Standard vs Pre-Hung

The Standard system is our most popular and basic set of hardware. The hardware comes with hangers, a track, and all the components to hang the hardware. The Pre-Hung system takes it a step further, and simplifies installation. The track comes installed on a header board. This leaves installation to require attaching hangers to door, and then screwing the header into the wall. With a standard system you need to first attach the bolts through the track and spacers, attach the stops, and place the hangers. Learn more about the Patented Pre-Hung option below.

WHAT IT MEANS

The track arrives installed on a header board. Instead of assembling the loose components of spacers, lag bolts, stops, and stop bolts, you simply have one piece ready to hang.

HOW TO INSTALL THE HEADER

Simply place the header over the opening and screw through the header and into the studs in the wall. Screws will be provided in the order.

Single Door System

Select a single door system when you are looking to purchase a hardware set for one door. This option will include all the components, hangers (2), and track to hang your single door.

Bi-Parting (Double Door) System

Select a bi-parting door system when you are looking to hang 2 doors over one opening. This option will include all the components, hangers (4), and track to hang 2 doors on a single track. This option includes 4 hangers, one track at specified length, and all components to hang.

Single Door System

We realize there are some creative people with creative ideas. Select this option if you need a system that is different from a single or double door installation. You will then be asked to specify the number of hangers you need to complete the job. If you don’t see what you need, email us at info@artisanhardware.com.

TRACK LENGTH
The standard track length should be twice the width of the door itself. If needed, note that tracks less than twice the width may prevent the door from opening fully, and tracks longer will allow the door to slide further past the opening.

PRE-DRILLED OR NOT?
Pre-drilled holes will have standard 16″ on center spacing. This is ideal for installing into a full headerboard or backing in the wall support. If you are attaching into studs, you will need to drill on-site to ensure your holes match up. Chrome and Stainless tracks must be pre-drilled and either be attached to a full headerboard or backing in the wall support, or provide custom drill measurements in the project notes.

Select the handle style and quantity for your project. The handle will be sent in the same finish color as the hardware.

Flush handles are intended for use on the inside of the barn door as the inset design allows the door to be fully opened. Pull handles on the inside of the door will bump into the door frame or wall when opened. Select the quantity and the finish color will match the rest of your hardware.
