Architectural Elements: Sliding Barn Doors
From Janet
Inspired by our roundup of barns last week, I went in search of sliding barn doors used in interior and exterior applications. Deceptively sophisticated, sliding barn door hardware allows you to install oversize or extra heavy doors and effectively create sliding walls when space is tight. Visit Barnhouse Modern for more ideas.

Hello,
I am interested in the modern barn door hingles. It is suggested I go to materialicious.
Please let me know when I can get this item.
Thank you
where can you find interior sliding barn style doors to be used in a master bedroom/bathroom renovation?
We ar e looking for directions and information about installing a barn door in place of a single exterior door. The door way leads from our family room to our screened in porch.
We are wood flush interior door makers. Looking for exposed barn door track for an interior application (the kind of stuff you might see in an urban loft or an upscale boutique hotel, etc.). Contemporary style.
Single doors, sliding one way only, 39" X 84" X 1-3/4" wood flush, 100 pounds. Need an external pull, some kind of interior privacy lock, a stay to fit in a kerf in the door bottom.
A flat track is fine, but it can also be tubular or square. Some moisture in the door area - so stainless is best, but can be plated. Want hangers to thru-bolt to the face of the door slab - for aesthetics and strength.

P.S. to poster Barbara Goldberg from Sept 22 --- in my search, I have found many exquisite barn door tracks (German, etc.) -- but they r a little higher priced than what I seek (which is a high volume, repeat application). Depending on your budget - if u r still lookin, I have many excellent solutions (and we make doors)/ Mitch
I love the barn doors in the Vashon Island House by Miller Hull. I would love some in my home. Do you knowwhere I could find some like them?
Thanks
I would like to use these interior sliding barn doors for a bathroom entrance and as my master bedroom door. Could you recommend where i could find them, preferably in or near NYC. I am however willing to ship it to my residence, from other parts of the country.Thank you
I have a bathroom door that takes up too much space when opened, I wanted to put a barn door hinge so that it would just slide left to right instead of in. I'm looking for something basic and wanted to know if I could use my existing door?
Thanks for your help.

Do you know what edition of the Cottage Living Magazine that photo was taken? I would like to know if the track for the sliding door is round...trying to find a similiar product for a house I am working on...
Not sure what issue, but it is from Cottage Living's 2007 Idea House in New Orleans. Hope that helps.
I have the same question as #2 where can you find interior sliding barn style doors to be used in a master bedroom/bathroom renovation?
I have exactly the same ques as #2. Where can I find this style in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada area?
Lynden Door has developed a contemporary set of exposed, stainless steel, barn door hardware. We created the set for a specific job and can offer it for projects of 130 doors or more. Naturally, we offer a complete package - doors and hardware. E-mail me for pictures, details and pricing. Canada, the US and international projects. Fire doors or non-rated. Lots of LEED contributing options.
Hello,
I am looking for a good (and hopefully reasonable) place to buy barn door hardware. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Diane
I also have the same question as #2. Where can I find interior barn doors (and track) for a remodel? Eastern PA region.
I have a wall of closets and would like to install a sliding barn door system. Any ideas?
Thanks.
We are looking for a barn door to slide from left to right. The door would separate our hallway into our master suite. The opening is double width- we initially thought French doors but we would like to save space. Suggestions on where to buy hardware and doors. Thanks.
I also would like to find a contempory sliding barn-style door. I like the second one that conceals the laundry and panry in the kitchen.
Thanks,Lee
Where can I find the hardware for sliding barn doors?
Pick up any current issue of Dwell magazine. They seem to have a few suppliers listed in last pages.
Are there light weight "barn
door" styles or could a painting be mounted on a light weight door as a decorative element? Door would remain open unless I had guests.
