Sliding door

8 years ago

Did you put anything on the bottom of the door to help it keep in line as you slide it. I have a barn door with this type of hardware but not sure if it needs some sort of guide on the bottom?

Hello, laurz84,
Thank you for your interest in our designs! Our craftsmen route/cut a groove (to specs provided by the door guide manufacturer) in the door and installed a concealed door guide to the floor similar to the one in the photo.
This will keep the door from swinging in/out. Set your door stop so the guide stays concealed. It works really well - Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Marty

Thanks for replying, the picture is really useful to see how you have fitted the guide.

With a sliding door, you can have each side different to match the style of the room it faces. Here are some ideas that, believe it or not, are done with sharpies on flat surfaces. I can envision a "fireplace" on the lounge side. On the dining room side, you could do the "double door" look, by putting half on the door, and half on the wall next to the door. So when the door is closed, it looks like a pair of doors, but when the door is slid open it looks like only one door (but it's the wall!) I added the 3rd picture just because I think it's so cool. I believe the only "real" thing in the room is the glass table/desk, and the filing cabinet.
