Never seen a rolling barn door with trolley bracket on the inside face. Self tapping screws drill out to much wood to hold well in wood. Have used brush seals on rolling doors before. On wood doors I apply wood strips on the inside face around the edges after hanging to close the gap. I also progressively shim the track out of parallel to the facade and adjust the trolleys on their brackets back to parallel. That way it pulls away from the stops on opening just like an overhead door without friction.

With the trolley bracket on the exterior side of the door the trolley wheel can be ajusted in/out to ride on the aluminum track of the brush seal holder. Pictures of this detail can be found on the website. We have had good sucess with our self-tapping fastners holding solidly in wood positioned 1ft centers.

what would you recommend , we have bypass sliding barn door style at our hangar/shop one door is rarely ever opened, but we want it operable if we need to, also there is nearly a 6-8 inch gap between the doors, and the bottom of the doors hangs into a trench, no rollers, out side is corrugated but vertical. the inside door is the one used most frequently?
