I need at least a 12 foot rail system for two doors - If I buy 2 systems will this work for this configuration?

I drilled two holes at end off both tracks to joint them and I install a strip of steel metal about 1/4 x 6 inches on the back if the rail ( $2.00) hardware store . It works perfect I can move both doors side to side with no problem

I have not installed my tracks yet, our home is still under construction. I will find out in 4 to 6 weeks! I have the same set up and I bought 2 track systems in hope that I would be right.

I used 2 tracks spaced an inch or two apart to cover 2 doors. I like the way it turned out

You won't get a seamless installation, but with a careful install you can make it work. You'll need to make both doors open "outwards" in relation to the center.

If the doors do not have to jump from track to track and each door can stay on one track then it should work fine. Answer #1 said it perfectly place the adjoining ends in the center of the opening and sliding doors outward. It would probably look cleaner to find a 12' rail. I just put two separate doors up in my basement and they are awesome. Easy install and look great.

I have mounted two kits side by side; butted up to each other for a special door. It seems to work fine. I just made sure that they were lined up perfectly. Good Luck!

It sounds like you mean to turn one 36" door into two 18" doors. I suppose that could work. By the way, the 80 is more like 78. I had to add wood to the top of the door frame.

I would think if your door has one closer, not two, you should be fine. I have one of these on a wood storm door and another on an aluminum storm door, both with one closer and they work great.

Yes, but you need both the rail inserts and the cross bars to make this work.

I think either one would work.. if you use the 12" high one it will just extend a little further above the rails. won't really matter...

The rail needs to be long enough to accommodate both of the doors - 48", plus the opening of the door, so 72" will work. It really depends on the "look" you are after. If you want the doors to be centered on the bar, then you will need the bar to 94".

Should work no problem but you need the rail inserts Ray mentioned. Cross bars warked great after I bought the inserts.

I would guess that if it is exactly 12" this might not work, as it has to have a little clearance in the back when installed, so it might hit a door in the front if it is exactly 12"

You will need two if you want to use the full 6ft opening. Total length required is 144". Make sure you have 36" on either side of opening to accommodate door and rail.

2 rails come in a box, so I would think that one box would do unless you want extra support then get 2 boxes and use three supports (head, center and feet). I used on a full size bed, one at the head and one at the center.

Im sure you could make it work. These rails have several holes where you can place a bolt. Depends on the spacing of the holes though. May not line up quite right.

they are designed for 2x4 or 2x6 rails. As you probably know a 2x6 rail is actually 1.5x5.5 inches so it will work with a 5 3/8" rail. There are holes in the unit for screwing them into the rails to secure them in place.

I also have a 2 door. I bought the 4 piece set, I used the two long ones and they look great. While I there is no official place for the short ones I intend to put them somewhere else. You could do the same or try to sell the short plates. Either way, definitely worth it.

It is just different length rails with bolts for attachment. The mounting holes may line up, but more then likely you would have to drill your own holes. No reason it couldn't work, but it probably not going to drop in.

Hello, I have a 7ft door but the track allows for 7 & 8 ft doors. It's a great opener. Please contact me you have any other questions. Ken

I don't see why not. You will have to purchase the matching rail seperatly. These are made to support a heavy barn door (200-400lbs) and may be overkill for your application but they should work. Also, these are galvanized which can rust overtime if continuously exposed to moisture such as in a shower.
