Heavy-Duty Bypass Door Hardware for Smooth, Dependable Operation
Bypass doors offer a practical way to close off closets and other openings without taking up floor space for a swinging door. Two doors slide past one another on separate tracks, providing access to either side of the opening.
For wider or heavier doors, choosing the right hardware is essential. The Series 1 HBP Heavy-Duty Bypass Hardware Kit combines strong aluminum tracks with four-wheel ball-bearing hangers to support doors weighing up to 250 pounds each.
Measure Carefully and Allow for Overlap
A two-door bypass system generally uses wider individual panels than a bifold system covering a similar opening. Before selecting door sizes, measure the finished opening and account for the overlap needed where the doors meet.
The combined door widths must provide enough coverage for both the opening and the overlap. Two 36-inch doors total 72 inches, so they cannot cover a full 72-inch finished opening while also overlapping. The finished opening must be narrower, or wider doors must be selected.
For a 60-inch finished opening, a 30-inch door paired with a 32-inch door can provide approximately 2 inches of overlap. Confirm the required overlap and door arrangement before purchasing or installing your doors.
Plan for Track and Hardware Clearance
Allow approximately 1¾ to 2¼ inches between the top of the door and the track mounting location for the track and hanger assembly.
The height-adjustable roller hangers let you fine-tune the doors during installation for proper alignment and smooth travel. Check the installation instructions when determining door height, mounting height, and floor clearance.
