How to Make & Install a Barn Door | EASY!

[@KellyConcepts]

Would you consider using a barn door for a bathroom? Or do you need privacy? 😬 Asking to see how my house would do on the market if we added a barn door to the bathroom and decided to sell the house.. Thoughts??

[@jsf11fra]

Master bathroom seems like a fine idea to me. But on the guest bathroom that would be a little strange to use IMO.

[@andrizeefoshizee]

If I would install one for a bathroom, it would only be for a bathroom that is attached to a bedroom.

[@Garm_wolf1]

I work on a lot of new construction homes and most master baths have barn doors

[@AJbartonworkshop]

Guest bathroom...Only if the Barn door set up you were using comes with a stile pocket so you can lock it. Not having a lock on it would be strange

[@KellyConcepts]

@Enzo Moresi That's nice of you to install that for them! I installed one for a master bedroom on my previous home and it did the trick, it was private enough. And this newer one is closing off a laundry room and it blocks out noise pretty good. Definitely better than nothing!

[@TrentMRobertson]

Ratchet straps in lieu of long clamps was a brilliant idea!

[@limjahey3119]

These houses are always so clean and makes the install look so easy. What they don’t show is tools and crap everywhere and me dangling off a ladder cussing up a storm because my wife can’t figure out which tool I am asking for.

[@matthewmaher3017]

Update just bought all the wood with additional pieces for diagonals. It costs $128 for the wood only and good luck finding decent tongue and groove lumber not warped/twisted, I had to set lumber and weights on mine to get most of the spring out of it. Regardless, I still got a custom made door for a larger and taller archway (my door is 45"x90") for at least half the price for a cheap prefab one. Great video!

[@BoldTeeHub]

Could make your own tongue and groove with a router table…

[@AtlantisIndigo]

I git some decent T&G for a back wall in my basement at Lowes for $5.88 per board

[@jdneilso]

Just wanted to say thank you. With this video, and the instructions with the mounting kit, I was able to complete my own barn door project.

[@sammyg973]

I almost, well was about to get a custom door made to have the width of 44”. After seeing this I’m going to make my own. I have all the tools needed. Great inspiration / video!!! 👊🏾

[@harshasetty8667]

Just finished this build. All in it was a few hundred to a thousand dollars cheaper than buying a pre-fab from an online vendor! My only comments would be that I opted for a 2x4 header board instead of a 1" since the track hardware never aligned with the studs. It just seemed that the 2x4 would hold the track/door better than the 1x6. Thanks for posting the links to the parts.

[@kathrynb4683]

Easy peazy! Doing that tomorrow! I've been procrastinating...silly me.😊

[@AtlantisIndigo]

Wow this was a,fabulous build! I can't wait to try it

[@johnray5466]

Wow that looks great, definitely will be using the tongue and groove for mine too

[@torisebastian7065]

I suddenly need to build barn doors for a house that we don’t have. 😂 saving this video for a future project!

Hello my friend. Installation and construction of the barn door. I watched a successful study. It always works great. thank you for sharing. See you. Great greetings.

[@KellyConcepts]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@hecalex9002]

How do you measure how high the rail needs to go so when you attach the bearings to the door it ends up at just the right height

[@tylerballard1444]

Best barn door video I’ve watched ❤Thank you for sharing!

[@suebrown2206]

Very nice video, we’re making one for our pantry, heading to Menards shortly! Good job👊👊

[@KellyConcepts]

Thank you! It still works/looks like a charm - 3 years later. Enjoy

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

That barn door really looks awesome! The style, color, and hardware come together nicely. Great stud finding tip too!

[@KellyConcepts]

Thanks, I'm happy with the turnout too. Goes to show I've come a long way, the last time I made a headboard similar to this, it was all warped lol

[@Rogueknowledge]

I can feel how smooth that ride on the track feels like 🔥🔥

[@StanCrafted]

Looks great, Shaun...nice video to...I really like the zoom in on the materials...nice touch!

