Sliding barn door hardware, along with the barn doors, doesn’t have to be for barns anymore. Today, barn doors on domestic living spaces are becoming extremely popular due to the aesthetic design and their space saving features. Instead of needing extra space to open a traditional door, barn doors can slide back and forth, eliminating the need for a large space.
Barn doors for indoor purposes can also create a very unique rustic look that can enhance the ambience of any room. There are several types of barn doors and hardware that can work with the design you want to create, including modern and industrial hardware. When considering barn doors for your next project, consider the following hardware and doors, as well as their purposes, so you can get the right products. All hardware packages come with mounting instructions, so you can get it right the first time.
Modern Sliding Door Hardware
This type has metal brackets with a wooden roller, with a maximum holding weight capacity of 200 pounds. The wooden roller contrasts nicely with the metal brackets, which rolls quietly each and every time the door is moved. This type of hardware would be great for areas that need quiet doors, such as a nursery or office. The wood with the gold contrasts very nicely and would go well in more classic applications. When installed correctly, the hardware is protected by a limited lifetime warranty.
Industrial Sliding Door Hardware

They are sturdier, making them perfect for heavier doors such as glass, wood or metal, and can hold doors that weigh up to 500 pounds. Industrial doors, from around the turn of the 20th century, have use this flat track style of hardware, and are now being used in a more domestic application. They can be used in either interior or exterior applications, creating a very clean and modern look.
