INSTRUCTION MANUAL for Installing FURNITURE BARN DOOR HARDWARE NT.1310 & QG.
Instruction Manual for Installing Furniture Barn Door Hardware Shown: QG.1410.01.08 Installation Tools Needed: Comes with: Two (2) Hook Carriers Two (2) Door Stops Four (4) Screws 2mm Allen Wrench Step 1: Installing the Straps on the Door (see figure 1) 1. For a single door installation, center the strap on the stile of the door or space it a minimum of 5/8” from the edge of the door.
Figure 1 5/8” stops Top of door to center of hole Step 2: Installing the Rail (see figure 2) 1. Locate the desired position of the rail on the furniture/cabinet piece. Note: In applications where the rail will be installed beneath an overhanging table/countertop, allow a minimum of 2 1/2” – 2 3/4” from the center of the rail to the underside of the table/countertop. This will create approximately ¼” of clearance between the top of the strap and the underside of the table/countertop. 2.
Step 3: Securing the bottom of the Doors (from moving in and out) There are a variety of ways that to accomplish this. Below are two possible methods. 1. Channel method (see figure 3) a) Within the furniture piece or cabinet design, incorporate a bottom channel the door will ride in. This channel should be slightly wider than the door and deep enough to firmly keep the door in place.
Figure 4a 1/2” 1/2” c) Make sure the groove in the skirting trim of the furniture/cabinet is ¼” wide and ½” deep. This groove should be directly in line with the “fin” of the door guide bolt. Note: For a smoother glide of the door in this groove, insert the plastic channel (part number QG.1313.CH36.07 or QG.1313.CH48.07), into the groove (see figure 4b).
OPTIONAL: Soft-Close Mechanism Installation Although the soft-close mechanism can be installed after the rail has been mounted, it is much easier to access the small set screws that secure the mechanism to the rail prior to mounting the rail. For the soft-close mechanism to operate correctly, the gap between the top of the door and the bottom of the rail must be 1/4”. 1. The soft-close mechanisms come as a pair, left and right, so be sure to install the mechanism in the correct orientation (see figure 5a).
4. With the rail installed on the furniture/cabinet and the door installed on the rail, move the door to the desired closed position (where the soft closure will slowly bring the door into this position). 5. Position the soft-close actuator on the top of the door so that the tip of the actuator rests in the captured position in the soft-close mechanism (figure 5c). Figure 5c 6.
7. Reinstall the door (figure 5f). With the soft-close mechanism in the “loaded” position, move the door until the actuator meets the soft-closure. Verify that the actuator is in the correct position on the door so that the actuator fully engages the soft-close mechanism (figure 5e). Figure 5e 8. Push the door until the soft-closer “grabs” the door and softly closes it. Adjust the position of the actuator, if necessary, to soft-close the door.
