Barn Door FAQ

Unlike swinging doors, where the door has to exactly fit the door frame, with barn doors, you will need a slightly larger door than the opening. Take a look at our complete illustrated guide .

All of our hardware kits come with C-Guide and T-Guide. The C-Guide cups the bottom of the door and doesn’t require modifying the door bottom. The T-Guide fits into a slot that will need to be cut into the bottom edge of a sliding door. Both guides require mounting on the floor.

It depends on the hanging hardware style you choose. Each hardware kit has different clearance requirements. The Classic Hangers require a minimum of 6” between the top of the door and the ceiling. The Aero Hangers require a minimum of 5 ½” between the top of the door and the ceiling.

Doors ordered alone are shipped without pre-drilled holes. For orders that contain both a door and a hanging hardware kit, the door will come pre-drilled to accept the selected hardware kit. The hardware kit will need to be installed during the mounting process.

Yes! Call or email for a custom quote. Custom orders have a 2-3 week lead time and a custom order fee

Yes, but only if you have wood blocking built into your wall. If you do not have wood blocking built into the wall, you will need to mount the hardware to a wood ledger board. The reason for this is that the hardware rails come with pre-drilled holes that do not line up with the studs in your wall. We recommend a wood header board consisting of a hardwood such as oak or fir. We recommend the dimensions be 1" thick, 5-1/2" tall, and 2" longer than the hardware rail length. Matching headers can be ordered to accompany any of our barn doors.

We recommend a door-to-frame overlap of at least 1" per side for doors up to 54". This assists with maintaining privacy. For larger doors, use a 2"overlap per side .

Delivery will require multiple people or use of customer supplied equipment to offload safely. Curbside lift gate delivery is available for an additional charge (usually $150) and can be selected at checkout.
