This is a fantastic product. For our space, we needed a shorter bar. Because of where the hole placements were in the bar (for mounting to the wall), we were barely able to cut the bar down to the correct size. It just happened to work out! The function remains the same. We were able to figure out how to assemble with two of us working together, as there were some errors we could have made while drilling holes in our door! Working slowly and double checking measurements is important. Definitely love the slow close feature, as we have kids and typical barn door setups are dangerous for fingers!
