The online site made the configuration and order process easy. Plenty of options to pick from. We ordered a rail set for our 10' x 9' barn door. Outside install. Appears to be very good quality. Customer service was very helpful answering a few questions. Shipment was quick.

Very pricey, Hard to sell to costumer because of hardware costs . people that are borderline on product will back away cause any door will be 1/3 of cost of barn doors

fast delivery and easy to install. exactly what i needed to keep the door from knocking door chimes off the wall.
Anonymous Customer - 07/20/2019
Great finish, sold and well made. The teeny, tiny nails that come with it however, we only received one and it's impossible to nail into the inside of the pull so we had to find another way to mount it. Disappointing but I would order again I think, especially from this company

I was contracted to install a sliding wall art display for the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California. The Box Rail was constructed in a very good manner. Unfortunately I did not get all of the materials to hang and lock the rail to the hangers. Luckily a couple of dollars of hardware at Home Depot resulted in an adjustable hanger that I designed. The product worked flawlessly and the customer was happy. If it wasnt for the subpar locking mechanism for the rail to the hanger then everything would have been perfect.
Company Response
Hi there!
Thanks so much for your review. We're glad you liked the box rail, and we apologize that the hangers didn't function the way they were expected to. If you are willing, we'd like to get more details on specific issues you found with the hangers so we can look into improving the design if necessary. Feel free to email us at [email protected]. Thanks again!

We have installed several of the Franklin AutoSwing operators and have been very impressed with the ease of install and final performance. When we have run into any issues, either with installation concerns (headroom, out-swing vs. in-swing, etc.) or programming questions, we have always received prompt attention and have had all of our questions answered satisfactorily. We have specifically been impressed with Kalee and her thorough knowledge. She has been tremendous to work with and has provided great service, including sending out updated installation literature to ensure we are covering all of the bases. It is rare to have such a competent support group these days, and we will continue to use and recommend these operators due to excellent customer service/communication and a solid product build.

Rock solid and substantilal. Totally silent with the hush wheels and added soft stop cn't be beat.It is just beautiful.
Anonymous Customer - 05/22/2019
Look great on the door. Installed two, back to back, on a 1 3/4 inch door. Worked perfectly. Cutting and chiseling is a challenge but there really is not another option.
Miss J - 05/21/2019
So glad I could get thee anti-crush rings as they were not available in Canada and did not come with the barn door hardware package sold here. It not only saved the drywall but allowed me to omit using a header board. Ordering was easy over the phone (best option for Canadians) and it arrived in 3 days.
KMPitt - 04/03/2019
We purchased sliding barn door hardware from another manufacturer a couple years ago but at that time they did not make them with the ability to add the soft close feature. We saw this on a friend's door recently and feel in love with this feature. We had to find something that would fit our existing hardware and this worked perfectly! It was easy to install although there aren't detailed directions, just some pictures.

We were looking for a substantial handle for our barn door. We purchased the box rail system and added this handle. It looks great in our log home. Can’t beat the grip and quality of this handle. Thanks so much !

It looks very nice, but it only comes as one so if you have 2 sliding doors you would need 2 of them. I had ordered 2 different kinds and had to us both. You do t see the guide for the inner door so they didn’t have to match. Weird

Unsure about the purchase of a door for a bathroom, we took a chance on this barn door company. All questions were responded to quickly and the shipment was terrific. The door came in a protective crate. Everyone has complimented the quality and heaviness of this barn door with a five panel frosted glass in beechwood. We planned to paint it white, but the wood was so nice we stained to match bedroom floors going into the recently marbled master bath. We love the door and the way the hardware provides easy sliding.

Charlie - 10/01/2018
I ordered the door in mahogany with frosted glass. The quality of the wood and the craftsmanship are outstanding. I finished the raw wood with 3 coats of hand rubbed marine teak oil, and the wood simply comes alive. If you ask they'll mill the mortises for aero track hardware on the end of the door for a small charge. My only minor complaint is the frosted glass could stand to be "frosted" a bit more to make it truly privacy glass.
Anonymous Customer - 09/25/2018
a generally nice product but it arrived later than promised when ordered and was deeply bent in two locations- we had to repair before install.

The opener performs as advertised. It is quite and is exactly what I needed. Just make sure to read the installation directions carefully if you have swinging doors as they are not very detailed. I’ve had it installed for two weeks so far, and I am totally satisfied. I only wish I had found the product sooner.
Ben T - 07/31/2018
Awesome product. My only complaint would be that the instructions could be a more detailed and the print a little larger. The basic unit was easy to hang, but we ended up figuring out the softstops....worth the effort, but could have been easier.

I was looking for beautiful, high quality door hardware. I ran across Real Sliding Hardware and decided to order hardware for two barn doors we recently installed during home construction. This hardware is exactly as described on the vendor's webpage, it is absolutely gorgeous, and delivery was immediate. I recommend this product highly and would use this company again.
Nick - 07/21/2018
The soft close struts don’t fit between the rail and the adjustable door stop. Bar is 1/4” thick, strut body 3/32” or a fuzz more. Adjustable stop is 5/16 inside dimension...no worky! The soft close should be prettied up a little too since it’s fairly visible from the under side when installed. Especially given the upgrade price for them. Other than that very nice stuff. Bars, holes, stops, anti-crush bushings...all VERY consistent and high quality.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
