Barn Door Hardware Essentials

i. Barn Door Tracks

Your door hangs on and moves along the track, which is a rail located above the barn door opening. Barn door tracks can be flat, rounded, or covered with a fascia to hide the whole track system.

ii. Barn Door Hanger

The door can hang over the track thanks to a barn door hanger or roller that is mounted to the front or top of the door. The wheels that drive the door along the track are attached to hangers, which come in a variety of designs, materials, and weight capacities.

iii. End Stops

In order to stop the hanger and the door from rolling off the track, barn door end stops are mounted to the track and act as a bumper for the hanger to contact when it moves in either direction. The hanger enables the door to hang low enough so that only the hanger ever contacts the stop.

iv. Anti-Jump Blocks

 Anti-jump blocks are often mounted to the top of the door and are made of plastic or rubber. They occasionally attach to the hanger itself. These barriers stop the door from rising and slipping off the track.

v. Guide

The bottom of the barn door guide is mounted to the wall or the floor. The guide stops the door's bottom from swinging outward and colliding with the wall.

vi. Barn Door Header

A barn door header is only a specially made piece of wood used to distribute the weight of the door and secure your barn door track. A barn door header also increases the stability of the door when it is open.
