Sliding Door Hardware

Essentially, sliding door hardware and barn door hardware are the same thing, just different names. Barn door hardware has become a more popular term recently given the history and traditional use of the hardware. The rustic look and solid steel construction of the hardware in the past was sometimes used for larger doors on barns. It was more convenient to slide the larger doors out of the way instead of having them on hinges that would swing out.

Homeowners are taking this rustic look and bringing it indoors to accent their interiors. The rustic-style design of the hardware brings character to any room. Since the track runs outside the walls, homeowners get to proudly display their doors, whether they are in the open or closed position. This way the door becomes much more than just a door; it is an essential part of the decoration and aesthetics of a room. Standard doors that swing on hinges are merely a closure to another room. They are hardly noticed or considered part of a room’s decor. Pocket doors slide into the wall and out of sight altogether. Their design and construction rarely contribute to the overall design of a room or home. Additionally, the small pocket door latch becomes a nuisance over time causing the door itself to remain hidden in the door for the large majority of the time. Why even have a door at that point?

Sliding doors that remain exterior the wall are the choice of homeowners and designers. They are perfect for studies, bathrooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and libraries. Contact us today to learn more about sliding door hardware.
