Since you all were soo great at answering my question regarding door thickness, I'm wondering if you would share what type of door pull you used?

This was on my wife's closet and I made a barn door out of T-8 siding and rough sawn cedar. My wife picked out a dark metal handle cast to look like a tree branch. I would suggest you pick out a style that reflects the rooms motif,be it modern contemporary or whatever. On the flip side sometimes doing the opposite and mixing old and new which some people would call eclectic is pleasing to the eye.So basically I didn't help much.But there is something else you can do,look up images of sliding doors on Google images and find something similar to what you have that appeals to you.

I just used a plain black Stanley Gate pull that I purchased at Lowes for about $5.

I haven't put a door pull on. It's a 6 panel door and I just grab it and slide it.

I used some old salvaged doors, so I had plenty of depth. The thickness of the door depends on how much room you have in order to close it and clear any door frame or shelves inside the space. Also, even though it comes with screws and everything you need to install, you will still need at least an inch so you can securely attach the plastic rails. Hope this helps.

I built my door and used a piece of 1"x 6" matching stained wood behind track for support which added distance for clearance over the door molding. (tried to attach a photo for you to see but did not work.)

One of the youtube videos I watched had a method of modifying the limit switches really easily (before you install) to allow for a few more inches - I did not use this as I do not have the issue - also understand there is a diff model that has a longer rail or extension kit. I love this door and all the guys in my neighborhood have come over for a look.

Hello Amy,Door comes with all hardware required to install in a door opening. Door is about 3/8" thick. Hope this helps.Donald

thickness is no problem - 8' is too big a span - I think it only goes about 7'. My door is 6'7" and it was about maxed. Maybe they make longer elastics etc for the extra length but the regular unit doesn't span 8'.

I have a fairly heavy door with slates. It came with two hinges, the top one went bad after about 20 years. I tried to just replace that with a standard quality double hinge from Home Depot. It did not work, too weak. So I bought this double pack. They are a little stronger than the standard quality I got at Home Depot. That said, I did use both of them on my door, total 3. I would suggest using 3, better to have it and not need it... Push comes to shove you can always pull the middle hinge and reposition to put all four on the door. Note: I am a do-it my-selfer and not a contractor or skilled carpenter. I have a fairly heavy door with slates. It came with two hinges, the top one went bad after about 20 years.

I just used heavy-duty 3M double-sided tape. It's the same strength as the tape they use on their wall hooks. I hung this vertically inside my cabinet door as it was too wide for the door.

I one I -purchased jsut slide on the bottom of the door. I had to trim it though due to its length. I used a pair of pvc cutters to do the trimming.

I installed this in a 3/4th inch board and put a frame around the opening. I used a piece of half inch thick pine board and cut 1 inch wide strips to make the frame. This made the opening thick enough to screw in the cat door.

A follow up to my previous response... there are at least two different interior door styles !!!

Yes this door door does tighten up to that thickness. I used mine on some plexiglass and it worked fine.

My door is also 1 3/4" thick. The instructions have no commentary as to how anything goes together, at least mine didn't, however after going over the parts at length, I realized they included (2) sets of (4) bolts that go through the door. One group was for thinner doors and the other (4) was for a door such as mine (1 3/4"). I would imagine 1 3/4" is about the max...Hope that helps...sorry for the delay,computer was down. Merry Christmas!

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

Sorry this took so long. It is down on my dock and I have been having knee problems. Door opening is 24 inches. Door takes a little jockeying around to install. Does not open and close smoothly, but works. I am happy with shed For me it had to fit in a certain space. This was the only one I could find in this size. Most were larger. If I was putting it out in the open, I would get something sturdier. But if it is next to a sturdy structure I think it will be fine. For me it was the right size, right price and is working well for storage on my dock. Not hard to put together except getting the door right is a little challenging.

LE Johnson company, pocket door hardware... The one I got was commercial grade rated at 300 lb. which is more than needed but the results were amazing. You just slide it along with one finger.

It takes about 10 lbs of pull to make my door release from the magnetic door stop. That is added to a large spring's tension trying to close it. So if you can measure the force trying to close your door, and it is less than say 8-10 lbs, might just work. You could always buy one, try it. Amazon often has "used" units a a nice discount.
