Louden Covered Bird 



Proof Barn Door Track 



Fig. 1200 



The Louden Covered Bird-Proof 



Door Hanger Track is the heaviest, 



strongest, and neatest barn door track 



made. The tube in which the trolleys 



travel is made from a single sheet of 



14-gauge steel pressed into shape. 



The tube is 1 '' 8 inches wide and Zj^^ 



inches deep inside and is exactly the 



same as the regular bird-proof track 



described on page 60. 



The track is completely enclosed 



except the narrow opening at the 



bottom for the hanger strap to work 



in. The lips of the track on the bot- 

 tom bend downward and outward 



making a strong support for the 



trolleys and also preventing any dust 



or moisture from getting in the track. 



The trolleys travel on a level tread 



and there is no opportunity for the 



track to spread or bind on the trolleys. 

 The cover being attached to the top 



and side of track by a process of electric 



welding, makes it conform readily to its 



shape and renders it absolutely strong 



and rigid. 



The cover has an embossed rein- 

 forcement every 9 inches which adds 



greatly to its strength. At the extreme 



upper edge of the cover the edge is 



bent sharply toward the building. 



When the track is made fast to the 



barn this upper edge presses into the 



barn siding, and no water or moisture 



can get behind the track. One inch 



of the upper edge of the cover lies flat 



against the barn wall and is provided with holes to receive the lag screws for making it fast. 

 The track is rigidly attached to the barn wall and in this respect it differs from the regular bird-proof 



track, which is flexibly hung. The lower edge of the cover extends below the upper edge of the door. 



All water and moisture is turned to the outside of the door and the track and the upper edge of the door 



are completely protected from the weather. 



The back side of the main track has embossed knobs or buttons to hold the track away from the building. 



(See Fig. 1201.) This allows an air space between the track and the building, with no opportunity for 



moisture to accumulate and rust the track or rot the barn siding. 



The ends of the track are closed with steel stops bolted in. (See Fig. 918, page 61.) There is no 



(opportunity for trash, dirt or weather to reach the trolleys. The track is always clear and heavy or light 



doors travel easy, smooth and 

 true. To the man who desires 

 practical utility, long and per- 

 fect service, a neat and attrac- 

 tive design in a barn door 

 track, the slight extra cost of 

 this track as compared with 

 otheis on the market will 

 always be remembered as a

For all kinds of doors, large and small. 



Track is tubular and trolleys travel inside. 



Trolleys cannot get off the track. 



The regular Bird-Proof Hanger, Fig. 902, or Bird-Proof Adjustable Hanger, 



Fig. 1052, operates in this track. 

 Body of track is made of No. 14 gauge special steel. 

 Dimensions of track inside. 1 ^ g inches wide by 2^^ inches deep. 

 The tubular track has a steel cover made of No. 18 gauge steel, and being 



attached by an electric weld, forms a part of the track making it absolutely 



strong and rigid. 

 Embossed reinforcements every nine inches give great strength to the cover. 

 Cover is made fast to barn wall with lag screws. 

 Upper edge of cover is provided with holes for lag screws for attaching to 



barn wall. 

 Lower edge of cover extends dovtrn beyond the upper edge of door so rain 



and snow cannot blow under. 

 The extreme upper edge of cover bends sharply toward wall. When track 



is in place this edge presses into the barn wall preventing moisture from 



penetrating behind the track. 

 The back side of the main tube is provided with embossed buttons which 



hold the track away and allow an air space between the track and the wall. 

 Track is furnished in 4-ft., 6-ft., and 8-ft. lengths.
