If you like the idea but want different doors, try this hardware kit with a door slab of your choosing. We got these doors from Home Depot, which included the doors and the track and hardware. It took one extra step, but wasn’t difficult at all, and didn’t require any additional hardware.īy expanding our search to single door sets, we were able to find the style we wanted at a price we could afford.
Then we realized we could just buy two separate door kits and hang them together. While we were looking for the perfect doors, we found plenty of double barn door sets, but they were out of our price range. If you make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. We plan on adding 6″ white baseboards in this sunken dining/living area, which will help the doors feel like they’re not floating in space on the wall.

We chose a modern style door with frosted glass and traditional hardware. But first, let’s admire the doors, shall we? After Barn Doors I’ve got a few suggestions for you, if you’re thinking of taking on such a project. Hanging the new doors was a little tougher, but definitely doable. It was surprisingly easy to get rid of them, just a few screws and they were lying in a heap on my floor. The oldest tried to be soft and quiet about it, but then instead of a big racket I’d hear clack… clack… clack… clack… CLACK. My youngest would just throw them closed, like ripping off a bandaid.
I could even tell which kid was up by how they closed the doors. They thought they would close the doors to keep the sound of the TV from waking us, but inevitably we’d be startled awake by the sound of the doors clattering closed. I have soon-to-be fond memories of my kids waking up early on Saturdays and sneaking into the TV room to watch cartoons. They served a good function of closing off the TV room, but they also felt a little(!) dated and made a horrible clacking sound whenever they opened or closed. These accordion doors came straight out of the late seventies or early eighties.
But it’s finally done, and they turned out even better than I imagined! Before Barn Doors Then it was just a matter of getting a few other priorities taken care of before we could get to this project. Now, I know I’m not the first girl ever to put barn doors in her house, but this is something I’ve been wanting to do for years, and when we moved into this house, I knew just where I’d put them.

(We had to modify our barn door hardware to account for the door trim. Note: Barn door hardware must be attached into wall studs to prevent pulling out from the wall. We were extremely happy with the quality of hardware we purchased from Amazon, however, if searching for cheaper barn door hardware, make sure that it is rated for the weight of door that you are looking to hang.