[@KellyConcepts]

Thanks! I'm always trying to enhance or do a new trick on each new video.

[@chadfield376]

Great video! Great idea on the blue tape trick, will definitely use that little trick when I hang my barn door 🙂

[@papapsadventures6119]

Love the simple design

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Great tip on the ratchet straps 👍👍

[@KellyConcepts]

Had to think of something here, my clamps are just short of 40" lol

[@GethinJames]

Best one of these I've seen yet.

[@jmcasteel7310]

Tongue and groove, why didn't I think of that? Definitely going that route. How much reveal between the door and the door trim when closed. Is that adjustable if too open? Great easy to follow video, thanks!

[@simonlopez83]

is that your Pops man, i love your work and this whole vibe in the video

[@SouthernEngineering]

Nice job, I do like the look. definitely 👍👍

[@KellyConcepts]

Thanks! I'm enjoying it so far

[@johnhejl6719]

Beautiful. Where did you buy that one piece track?

[@KellyConcepts]

thank you! the track was from Amazon amzn.to/4frtHVR

[@congoparrot]

i just made this. the only change I would suggest is that the horizontal supports go all the way across. i did like yours and realized the two ends were not supported and nearly broke the two end tongue and groove boards. so had to go to lowes and buy six L brackets and put them on the vertical supports connecting to the 3 horizontal supports.

[@dukejohn4749]

This was a huge help. THANK YOU !!!

[@brentwaddoups2357]

Thanks! This was the perfect tutorial for my a barn door build for our bathroom that didn't have a door. Great presentation.

[@bharned3]

Love the video wish you would have actually listed all the wood in the details

[@robert_b9251]

Can I use these tracks for outdoor shed ?

[@Repla12481]

Did you use a guide rail at the bottom?

[@mchammerberg]

Good job!! Perfect running time!

[@richdelgzz]

This is definitely the easier of the videos even considering building the door LOL others remove the casing which I am trying to avoid doing. I might just use wood filler and paint to hide the old hinge areas.

[@alexismarcial9307]

I love the video however, I do not see the material details for the wood used. I looked for a video but couldn’t find one. My door is the same size and I really want to build this. 😊

[@RobertGSolomon]

Really awesome job I'm going to use your design because of simplicity and quality

[@JustMightDIY]

This looks awesome! (And I love the handle.) I wish there was a good spot for some barn doors in this house, but alas, no dice.

[@KellyConcepts]

Haha thanks! This is literally the only spot for one in this house, so we took advantage.

[@StephenGauld]

I cannot find the materials list anywhere? Love this door

[@thistleandtwine301]

[@jimpatnode4445]

Nice. So there's no trim or anything on the back side of the door?

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

This door turned out incredible! Great job on the build and on your detailed explanations!

[@KellyConcepts]

Thank you! I wasn't sure how this one would go, but turned out great.

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

@@KellyConcepts Yes it did!

[@papapsadventures6119]

Did you install the door guide on the floor?

[@chrissaunders9230]

Great job and great video! I have a question. I built doors like this with t & g pine about 5 years ago and also used the same hardware. I glued the t & g together. About a year later, a couple of the vertical boards split. I realized then that I should not have glued the t & g to each other, but only glue the face boards to the t & g. When boards dry, they shrink in width, but not in length. The vertical t & g boards want to shrink while the horizontal face boards won't. Since the t & g boards are connected to each other and trying to pull apart and the horizontals won't let them, they are forced to split since the glue is so strong. Did you have any issues with splitting?

[@ksneek5639]

I would love to see another video of you doing EXACTLY that but instead of for a door making them barn shutters for windows (to open and close and let light in as you please)

[@KellyConcepts]

That would be AWESOME! I have a room I'll be turning into a movie room soon and that could be a great way to block off the sunlight completely - rather than blinds.

[@ksneek5639]

@@KellyConcepts Make. It. Happen!

