2PCS Barn Door Soft Close Mechanism Spring Buffer Damper Upgraded Hole-Free Version Sliding Barn Door Hardware for Door Weight 70-160 Pounds Adjustable Door Stoppers, Actuator Spacers Included

I have a heavy set of barn doors in my office that gets opened and closed several times a day. It takes a solid 10 seconds of concentration to close them, as if it hits the existing stop with too much force it'll bounce back the other way. Well no more! This genius little device bolts on, and slowly and gently pulls the door up against the stop. You can literally fling the door open or closed, and it will glide gently to a stop.Install was simple, just look at the cutaway photo on the product listing, and do exactly that. You'll need to attach the small angle brackets which is a slight pain (not easy to get the screw in there) but that's really the worst of it.Here's my super-fast summary instructions:* Attach the little angle brackets to the cartridge, one on each end so it looks like the photo. You'll end up with each bracket looking like a mirror image of the other (one for left, one for right.)* Bolt it onto the rail somewhere over where the door lands in the closed position, and the open position.* Open / Close the door to where it needs to land, then place the receiver bracket into the notch. Use screws to attach it to the top. If there's a big distance between the receiver bracket and the notch, use the plastic shims underneath / adjust the bracket up and down with the little hex bolt.That's it. Legit.It does its job well, it's inexpensive, and really well engineered.

Impressed with the design, although some parts are plastic, I wish everything was metal, however the quality of the plastic pieces is really good so most likely will last for a long time.Instructions were ok, they state an installation video is available on their product description page although no website info was provided. I found the included instructions to be sufficient for install.Installation, for me it was necessary to remove the door to install the parts but that was not a big deal.Once installed it blends very well with everything and does not stand out.Product works well, again impressed with design and simplicity on how it works. I will include this on any barn doors I install in the future.

Fairly easy to install and work perfectly

The media could not be loaded. Overall, good product. The soft-close rails work very well. Quiet, and not difficult to pull the door from one side to the other. Mounted on the backside of the door rail, the soft close rails are almost completely hidden.Here are the reasons I could not give it five stars:The instructions are horrible. There is no website or QR code to see a video for assistance. The video on the listing on Amazon helps slightly. Utube videos are better, but different products that are nearly the same.I mounted the actuator plates flush with the front of the door. This placed the actuator towards the back half of the door width. Once I rehung the door, and started lining up where the rail and actuator at the stop points I realized the actuator barely engaged the rail slide. The height was fine, but the actuator sat almost behind the rail slide and stop. I went ahead and tightened everything in place, and then tried the door. The actuator would slide out from the rail plunger because it did not line up enough. I considered coming up with some type of shim to move the rail rearward away from the door rail. I ended up loosening the screws to the actuator plates (removing the center one altogether), and sliding the actuator forward. You can see by the pictures that it actually hangs out from the front of the door. Can’t really see it unless you are looking for it, but it bothers me.It’ll work for now.My barn door is standard thickness, solid core with glass. So it is not unusually thin. Very heavy but the slide rails handle it very nicely.

Purchased 3 sets of these for some heavy barn doors I recently built. I installed a set on the door that was already mounted last night, took about 15 minutes. The included instructions were easy to follow. They are barely visible on the door rail which is an awesome feature. Once installed the soft close worked as it should on an 8 ft tall 30 inch wide walnut door. I was pleasantly surprised that mechanism didn't balk even with that much weight. The door opens and closes easily and quietly.

Works so well and easy to install.

The media could not be loaded. Our barn door is pretty heavy and these soft closers work like a charm. Holds the door open or closed with just enough resistance that the dogs won’t be able to open. I had these installed in less than an hour after I received them, real easy, just pay attention to the left and right application. Recommend!

It's been a few years since I installed these. Easy install. Easy adjustments. Not noticeable. Work really nice and smoothly.
