How to Install a Barn Door from Costco

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Would you buy a pre-made barn door or DIY one?

[@Zazu2You]

I may try a DIY door using french doors for a double opening. Not sure, at this point. Cheers!!

[@vickycorey8195]

I can't do the work myself, but my sister and brother-in-law would, so I would diy it, kind of. Lol

[@HunteroftheNorth]

Yes, this stuff is super simple to install and the door looks great.

[@roikhockenberger2790]

Just watch the KZbin videos of people trying to make DIY doors. That will pretty much answer this question.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh wow! I think these are so cool, especially if the door you are replacing doesn't give you enough room to really move around, my house doesn't have any doors that are in the way, and the one door I had in my bedroom that is where it leads into the bathroom, I just took it down and put up a door curtain and it's the main bathroom so I can shut the other door and the bedroom door to give myself privacy when using it. But when I redesign my carport into a little cottage, I might have a barn door inside. Thanks for a great video and so glad you had the extra help it turned out really cool. Sending love and hugs, bye for now.🥰💜

Great video! Thanks for the info on the soft close! I could not figure what was wrong on ours! Big help!!

[@chuckdilmore2040]

Just bought one of these today - 1/2 installed, so far. But WOW, nice work on this video! Thanks!

[@michelfortin9249]

Great video tks ! and just in case you hadn't thought about it ... you can get some white screw caps at your local hardware store and this will hide the black screw heads.

Thank you for this video! I just got my barn door!

[@Zazu2You]

That barn door looks awesome!! I've been thinking about installing a double door in our living room. Great price, too!! Cheers!!

[@jrhumphrey9019]

Great video! I saw them today and will be going back tomorrow to buy two. Can these doors be painted?

[@seastarbutterfly]

I struggle with an inward swinging door that butts up with another inward door to get from my garage to inside the house. This would be the perfect fix!

[@geriesdorkhom4788]

Got same exact door after it was marked down. $50!

I can't tell from the video, but did you all screw the lag bolts that hold the metal bar in place, into the studs in the wall?

[@randyparon6594]

Great video, thanks! I also bought this barn door, and I agree - instructions aren't great. Here's my dumb question: I'm assuming that the black rail needs to be lined up with the studs as well, seeing as it is holding the door up? Did you screw those big lag bolts in between the smaller screws that were used for the header board, so that they were all screwed into the studs? Thanks!!

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

The black rail doesn't line up with studs, that's why you use the white header board. The white board is secured into studs, then the rail is secured to the while board. Our DIY barn door video might help explain this better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6SzaWuNl5pmirM

My mother in law just bought this door. Of course I get the call ti install it. Did the door come with the header board as well? Or am I taking a trip to the local home depot...?

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

It came with it.

[@mangopuppybaby]

Is the door particle board or hallow? I am looking at buying this door and I wanted to know what it was made of. We are hoping it will help with sound reduction.

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

It seems pretty solid. It would probably help a little with sound reduction.

[@xccess21]

the manual is suck, can you help me measure either from the top or bottom header board to the ground ....the diagram show in the manual is confusing

[@sailormike77]

What is the drill bit you’re using to fasten the screws onto the header board?

[@coolasschris814]

Where is the header board location?

[@lisaczech3778]

do you happen to know the height of the door with the hardware attached to the top? i want to pick one of these up but have had issues in the past with barn doors because my ceilings are a little shorter than average

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Approximately 89 1/2 inches from floor to top of barn door hardware.

[@kimgeegee]

Plan for an addition 5” clearance above the top of the hardware. With hardware it is 89 1/2”. So 93-94 is minimum ceiling height. This is NOT mentioned in the instructions. Found out the hard way but did what these women suggested - assemble door hardware first and check for clearances. BTW, repacking this for return was more time than the set up and check. This will not work in seven foot ceiling spaces, this many mobile homes and older cabins may not be workable locations.

[@CarolinaRealEstateGuide]

The instructions that come with this are horrible. Was hoping you guys had more detail of the install.
