First, check whether the wall is solid. Solid wood barn doors are heavy, so the beam walls must be load-bearing solid walls. The walls must be checked before installation. Hollow brick or foam brick walls cannot be used for barn doors.

Drill a 19/32 in (15mm) hole at the top of the barn door for a 1/2 x 4 1/2 in connector bolt, insert excess threading into the drilled hole, and have it flush against the top of the door.

Use strap as template, mark and drill holes for #5/16 screw bolts. Use 5/16 x 2 1/4 in screw bolts and 5/16 in hex nuts to secure barn door-to-door straps.

5. Slide hangers into the box rail. Vertical adjustments are made by turning the hex nut on the top of the door strap with a wrench. Lateral adjustments are made with a slot in the door strap.
