Delaney Barn Door Floor L Guide, US19 Black

A floor guide keeps the bottom of a sliding barn door from swinging away from the wall as it rolls. The Delaney BD0004 L guide mounts to the floor and the short upright leg catches the door's bottom edge, holding it in plane. Any top-hung barn door needs some form of bottom guide, so if your kit did not include one, this is the part that does that job.

It stands 7/8 inch tall, 7/8 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches long. That 7/8 inch upright is what engages the door edge, so on thick carpet or a tall rug the effective height drops and the guide may not catch the door reliably. On hard flooring the 7/8 inch leg is enough to keep the door tracking.

A floor guide only controls the bottom of the door. The Delaney L guide stops the panel swinging away from the wall at floor level, but it does nothing about a roller lifting off the rail. For that you need anti-jump hardware at the track, such as the Sure-Loc Barn Track Anti-Jump Block, Pair. The two parts solve different problems and are often used together.

Yes. A wall-mounted roller guide does the same job from the wall instead of the floor, so the finished flooring stays untouched. The Sure-Loc Wall-Mounted Barn Track Roller Guide is that style. Choose the Delaney L guide when floor fixing is acceptable and you want the smallest possible footprint at 2 inches long.

They control the door at opposite ends. The Delaney BD0004 barn door L guide is a floor-mounted guide, 7/8 inch tall, 7/8 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches long, in US19 Black, so it keeps the bottom of the slab from swinging away from the wall. The Sure-Loc Barn Door Components wall-mounted barn track roller guide instead mounts on the wall to bear against the door face. If the finished floor cannot be drilled, or a floor guide would sit in a threshold or tile line, the wall-mounted roller guide is the alternative approach.

The guide is a single L shape 1/2 inch thick with a 7/8 inch upright leg, so it bears against one face of the door rather than straddling both faces like a channel or C guide. It suits a standard slab door where you want the face held off the wall. If you need the door captured on both sides, use a two-piece or adjustable floor guide instead.

It is finished in black, US19. That is the standard flat black used across most barn door track kits and strap hangers, so it reads as a match to black rails, rollers and pulls rather than standing out at the floor.

The BD0004 is a single floor L guide sized for one door panel. For a bypass arrangement you are dealing with two panels on offset tracks, and the track side of that needs its own hardware, such as the Sure-Loc Barn Door Bypass Track Connector. Plan the floor guiding per panel rather than expecting one L guide to control both.

The Delaney BD0004 L guide only guides the bottom of the door; it provides no latching. For privacy on a residential sliding barn door, the Sure-Loc Barn Door Privacy Latch is the part intended for that use. The two are complementary rather than interchangeable: the guide keeps the slab tracking, the latch secures it closed.

No. The Delaney BD0004 L guide is a floor-mounted part that holds the bottom edge of the slab close to the wall while it slides. The Sure-Loc Barn Track Anti-Jump Block is sold as a pair and works at the track, keeping the rollers from lifting off the rail. A door that sways at the bottom needs the floor guide; a door whose hangers ride up over the track needs the anti-jump blocks. Many installs use both.

The Delaney BD0004 is a single floor L guide, 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches long, sized to guide one slab against the wall. A bypass setup runs two doors on offset planes, and the Sure-Loc Barn Door Bypass Track Connector is the part made for joining the tracks in that arrangement. Confirm the guide arrangement your bypass layout calls for before ordering a single-slab floor guide.

One L guide per door panel is the normal arrangement, placed under the door at the closed position so the panel stays engaged through its travel. It is sold as a single guide in black US19, so order one per opening at minimum and keep the finish consistent across the building by specifying the same US19 black on every door.
