Surface Mount Bi-Pass Barn Door Hardware Set

Using barn door bi-pass hardware is a unique way to create a multi-dimensional sliding barn door system. While typical barn door hardware uses one track with standard hardware, a bi-pass application needs two set of hardware: a standard hardware set and track as well as a bi-pass hardware set and track. Additional mounting hardware is necessary as well as a built out soffit or a non-soffit spacer kit.

The hardware options can accomodate 1-3/8″ or 1-3/4″ door thicknesses. Both sets of hardware are capable of holding a door that weighs up to 400 pounds. Recommended Ceiling Clearance on this hardware is 12”
