Because they don't swing outward like traditional hinged doors, barn doors save floor space. This makes them ideal for narrow hallways and smaller rooms. However, due to their configuration, they require wall space. Because the panels glide along the wall, light switches, power outlets, art, mirrors, or any tall furniture cannot be placed where the door slides open.

Because of their configuration, barn doors aren't inherently soundproof and cannot provide the same privacy levels as traditional hinged doors. Barn doors glide along the wall, so there is a small gap around the edges that allows sound to pass through. Use a solid core wood door to reduce noise as much as possible.

Barn doors require adjacent wall space at least equal to the width of the door. If the barn door is 36 inches wide, it will need 36 inches of empty wall space to the left or the right for the panel to slide along completely open. The wall space must be clear of light switches, outlets, HVAC vents, art, and furniture.

Barn doors need to be larger than the doorway opening so they fully cover it when closed. Measure the width of the opening, including trim, and add 2 to 4 inches. Measure the height from the floor to the top of the door casing and add at least an inch. There should be an overlap to the opening to ensure light and sound blockage.

Barn doors can be locked but only with special locks, as standard doorknob deadbolts won't work. Teardrop locks, hook-and-eye latches, and floor-mounted locks work for barn doors. A teardrop lock works by fastening to the door trim and rotating into a keeper on the back of the door. Hook-and-eye latches are mounted inside the room. Floor-mounted locks also keep the door secured from sliding from the inside of the room.

As long as you install a small guide, no, barn doors will not swing out from the wall. There are two types of barn door guides: a floor-mounted guide that fits inside a hidden groove cut into the bottom edge of the door, and wall-mounted stay rollers, which are small wheels fixed to the baseboard that hold the door flush against the wall.
