Where to Install Low Profile Barn Door Hardware

Kitchen

There are two prime spots for small barn door hardware in the kitchen: in the pantry and as a dining room divider. When installed in place of a pantry swinging door, a low profile barn door will simultaneously add beauty to the kitchen while hiding food and other pantry clutter.

You might consider a low profile glass door barn door to show off a well-organized pantry.

As a divider, a barn door will allow peace and quiet in the dining room, particularly as the kitchen is busy before dinner.

Cabinets

If you’re short on space in the kitchen or bathroom, you might consider adding a barn door cabinet. This takes an ordinary cupboard and turns it into a masterpiece that is both stylish and practical. It provides a way to hide unsightly clutter and free up a bit of space, all while considerably enhancing your home’s appeal.

Mini-Bar

Mini-bar door hardware is also an option. This is an extremely stylish way to display your mini-bar and makes cocktail mixing a breeze. Just gently slide the door open or closed to access your array of bar supplies. You can also include a kid-safe barn door lock.

Laundry Room

The laundry room tends to be one of the smallest rooms in the house, and when it’s full of laundry, it feels even smaller. It can be difficult to get full baskets in and out of the door.

That’s where low profile barn doors come in. Rather than fumbling with the handle and being pushed out of the laundry room by a swinging door, you can simply slide open a low profile barn door. As a bonus, it will give your laundry room a truly charming look.

Hallway Bathroom

In many homes, there is a bathroom that opens in a terribly inconvenient place: the hallway. This is a location that experiences heavy foot traffic, so a swinging interior door can prove a real obstacle (a traffic jam, if you will).

You can solve this problem with the installation of sliding door track hardware. This will allow the door to simply slide open, without interfering with the hallway walkway. What’s more, the wall space in the hallway will no longer be blocked by the door, making it ideal for photos, paintings, or other decor.

Bedroom

When it comes to smaller bedrooms, low profile barn door hardware can maximize the space. Rather than the door opening inward and cutting into potential storage and living area, a DIY barn door will take up hardly more than the doorway itself. A double door system can also update and maximize bedroom closet doors.

Mudroom/Garage Door Area

The mudroom and garage door entryway can be a little rough around the edges. It’s the place where shoes, coats, and dirt are most likely to accumulate.  
Fortunately, you can spiff the door and the mudroom up considerably with a simple, cost-effective barn door. You can even pick a decorative doorknob, to enhance the space further.

How Much Clearance Is Needed to Install Low Profile Barn Door Hardware?

Many barn doors require as much as five to seven feet, but a low profile barn door hardware system only requires three feet of clearance. The doors are specially designed to fit in small spaces, making them perfect for a small home or cabinet.  

5 Things to Consider When Purchasing Low Profile Barn Door Hardware

1. What door material and style would you prefer?

A solid wood door slab is beloved for its natural beauty, durability, and customizability. Wood doors also tend to have a more traditional or rustic appeal.
You might also consider fiberglass doors, sliding glass or partial sliding glass doors, and metal doors. Comparatively, these tend to have a more contemporary or modern appeal.

2. Where would you like the door?

There are so many promising spots in the home for a low profile barn door. You might consider a space that feels a bit cramped with a traditional hinged door, or you may decide to install the barn door kit in a place where it can make a bold statement.

3. Do you have sufficient space for a low profile barn door?

Most low profile barn doors require about three feet of clearance. There are some exceptions, such as when installing a cabinet barn door. In any case, the required clearance of a potential door is something you’ll want to double-check.

4. Are there studs for the track headers?

Most sliding barn doors rely on track headers, which requires drilling into the studs to provide the necessary support. If there aren’t studs in the proper location, then you won’t be able to attach the track header (or, you may have to figure out an alternative installation method).

5. What kind of handle would you like?

BarnDoorHardware.com allows you to customize barn door handles, so pick one that suits your home’s style and decor. You might consider an antique look for a French door or a shiny, like-new one for a contemporary or modern door. You can also pick a secure door lock or deadbolt for spaces that require security or privacy.
