barn door hardware kits

Did you know that barn doors don’t have to look rustic? By using one of Eightdoor’s barn door hardware kits, you can turn any slab door into a single, or double, barn door! 

Be it in the city or on the farm, the space saving barn door provides an elegant, countryside feel. Barn doors have been a functional but aesthetically pleasing product for ages — we think it will continue to feel this way for many years to come, especially when considering its stylistic versatility. Barn doors are the champions of country, traditional and modern interior schemes alike.

In addition to our wide variety of doors, we also offer a selection of barn door hardware kits so you can customize the look and feel of your barn door. 

But how do you select the right barn door hardware kit for your home? We are going to walk you through your options to help you decide which kit makes the most sense for you.

Top Mount Hardware Kits

The Top Mount Barn Door Kits are ideal for people looking for an ultra-sleek, modern barn door look. Because the matte black hardware can’t be seen from the front, you can select a door that makes an impact all on it’s own. This style comes in two different sizes, the 96″ top mount kit and the 78.74″ top mount kit. The 78.74” kit is ideal for openings up to 36”, where the 96” kit is best for openings up to 48”. Made of premium steel with quality craftsmanship, our barn door hardware delivers quiet bearing wheels that are still durable enough to hold up to 265 lbs. Top mount hardware kits are compatible with all of our slab doors.

Whereas we think the kits look great with all of Eightdoors’, the top mount hardware kit looks incredible with our tempered glass doors and modern doors like our flush semi-solid doors.

Wagon Wheel Hardware Kits

Wagon Wheel Barn Door Hardware Kit adds a classic farmhouse look to ordinary doors by incorporating barn door style and functionality. Made of premium black matte steel and quality craftsmanship construction, our barn door hardware delivers quiet bearing wheels and durability to hold up to 265lbs. 

The bearing wheels are representative of our quality craftsmanship; they quietly and smoothly roll along the track. Anti-jump discs prevent the hanger wheels from falling off the track, so you never have to worry about your door jumping off!

No matter what color your door is, the matte black finish will certainly stand out. Industrial, modern, farmhouse chic, scandinavian and minimalist styles will all be complemented by the black matte color. The wagon wheels are a statement that will really complement your existing rustic decor. 

The kit is available in two sizes, 96″ Wagon Wheel Hardware Kit and the 78.74″ Wagon Wheel Barn Door Kit.

This kit is compatible with all of our slab doors, but really stands out on our classic barn doors.
