sliding door closer

[bandaidmd]

I have split sliding doors on my shop each side is 8' wide x 14' tall there 2x4 framed and move easily. Anyone made a garage door closer or know of a ready made model for this type of setup?

Some have used a regular garage door closer mounted sideways above the door. If you do the pulleys right one opener would open both, otherwise you would need 2 openers.

Hang the tracks on a slight slant, then let gravity close the door.
