JELD-WEN DesignGlide Barn Door Hardware System Installation
(JII-90003)
Designglide hardware is capable of being cut down 6" from the kit’s
stock rail length to support custom width doors’
If you are using a door width that is smaller than the kit’s stock rail
width, follow the steps below. If not, skip to the next step, predrilling
for the end caps.
Sizing Rails
1. Both the top and bottom rails need to be cut symmetrically. Use the
formula below to gure out your cut dimension 'A'.
Drilling for End Caps
Place rail in configuration seen in Figure 4.
1. Place an end cap inside the rail, ensuring it ts ush with end
of the rail.
2. Rotate the end cap to the top of the rail as shown in Figure 4.
3. Mark the end cap’s fastening hole on rail.
4. Predrill through the rail using a 1/4" drill bit.
5. Repeat for the remaining ends of both rails.

2. Mark each rail at the 'A' dimension.
3. Slowly cut both rails symmetrically with a miter saw, using a metal
cutting blade.
4. Finish and break all edges with le/ne sand paper.
5. If using a rustic kit, renish ends with black paint.
