Hi TOH , that's a nice looking barn door & nate did a good job hanging it too ! 👍😊🛠

Outstanding primer on how to install/hang an interior sliding barn door. I'm using an old door reclaimed from a commercial building (it weighs 47.6 lbs) that has 5 windows in it, but frosted glass. I was worried about the weight but adding the mounting header board will give it the strength needed, I think, to prevent it from pulling off the wall. We shall see! Thanks, This Old House.

I need to install a sliding barn door, except on an actual barn rather than a decorative feature, mine needs to actually be heavier and usable for the shop LOL. The other thing is, mine will have to be split, so 2 doors sliding apart. Never done this before so I'm gonna have to do some research and figure this out.

Nice work

When the barn door is in the open position the electrical outlet is inaccessible, and anything plugged into it may impede the door movement.

I was thinking the same thing about their solution to an out of plumb wall too. Hanging the door with the wall would make for a more pleasing reveal to the eye. Even at 80 inches a taper like that is really noticeable, especially in a door way. Plus you have the guide pin to keep the door in the position you want :)

@johnsmith-wc8gs

Plumb only matters when installing cabinets or appliances. When it comes to doors or trim work you should always match existing work or sometimes split the difference. I agree that the door guide would hold the door out of plumb and would keep it more pleasing to the eye. That or when no one is looking put a block on the bottom plate and strike it with a 20 lbs. hammer lol. It'll move!

@@dlamarsobotor4573 plumb and level are important when framing a home. Ideally you want everything to be perfect. When you are dealing with an existing structure that is out of plumb and the fix is more than the job is worth then you do go with what is there. The eye doesn't pick up on things that are out of plumb as much as it does with things that are not parallel. I've been a carpenter for nearly 30 years and know this from experience. 3/4" is alot in 7'. One suggestion that they would never show on tv is to put a block at the plate and hit it with a 20 lbs. hammer. It'll take some of the curse out of it but you don't want to go too far as it could pinch wires that are coming up from below. It is also something you don't want to neccesarily do in front of the owner lol unless you have a working relationship with them and explain what you are doing. A couple toe screws at the plate will secure it if necessary.

Great video! We just installed our barn door and ran into a snafu... We have an older house, so the floors are uneven in places. The height of the barn door is perfect over the door frame itself, but it turns out the floor is 1/2 inch higher on the right side. When we slide it open, the door scrapes against the floor. Any recommendations for the best way to fix or adjust?

I had one of these in a condo bedroom. The biggest problem (besides not really offering privacy) is the noise the rollers make. You have to roll the door incredibly slow to avoid waking someone up. Not practical in a bedroom, in my opinion.

I suppose you would move the outlet to the right enough to no longer be covered by the sliding panel. But that would take ATOH to send a sparky to perform this task. Depending on how accessible the Romex (guessing) is dictates the labor & material cost. Or a blank cover in a pinch. But I generally hate to see an outlet being removed.

"Pre-drilling the mounting board according to stud location" does me no good, as that is what I am currently stuck on. Stop "PRE" doing stuff and actually show people how to do that.

Garbage! I thought I learned something but guys fos. 1st option- You don't need 1x4 piece on top if studs line up with holes on rail, there is some play depending on rail size? Line up bottom guide 3/4" away from base trim. 2nd option- The bottom guide separates door from trim when out of level. With upper 1x4 and track spacers your track is now about 2" away from wall and door is probably 1-3/8" thick, so half the thickness of the door gets taken out of 2 inches for over an 1- 1/4 gap between wall and door. If you add some door trim casing on drywall wrap (cheap way) you can then add a lock on bathroom door.
