Choosing the Right Bypass Barn Door Hardware Kit: Everything You Need to Know
If you're considering installing a barn door but are limited on wall space, a bypass barn door hardware kit might be the perfect solution. At Homacer, we specialize in offering hardware that works not just beautifully—but practically too. Whether you're remodeling your home or just replacing an outdated door, here’s everything you need to know before choosing the right bypass system for your space.
What Is a Barn Door Hardware Kit?
A barn door hardware kit includes all the parts you need to hang and slide a barn door. That means tracks, rollers, brackets, and screws—basically everything except the door itself. It’s designed to give your home a clean, functional, and stylish look while maximizing available space.
Why Use a Bypass Kit in Tight Spaces?
Not all rooms can accommodate the space required for a single sliding barn door. If there's a cabinet, wall, or window in the way, a traditional setup won’t work. That’s where bypass barn door systems shine. These kits allow doors to slide in front of each other rather than across a full wall—perfect for closets, laundry rooms, or small hallways.
How to Measure for a Bypass Barn Door
Getting the measurements right is crucial. You’ll want to measure the width and height of your door opening and ensure each door panel can fully cover the width when closed. Generally, the track should be at least double the width of one door so both can slide smoothly. Also, check the vertical clearance—Homacer kits typically need at least 8 inches from the top of the door to the ceiling.
If you're not confident in your measurements, feel free to contact us—we’re always here to help.