[@clarababb7730]

Is there a gap between the door and wall

[@simonlopez83]

Is there a list where i can see the exact size of materials with details down to size of every wooden board, lug bolts and everything else you used?

[@montimitchell5931]

How do you keep the door from swinging out? It the some kind of guide on the floor?

I just bought a new home and I have no door in my master bedroom leading to the sinks (but there is a door that goes in to the toilet/shower area.) After watching this video I'll definitely be building similar to this soon!!! Great job on the video and beautiful door!!

[@tylertopa5363]

Had to take the bar back off to slide on the stoppers. should almost slide them on and into the rough area that they will sit and then put up the bar. Also what about the floor guide? How did you do your groove for the guide to slide into? Nice finish on the wood!

[@crystalwandell9721]

What is the best hardware to use. We recently bought and assembled a barn door from Amazon but the screws don't seem to hold. So now we are planning to mount the 2x4 for a more secure fit.

[@theastrocave]

What holds the door at the bottom? How does it not wave back and forth?

[@comfortablynumb8832]

Hi what colour was the stain? Oak?

[@rexshepherd4062]

How did you stabilize the bottom of door

[@isaiahrockne8698]

At, 6:25 - Why are the slats on the backside of the door smaller than the front? Did you sandwich different wood pieces to the back to make the door thicker? What am I seeing here?

[@KellyConcepts]

the back side of the tongue and groove has a line through the middle - it's how it comes from the store. It was unexpected but I ended up loving the look, almost better than the front side.

[@lidistah]

Hi what kind of door can I use with this?

[@anishajohnson2596]

Love love love this. I hope I can pull it off.

Great how to video! I'm looking at building my own barn door also and wanted to see different ways of building one! Thanks again! Also, I SUBBED!!

[@barton77]

What did you use to secure the rail tot the header board? I couldn't quite see in the video. My rail came with lag bolts. In theory, I feel that they are long enough to go through the header board and the rails with spacers but that kinda defeats the purpose of the header board right?

[@handymanny1135]

Nice 👍🏽

[@gasousman]

how thick are those t&G boards?

[@austincaldwell9010]

What type of wood did you use? Looks great.

[@dakotaknowles1834]

How does the bottom of the door not sway? I’m going to put one in while my house is being remodeled but I’m worried about it swaying. Nothing attaches to the bottom to prevent that?

[@FranciscoTorres-dj8mv]

What size lag screws for the header board to the studs ?

[@jasonmennella2862]

Nice job and looks great. Did you use anything at the bottom to stop the door from swaying? I’m about to make a similar door and wondering if I need to drill into my floor. I have 2 kids around your little one’s age and I obviously don’t want them messing with it. Thanks.

[@KellyConcepts]

Thank you Jason! The door kit I used came with 2 different types of bottom door brackets that keep it from swaying. The bracket has a wheel so the door rolls along side it. One is for fastening to the floor and the other is for fastening to the wall/trim and it extends under and around the face of the door (which is what I used). Additionally, and I still need to this to mine, there are little disk to install at the top of the door that will make it where the door can't be lifted off the rails - huge safety issue here. Also included in most kits.

[@TammyBauer-ip3se]

Is there no handle on the inside? Does that make it hard to open and close?

[@Elkompamando]

Question, would this be considered fine woodworking or finished carpentry? I want to work specifically on barn doors but dont know what direction to take

[@DdDten]

Great vid. Checked my local home depot for materials list. Very expensive wow!! Almost cheaper to buy one but I love the feeling of diy

[@KellyConcepts]

Prices of lumber have gone up atleast twice by now due to covid

[@1964-l4n]

@@KellyConcepts And still much cheaper than buying one.

[@diy_Hubby]

Have you had any issues with warping with the season changes?

[@KellyConcepts]

I haven't - the combination of clear coating all sides of wood, the 3 cross bracing pieces, and the tongue and groove design have kept it from twisting.
