Getting ready to install ZEKOO 13 FT 4 Doors Big Spacer Sliding Interior Bypass Barn Door Hardware Rustic Style Use for Four Doors Wooden Kit. Using it for a pantry (opening 2 doors at a time only). Doors will be going wall to wall, so no stoppers on the tracks. Will use bumpers on the wall. But very thankful for the video.
I found you video informative. I have wall that is 9 ft long that I want to cut out for a closet using a bipass door. To get what rail should I get and what would be my opening size.
Hey dude..I think it would have been great if you just show in the beginning of your video how the installed doors work. One has a better picture of what is to come but you have just "instruction" upon "instruction" and no where do I find the final product to view how it works...
I have a a nine foot long closet. The studs don’t line up with the pre drilled holes. Would you drill new holes or use molies? I was thinking to drill holes might weaken the bar. Advise??
I have an 8’ opening and can’t find an 8’ door with 16’ hardware kit. Should I do a single pass kit with (2 )4’ doors? I only have wall space for it to open to one side.
I'm installing four bypass 36" barn doors to cover my 11' closet on two tracks. How should I attach the second outer track to accommodate the second set of doors? I have the expansion brackets, but the instructions (Winsoon Hardware) are vague to non-existent on that part. The way I'm installing them, I want two of the doors to cover half of the closet with the ability to open 1/4 of the closet (one door width) by rolling behind/in front of the adjacent door. Thank you! Great video, by the way! Best one I've seen yet. Oops, forgot: I want the doors to be staggered (Left side: one behind the other // Right side: one inside the other). Should I just hang them on the tracks that way, or does it really matter since they're on the same track and I can roll one at a time or both?
Thanks for watching the video, and for the kind words…I think I understand your question, but if I miss the mark let me know and I will take another shot at it. It sounds like to have them “rest” like you describe (one behind the other on the left and right) you would need to put the doors on different tracks to have them line up. It sounds like the door stops are going to be critical in order to get the doors to stop where you want them to; just remember that they will not slide over the lag bolts, so you will need to have them close to the right spot before installing the rail on the wall. Pertaining to the second outer track, I think from looking at the pictures of the Winsoon hardware that it would be similar to the Zekoo installation, so you would have to install the back rail first, hang the brackets for the second rail, and then hang the second rail on the brackets. I wish you luck in your closet project!
@@Therealethanparker Thank you very much for your answers! Truth be told, when you were showing the instruction pages from the Zekoo rails, I thought you were showing the Winsoon instructions. They are exactly the same. No. Difference. At. All. It’s like looking at a Ford Taurus and a Mercury Sable next to each other, or a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercury Cougar. You may have to go back a few years when they were still making Mercurys, but you get the idea. So, your answer was encouraging! I was mainly concerned about the expansion bracket for the second track. Those looked different in style but not functionality. Keep up the good work, and please stay safe and healthy. You are needed.
Great vide and very informative.. I'm actually in the process of getting ready to do this in my mom's Tiny house, her closet is set up just like yours. I have some extra 3/8x61x96 MDF Panels. I was gonna cut them to the right length and width so I can use them for a double bypass door. Do you think the 3/8 thick MDF Panel will be ok? I know MDF wood has pro's and cons.
Hello! If I am understanding correctly, you are asking about using the MDF for the doors themselves; I actually do think that could work. You will need to make sure you don’t have any screw holes near the edges of the MDF, because it could break easily there. The other thing to look out for is moisture…if you seal or paint the MDF it should be fine.
@@Therealethanparker , yea I figured since I have some extra sheets that I could use them. Not sure what color they'll be yet, but I know I'm going to have to prime them at least 2 times before I do the actual color. I've been building my mom a tiny house for bout 2 yrs. And no, there won't be any moisture issues with the location of them. I'll be doing some more videos on my channel. I'm like 85 or 90% done with it.
I have a quick question and I’m hoping you will reply. I can’t find a double barn door to cover 61 X82 gap to my room. Home Depot only sell single barn door at 36X84. Is it possible I can buy two separate barn doors and connect them as one like a double barn door? My concern is the hardware kit because this will be a first DIY project for me.
If I am understanding correctly, it sounds like you could use two single barn doors to cover your gap. I like my barn doors to be larger than the opening in order to make it harder to see what is inside the opening from the side. If you used the 36x84 doors, and your opening is truly 61x82 not counting trim, that would give you 9 inches (4 1/2 inches on either side) of extra horizontal cover that you could spread over the sides of the door frame…I hope that makes sense, but long story short I think a double barn door might work best for you!
@@Therealethanparker So if I buy two separate single barn door from Home Depot and install it as one double barn door, will I have any trouble connecting the two considering they have two separate hardware kits? I’m concerned if the double barn door hardware kit may be different from a single barn door hardware kit. Sorry for the questions, I’m a newbie on DIY
@@bayarea6766 So if you use two separate doors, you will need to make sure your hardware kit has enough hardware for both doors. You would need an extra set of rollers for sure…that would let the doors be on the same track, but meet in the middle of the opening.
@@Therealethanparker man thanks for the feedbacks. I was able to install my double doors yesterday successfully. Only minor issue I came across was a little minor gap when the two doors meet in the middle. The bottom was perfect but the top part had an 1/8 opening 🤷🏽♂️
@@bayarea6766 I’m glad it went well for you! I doubt many people would see the 1/8” gap that you noticed…that is the curse of doing things yourself…you see all of your little mistakes that do not matter as much to other people.
We installed double barn doors on a single winsome track. They keep sliding closed, and we didn't want to use the floor spacers because they are a nuisance. Do you have any suggestions? Could we convert the single track to a double track bypass?
The instructions ARE horrible! I was disappointed by the big space between the two doors. Also trying to determine how the floor guides should be placed on the floor.
@@Therealethanparker i actually used one per door. I placed them towards the middle, where the doors slightly overlap. They are never exposed as a result. They worked very well. Unfortunately the instructions say to route out a groove on the bottom of the door. As I used hollow doors that cut out all the support at the bottom.
I agree with you on the monstrous gap between the doors. Just installed these in my pantry and it looks unfinished. Kind of disappointed they didn't think of ways to engineer the hardware so it wouldn't leave such an unsightly gap.

One of the best guides I have ever seen.
Thank you!

I think it would look better if the top 1x4 had been a 1x8, on top of 1x4, so it looked solid and not pieces in . Good job, thanks
Appreciate the video. My only question is, does Thanos know you’ve got his glove??? :)
Question, do the front rail holes have to match the holes from the back
I found you video informative. I have wall that is 9 ft long that I want to cut out for a closet using a bipass door. To get what rail should I get and what would be my opening size.
Thanks for making this video very helpful, just want to know what was the size of your door ? Thanks again.
Good stuff!! They look great!!
Thanks for the information!
Awesomeness! Thanks
Love this
Thanks for your feedback!
You're right.Tricky.😅

Make sure they're level
It's called a speed square, not a triangle 😂
What door handles do you use on a double by-pass door?
Y workday
The instructions ARE horrible! I was disappointed by the big space between the two doors. Also trying to determine how the floor guides should be placed on the floor.
If you figure out the floor guides, let me know…that is one part that I have always struggled with.
