Surface-mounted sliding system
Barn Doors
Wide openings, clean hardware, no floor track.
Barn doors hang on a surface-mounted track above the opening and slide to the side when open. They work for wide openings that would need large, heavy swinging doors, and they add a strong visual element to any room. Hardware is visible by design.
From $399— final pricing depends on dimensions, finish, and install path

Common questions
How much wall space do I need beside a barn door?
You need at least the width of the door panel on the side it slides to. A 36" door needs 36" of clear wall space.
Do barn doors lock?
Not by default. A floor cane bolt or privacy latch can be added for bathroom or bedroom applications.
Can I install a barn door without studs in the right place?
The track header needs solid mounting. We can recommend backing plates or blocking solutions during the quote process.
