I am beginning the framing of a gambrel style barn 30′ x 30′. The homeowner had the architect design a bi-parting door for the front and back. Fabricating the four 3’6” slabs will be enjoyable but could anyone give me a clue as to where I might locate the hardware (track, rollers etc.) to hang these bi-parting doors ?
Thank You.

Around here, the best location to look is a farm supply such as TSC. But lo and behold, Grainger has it too.

Every lumberyard here in the midwest caries sliding door hardware. (Never heard 'em called " bi-parting doors")
If lumberyards don't carry it, try a farm supply store.
