Anyone think this could be used to mount a door to the wall to the underside of a 2X6 so the door would then ride along the outside wall instead of in

I can't see where that would be a problem. As long as you have a horizontal surface to mount the track to with proper clearance it should work quite well, it's just going to be an external (and visible) door. I have given thought to doing this for my bedroom closet so that I don't use any extra space inside the closet. Remember that all of the hardware will be totally unconcealed, but the good news is that it's not a bad looking piece of equipment! Good luck with your project!

Johnson makes a different track that is specifically for this "barn door" style of installation. It is designed to attach to the wall allowing the door to be installed the way you want. The proper wall mount units look very good compared to the hack you propose.Wall Mount Track & Hdwe 72http://www.johnsonhardware.com/wmindex.htmLook for the 2610F to start with.

Absolutely will do fine, I used the 300 lb. unit by Johnson Co. for a simple kitchen to laundry room pocket door redo; it glides along easily. If you account for the movement back and forth from the wall it will be ok. In my pocket door install there are guides along the floor that keep the door in line.

I think that should work. I used it to hang doors that run on the outside of a closet, so this is similar to what I think you are trying to do. The 2x6 (which is really 1-1/2 inches thick) should be thick enough to mount the rail to, or really close to it. There will be about 1 inch vertical gap between the top edge of the door and the bottom edge of the track, so you may need something to cover that space. Let me know if you want pictures of the way it worked for me.

If you check out the customer images, you will see that I did something like this. We attached a 2x4 to the wall and then mounted the track system on the bottom of that 2x4.

I suppose it would work, but it's pretty narrow. Unless you're only protecting a narrow part of your wall, this might be a little awkward to stick all over. Maybe a sheet of clear plastic from the hardware store would work better. Or a door stop.

Maybe with some DIY modifications. It comes in two pieces, one on each side of the door. If you put it through a wall, you'd need longer screws and something to infill the gap, the width of the studs, between the two pieces of drywall.

Yes if the wall is close to the door opening. I saw it mounted on the outside of the door and that worked

It is not set up to wall mount as is. The door has a push button to open, so if you can somehow glue it to a board then wall month the board there is no reason it shouldn't work.

Haven't had experience with this mounting but I would think if anything, to use double sided tape to mount due to size and weight of it.

It does need mounted, and no it would not be something to put on a door. The backside has a lip so it sticks out from the wall 3/4".

It would work directly mounted onto the wood drop through or top mounted, it all depends how you want the board to ride

If magnets stick, this would, especially if lots of flat area. It comes rolled so you may have to use electric taoe or other such tape to hold it to the door until it loses its curl. Sounds like a great idea.

I don't think this would work. There is no solid way to wall mount. It is heavier than you think.

Im not sure. I saw 1 guy on utube had it mounted to his garage wall but I think it would be safer and easyer to just put it on the door. Whatever you put it on just make definitly sure its very stable.

I think it would be fine for that purpose. It comes rather flat, before it may actually need to be used, and so wouldn't be a hazard to step over. If it's unseen behind a door, for that 'just in case,' it should work well.

My applications for this product have always been through concrete walls. I believe that if you just use the outer portion of the door it would work for you.

I think you would have to get different mounting hardware, or mount it on a board of door thickness and then attach the board to your wall. Ours hangs over a closet door. Sorry can't be of more help.

You'd have to play with it to get it adjusted properly for that application. Perhaps you could aim it at the top of the door so people walking around went under the beam. The beam isn't particularly narrow but the edges are fairly sharp so it's possible (I think).

It would seem to me that this will work fine. I used this successfully on an exterior stucco wall to mount a mail box. They key is to use a 1/2 inch drill...the round type. This way the drill bit edge will not get caught in the expanded metal lathing.

It would be best to use as it states a wall mount. The tires will rest on the floor, possible roll could case a problem.
