Product Usage Instructions
Installation Requirements
Before starting the installation process, ensure you have structural support
for wall-mounted door hardware. Read the preparation instructions on our
website for wall preparation guidelines.
Cutting and Customization
If you need to cut the rail for a smaller door, coat the cut end with proper
metal paint to prevent rusting. Note that cutting the rail voids any warranty.
Door Setup
- Route a channel on the bottom of the door for the floor-mounted door guide.
- Install rollers on the doors according to the provided instructions.
Rail Installation
- Position the rail on top of the wood blocking and ensure it is level.
- Mark the holes, drill pilot holes, and secure them with provided wall screws.
- Align spacers to the rail holes and secure them with provided screws and washers.
Soft Close Mechanism Setup
- Attach the soft close to the rail with the bottom bump slightly below the rail.
- Tighten the attachment bolts securely for proper functionality.
- Position the door stopper at the end of the track to prevent roll-off.
Setting Soft Close Actuator
Determine where you want the door to stop and place the soft close actuator
accordingly.
Lifting and Positioning the Door
- Lift the door onto the track.
- Push the door to the desired location where it should stop.
- Position the soft close actuator on top of the door between the catch tabs.

A: Before attaching it to the rail, make sure the bottom bump is positioned correctly and tighten the attachment bolts securely. -
Q: What should I do if I encounter issues during installation?
A: If you face challenges during installation, it’s recommended to seek professional assistance to ensure the safety and proper functionality of the hardware.
BEFORE YOU START
Ensure you read “How to prepare your walls for hardware” on our website instructions page.
Important!
Wall-mounted door hardware must be attached to structural blocking or a header
board. If there is not adequate support, then you must add structural support
before attaching the hardware to the wall.
Please read all the instructions before starting.
Warning:
No instruction sheet is a replacement for common sense. If you don’t feel
comfortable with this project, don’t do it! And please, use ear, eye, and dust
protection for all home renovation projects
The rail can be cut if you wish to use a smaller door, but you will need to coat the cut end with proper metal paint to prevent rusting. Cutting the rail voids any warranty.
Installation Instructions
-
IF USING STANDARD GUIDE
Route a 1/4″ wide x 3/4″ deep channel on the bottom of the door for use with the floor-mounted door guide. This will prevent the door from swinging in and out. -
Install rollers on the doors
- If you have purchased doors from Viba, they will already be drilled to accept the rollers.
- If not, follow the instructions included with the roller placement block
- Basic Door set-up.
- A – minimum of 2” of overlap is required on both sides of the door
- Standard guide – centre of the rail is positioned at door height + 1 ¾” above the floor
- EZ Install guide – centre of the rail is positioned at door height + 2 ¼” above the floor
NOTE
Soft close goes on the back of the rail, facing the wall, with the “catch” on the plastic soft close device facing the floor. You should not see the soft close mechanism when looking at your door.
-
Before you install the rail, slightly loosen the two attachment bolts holding the soft close to the rail and ensure that the bottom bump of the soft close mechanism is 1/16” below the bottom of the rail. Then tighten up the attachment bolts securely. If you don’t tighten them the soft close won’t work.
-
Position the rail on top of the wood blocking. Use a level to make sure it is level. Mark the holes using a pencil and drill 1/4″ pilot holes into the wood blocking.
-
When installing into the solid wood block and wall, insert using the provided wall screws. Check frequently to ensure the rail is level. Align each spacer to the rail holes, inserting standoffs and provided screws (with washers), securing with a wrench.
-
Position your door stopper at the end of the track to prevent roll-off. Using the Allen key included with the set, tighten the stops.
Setting your soft close
NOTE – Before you can set your soft close, you must attach the rail to the wall and install the rollers on your door
NOTE- WHERE THIS ACTUATOR IS PLACED DETERMINES
- WHERE THE SOFT CLOSE DEVICE STOPS THE DOOR.
- It does not have an installation template and YOU are the one who determines where it goes on the top of the door. Where you want the door to stop determines the position the actuator must be placed in.
-
Lift the door onto the track
-
Push the door to the left, TO THE LOCATION YOU WANT IT TO BE IN WHEN IT STOPS! This is when you will position the soft close actuator.
-
Keeping the door in location, place the soft close actuator on top of the door, with the upwards tab towards the back of the door, fitting between the two catch tabs in the soft close device.
-
Once you have placed the soft close actuator in position, mark the holes with a pencil
WARNING! Do not attempt to drill the holes or screw the actuator in at this point. It is easy to either split the door or scratch your rail. -
Next, move the door to the right TO THE LOCATION YOU WANT IT TO BE IN WHEN IT STOPS! Repeat the steps of placing the actuator into place and marking its position.
-
Remove the door from the track
-
Where you have marked for the soft close actuators, drill holes using a 1/16-inch drill bit. Don’t install the actuators at this point as the door won’t fit onto the track!
-
Now, place the door back on the track
-
Screw the actuators onto the door.
-
At this point, you will need to manually “open” the soft close devices by pulling the catch tabs of the device towards the middle of the rail until the front tab retracts up.
-
Close your door to ensure the soft closing is smooth & easy in both directions. If not, review step 3, and adjust the position of the soft close mechanism accordingly. You do not need to remove the rail to do so; the mechanism can be adjusted in place.
-
Position each anti-jump block at least 1″ from the edge of the rollers. Tighten slightly to secure in place.
-
STANDARD BOTTOM GUIDE
- Position the door guide inside the channel routed in your door. Mark holes with a pencil and drill 1/4″ holes.
- With concrete floors, use the provided anchors.
-
EZ INSTALL BOTTOM GUIDE
Determine a position that will allow the door to travel both ways yet remain guided. Screw the wall-mounted door guide to the wall or trim, and adjust as necessary.
You are done!
