TRADITIONAL or HOUDINI CONCEALED SLIDING DOOR HARDWARE
Traditional barn door hardware or concealed
Traditional barn door hardware is shown throughout this catalog (see page 10) and features visible door rails mounted to the wall. The barn door used with this traditional hardware hangs from visible door rollers which roll on the door rail. All of the weight of the barn door is supported by these rollers and the wall-mounted door rail. The patent pending Houdini Hardware™ features concealed rails and rollers — this hardware is not visible on the wall, as it is mounted at the bottom edge and the back top edge of the door. Wheels mounted at the bottom of the rolling/sliding door roll directly on the floor, and carry 100% of the weight of the door. Since the door rolls on the floor, this system is not compatible with most carpet — only a very tightly weaved carpet may be compatible. The hardware is easily mounted on the wall, and is not visible even when the door is fully open or fully closed. An aluminum door track is mounted on the back of the door at the top edge. This Houdini Hardware requires doors that are 1-3/8” to 1-3/4” in thickness, and no more than 48” wide, with a weight of less than 175 pounds. Order two Houdini Hardware kits for a double-door installation. The Wall Mount is fixed to the wall at the top of the rolling door with 6 fasteners. Two rollers guide the door and keep it attached to the wall. The Wall Mount is 5.9” wide and features a vertical adjustment knob and two safety anti-jump guides to keep the door secured to the wall. The Houdini Hardware also features 2 Soft-Close Dampers that will engage when opening and closing the door to provide a smooth, safe operation.
The Houdini Bottom Track includes 4 wheels — 2 wheels on each end of the track. These two pairs of wheels keep the door rolling smoothly even across grout lines on tile floors or joints on a wood floor. This black anodized aluminum Bottom Track can be quickly mounted under the door (Surface Bottom Mount – drawing at left below) or may be mounted inside the bottom edge of the door (Recessed Bottom Mount – drawing at right below) to completely hide the track (drawing at right below). This requires a wood door that is 1-3/4” thick and a routed side-to-side slot in the bottom edge of the door.
