to have a look at what the rollers on the top of the door are to confirm, but they look more like the type that would be compatible with this Cowdroy Arrow Track Door Set than a barn door track.

If you can snap some close-up photos of the rollers and pop them in the discussion, that would be a great help.

Also, if you can see any identifying marks, such as a brand or item number on those rollers, this would also help.

Let me know how you go. I will assist further when you can get back to us.

Hello @Serendipity 

Thank you for sharing those extra photos. It appears that this door was either used in a cavity slider or a wardrobe door. The sliding mechanism attached to it is very similar to the Cowdroy and Roll Track systems. Can you use barn door track fittings for the doors? Yes, you can use barn door tracks, however, keep in mind that the door will be lifted to a higher position and it might be necessary to add extra timber to the bottom of the door.    

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
