How to specify
To ensure your door sits the right distance away from the wall, select the correct bracket option, either narrow or wide. Narrow brackets typically suit doorways with flush detailing or slim architraves and doors. Wide brackets are suitable for thick doors or doorways with non-standard architraves and skirting. Check the required measurement from the wall to the outside face of the door (including clearance and architraves).
40 - 61mm (Narrow option)
62 - 80mm (Wide option)

Options
- Tracks are available in pre-cut lengths from 6 – 19 feet (1.8 - 5.8 metres). The system is sold as a complete kit including: track, fixing bracket and hanger pack for one door.
- Hanger Packs include everything required for a single door up to 180kg, including two hanger brackets and bolts, two end stops and a T-Guide. Additional hangers can be used on very heavy doors. Stainless components are available on request. Contact our sales team for more information
- CS SofStop® packs are available for doors up to 100kg. Order one pack for soft close or two packs for soft open & close.
Installation
There must be enough strength in the wall to mount the track. The stud wall must be level and solid enough to support the door weight. The track is supplied with coach screws suitable for use with timber framing. For fixing to concrete walls, masonry anchors must be used. Installation is done in three simple steps:
- Fix the bracket to the wall through the pre-machined holes
- Fix the track to the bracket and adjust out from the wall
- Lift the door onto the track and position the T-Guide and end stops
Versatility
The CS Barn Door Track has become the default choice for large, heavy or oversized doors. We have supplied track for a number of unique projects, including multiple doors on one long track, exterior tracks with stainless steel components and extra heavy doors over 180kg.
Wooden doors are typically used to create the traditional American Barn Door look. For a modern aesthetic, try a flush painted door or a CS NewYorker. Glazed doors enable light flow through the glass when the door is closed. View more photos of sliding door tracks.
