We pride ourselves on building high-quality custom barn doors that fit our client’s specific needs. We also work hard to make the ordering process simple and straightforward.  

When measuring your space for a single custom barn door, the basic rule is that you need the same amount of wall space as the width of the door itself. For example, if you want to install a 40-inch wide door, you’ll need to have at least 40 inches of wall to the left or right. It’s also important to note any obstructions on the wall. Thermostats could affect the ability of your door to close and can be relocated, as will electrical outlets.

You’ll need to provide 6 different measurements when ordering your custom barn door and hardware. Please make sure all measurements are in inches.

Width of the door opening Height of the door opening Distance to closest wall or obstruction on left Distance to the ceiling or closest overhead obstruction Distance to closest wall or obstruction on the right Width of the door trim (if there is any)

If you’re currently renovating and adding an opening for a custom barn door, we suggest you get in touch with us prior to finalizing the size and position of the opening, as we can provide some expert advice.

If you have any questions about measuring or available options, don’t hesitate to contact us; we’re always willing to help. You can call during working hours or email us with a photo and we’ll promptly reply.
