Where to Buy Barn Door Hardware
Barn door hardware, a popular and reliable alternative for movement hardware for the doors in your home, is a smart choice for homeowners. Movement hardware refers to the hardware on the door that allows it to move back and forth into the open and closed positions. Most commonly one would find hinges on a door that cause it to swing open and closed. Hinges are the standard form of movement hardware for doors.
Yet many homeowners are now looking for alternatives to traditional hinge hardware. Other forms of movement hardware include pocket doors, roller tracks, high-tech stainless steel tracks, and folding doors. Unfortunately many of those systems can be fairly expensive, and often require an arduous installation. Pocket doors require that you buy a kit, and then have that installed in your home. Assuming that you are using an existing door, by the time you purchase the kit and have it installed by a professional carpenter, it could end up costing $700+! Plus there’s all the hassle of removing the dry-wall on the adjacent wall for installation, then replacing it and repainting. The project ends up being a head-ache more than anything else.
The same is true for the other systems such as folding doors and doors on ground tracks that slide into the wall. As for the high-tech stainless steel track systems, the most reliable ones come from Europe and can cost up to $10,000! They really are amazing if you have that kind of money to spend.
For the rest of us who don’t have that kind of surplus income, another alternative is a much more reasonable choice. It’s called barn door hardware, also known as flat track hardware, and it is both quality and economic. Its simplistic design and solid construction make this a long-lasting product. Since it operates exterior the wall instead of on the interior like a pocket door, its installation is quick and easy with virtually no post-project clean-up. Its variety of finishes to choose from make it so the hardware can match the decor of any room and the style of any door.
The question is, where can you find this hardware? How can you be sure you are getting the highest quality and most reliable kind? The best place to find this hardware is online. Shipping is usually limited; typically restricted to the continental United States and Canada. Check around with different suppliers, many are willing to price match if you’re not satisfied with the quote they give you.
