We want to hang 2 36" wood & glass doors in one 6 ft opening. The doors weigh 45-50 lbs each. Do we need 2 of these sets + 1 joiner?

You will need two. We have wood and glass doors into our library hanging from these.

Yes. You will need two sets. We have 2 30" doors and used two sets. If you email the mfr as I did, they will help you work out the details.

You will need two if you want to use the full 6ft opening. Total length required is 144". Make sure you have 36" on either side of opening to accommodate door and rail.

The answer is no..your not to heavy...I would suggest bolting a piece of 2x6 wood across two ceiling joists and then bolting bracket to the 2x6 block...it most likely will be about 24" (+/-)...the more bolts the more times you divide and distribute the weight...

When I ordered it, they came as a pack of 2. So if your door has two hinges, you would just need one set per door.

I bought and installed these on a pair of 36x96 doors I made. I used three hinges per door. They worked great. I would guess my doors at 90 to 100 lbs.

If you have solid wood doors I would go with 3 hinges per door with the upper and middle closer together than the middle and lower. Can't say for sure pounds max, but there is a lot of force exerted on that top hinge. I tried them on a church door that had leaded glass window and it was too much for even the 3 hinge setup. Light weight or hollow door, 2 should work.

They're not super sturdy so two is probably best. In use them more for child proofing than security so one could conceivably work but two seems best. Also don't know about your particular window but I have wooden frames double windows (with the old jnternal rope and counter weights) and they work fine. They just screw into the frame itself and when open are flush enough to allow plenty of room to fully open the window.

We have old schoolhouse doors with strange 1920s door frames- so we actually had to build another extra piece to get them to work in our application. The door closer itself is pretty straight forward- if you have modern doors and standard tools, I don't believe you should have any problems installing them.

If you are not heavy handed, two per door work fine. If you need installation instructions, there are many videos on you tube that are a big help.

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)

I use 4 for "lightweight" items and 6 for "heavier" items. The more you use, the better they work. They do make plenty of noise so hopefully, you have a door you can close!

1 for each individual hinge...should be 2 per door. You may want to confirm if you are ordering 1each or 1pair.

Mine arrived with 2 sets of door hangers. One for the average size door & another for a thicker door. If it's too large you can always fit cardboard under it to make it fit. My only problem was there is no anchor for the bottom part & it bounces back and forth with a swinging door which I easily fixed with some paracord.

Yes, but...This is exactly my door frame dimensions, so I had to use only first bolt connector instead of both to put it together. I'm 185# and it doesn't seem to affect the strength of the unit.

Pretty tough to answer this question. I have to respond with how much weight do you need to support? 3 feet of hanging space can add up to a lot of weight. 3 ft = 36 inches. Every stud is spaced no more than 16 inches. Sometimes less when approaching corners. You should be able to find two studs.

It sounds like you mean to turn one 36" door into two 18" doors. I suppose that could work. By the way, the 80 is more like 78. I had to add wood to the top of the door frame.

hey tom. installed four of these in an overhead cabinet where the stained glass door weighed close to 15lbs and the size was appx 18"x32". don't get me wrong they work GREAT! but, if I understand correctly I'd say these particular openers are WAY TOO MUCH SIZE AND STRENGTH for your circumstance. there ARE smaller...keep shopping

In my opinion, yes. Just make sure you keep the 2 pieces roughly 3/4 inch or Less from each other's when you stick them on the doors or the door And the frame.
