Large Barn Door help
9 years ago
Our carpenter made our barn door and just finished installing it. The door is heavy- probably close to 500 pounds. I love the door but it's incredibly hard to open/close. The rollers aren't rolling well and it's just a lot of force to move the door. Any suggestions on making this door work better? Thank you!

Thanks for commenting! I had planned for 2 doors - didn't go that route because the right side door would have interfered with our exterior door when it opened. Any other ideas on hardware?
