How to Work Out the Right Size Sliding Barn Door for Your Doorway

A sliding barn door can be a practical and stylish feature in your home, but choosing the right size is essential for it to look right and function properly.

When measuring for a barn door, the most important thing is the opening size. In most cases, the door should be large enough to fully cover the doorway when closed.

What to measure

Start by measuring the height and width of the opening.

From there, you need to allow enough overlap so the barn door properly covers the opening and helps reduce visible gaps.

• If your doorway has architraves, the door should cover the architrave at the top and both sides when closed.

• If your doorway is square stopped with no architraves, allow at least 40mm overlap on each side and across the top.

You should also allow for the door to sit approximately 10mm above the finished floor for smooth operation.

Track length

As a general guide, the track length is usually a little over twice the door width. This allows the door to slide fully open beside the doorway.

Example sizes

For an opening of 2000mm high x 800mm wide with 90mm architraves, the barn door should be no smaller than:

2080mm x 980mm

For the same opening with no architraves and a square stopped finish, the door should be no smaller than:

2030mm x 880mm

Before you order

It’s also worth checking that you have enough wall space beside the opening for the door to slide open, and enough room above the opening to install the track and hangers.
