8 Cabinet Barn Door Hardware Customization Options to Consider
Taking your home’s interior design to the next level is all about the little
details. Barn doors are a popular decor choice and have moved beyond being just exterior doors. But, if you
don’t have the space to use a full-sized barn door in your interior design, you can still use this style in
other areas of your home.
Using classic barn doors on smaller, custom projects
can help you get the look and feel of barn doors without needing as much space. They don’t have to be the
traditional weathered wood doors that are commonly seen, either. There are so many different options in terms of
barn door style, hardware systems, finishes, and handles that you can truly create the finishing touches for
your project.
The customization you can achieve with cabinet barn door hardware
kit can add a dramatic flair to your home, pulling your entire design together.

The barn door style cabinet hardware takes this interior design style to the
next level, while still giving you the customization that comes with large barn doors. There are many uses for
small barn doors including using them as window shutters, as drawer fronts, to hide your TV stand, to close your
pantry or closet, or even to create unique kitchen cabinets.
Using rolling barn doors gives a unique element to your home’s overall interior design. This
is true whether you use them as full-sized doors or simply as cabinet doors. You are no longer
limited to hinges. A little DIY barn door creativity will allow you to create the overall interior
design aesthetic you’ve been dreaming of.
1. Hardware System
The sliding cabinet door hardware used is similar to the hardware kit larger
barn doors use, except on a smaller scale. There are three main types of systems that are used with
cabinet barn door hardware:
Standard. This system is like your standard, single panel barn door. It will
slide open along the wall, simply going to the end of the track.
Bi-parting. This system is used with double
barn doors, similar to French
doors. They do not pass over one another but rather part their separate ways, sliding
along the track in opposite directions, to reveal the cabinet’s contents.
Light-duty bypass. This type of hardware system is to allow bypass
barn doors to slide one barn door in front of or behind the other barn door.
Many times if you are working with a raised cabinet, your clearance for
the sliding cabinet barn door hardware is small. This is where a mini barn door hardware kit for cabinet
comes in handy. You can get mini bypass barn door hardware or even a mini double barn door hardware kit
if the mini standard barn door hardware doesn’t suit your style.
2. Finish
Once you know how you want your cabinet doors to slide, the finish of your sliding
cabinet barn door hardware is one of the biggest, most important design elements for your cabinet
door. Each finish has its own vibe and overall feel. However, this can shift depending on the
style of the door it is paired with. For instance, if you are looking for a rustic vibe, you may opt to
pair a reclaimed wood door with barn door hardware in a brushed stainless steel finish. On the other
hand, if you are looking for something more
industrial, you
may want to go with a barn door with a leather finish with hardware in a raw steel finish.
Numerous finishes are often available, including those that
highlight the materials they are constructed from, those that are coated in a solid color to add
a design element, and those that bring a natural weathered look to the classic barn door. Simply
pick the finish that aligns with the overall style of your space that you
envision.
3. Door Hanger
The door hanger and wheel style used as barn door rollers can make a big
impact on the overall design of the barn door cabinet. Your wheel style options will be determined by
whether you are using traditional full-sized barn door hardware or mini barn door hardware. Using mini
barn door hardware for the wheel helps ensure there is enough clearance for your door, especially with
raised cabinets or limited space. There are fewer options in decorative hardware for barn door cabinets
than with traditional, full-sized interior barn doors. While the door hanger and wheel styles are more
limited, there are still several options to help complete the overall look. These wheels and hangers
come in simple finishes such as black nylon, metal, metal with a black center, steel, or even wood.
4. Stop Style
When you have a rolling barn door, large or small, you need to prevent
it from rolling off the end of the track. You need to pick a stop style for the style of door hanger you
are using. Door hangers can come in a variety of styles and shapes, and some have an angled edge and
others have a vertical edge.
However, since cabinet hardware must be
small to fit low clearances, most cabinet door hangers have a vertical edge, so the stop you choose will
be mostly aesthetic. There are three different types of stop styles:
Hard Stop. This stop style has a small piece of flat metal, cushioned with
rubber to prevent the door from rolling off the track. It is recommended if your door hanger has
a vertical edge.
Soft Stop. Unlike the hard stop, this stop style is round, instead of vertical
and flat. It uses a bolt surrounded in rubber to stop the door from falling off the track.
Soft Close. A soft close system is hidden behind the rail. Installing one will
bring the doors slowly to a soft stop at their final position. This system can be especially
helpful when using more fragile doors, such as a sliding glass door. However, with heavier solid
wood doors, it can also prove beneficial. Whether your door is fragile or heavy, a soft close
system will prevent the door from slamming when opening or closing. This can help prevent glass
in your door from shattering and reduce wear and tear
5. Track Length
While you can choose the style of track you want with classic barn doors, only
one kind of door track is available for cabinets. However, customization comes into play when it comes
to track length. Cabinet barn door tracks tend to average 4 to 8 feet but can be fully customized up to
23 feet. The length of track that you will need depends on the opening you want to cover on your cabinet
and the hardware system you select.
When you purchase your cabinet door track you can get it with
or without pre-drilled holes. If you are using a header or your wall is already supported go with
pre-drilled holes. Otherwise, choose a track with no holes and drill them according to where you need
them when installing.
6. Door Guide
A door guide is a small piece that keeps the cabinet barn door aligned as it opens
and closes. It helps prevent the door from being pulled away from the opening or rubbing along the edge
of the opening. Depending on your style, use, and space you can choose between small, strategically
placed guides, or continuous guides that stretch the entire length of the track.
Door guides are
also available as either a floor mount or a wall mount, and there are various finishes and styles
available. If you have raised cabinets, you’ll want to go with a wall-mount door guide. On the other
hand, if your cabinet is low, you can go with either the wall-mount or floor-mount door guide.
7. Front Handles
Barn door
pulls are another design element that can help pull your whole design style together. Many
different types of barn door handles are available, making it easy to find a style that will make your
space complete. You can choose a style that is raised, or you can opt for a flush handle similar to what
is used with a pocket door. Barn door handles can be as simple as bare metal or covered in wood or rope.
Or, you may go with another style door altogether and opt for a ring for a handle.
Like other
cabinet barn door hardware, your front handles are available in many different finishes including raw
steel, brushed steel, and brushed stainless steel. You can choose to go with the same finish for all
parts of your hardware or you can go with something else entirely. Whatever decorative sliding door
hardware you choose will add to the overall style of your barn door cabinets.
8. Latches
A latch is an important option when thinking about small barn door hardware for
cabinets. You may choose to forego any latches.
However, if you need to make sure your cabinet
stays shut, it’s easy to put in a latch. You can go basic and simply use a hook and eye type latch to
keep the cabinet closed. However, if you want something a bit more stylish, use a barn door teardrop
latch. These latches attach to either the door or the jamb, latching the door shut. Another benefit of
these latches is that they come in several different finishes to go with other elements of your
design.

8 Ways to Use Mini Barn Door Hardware
1. TV Console
Long gone are the days of the giant television and entertainment consoles that
monopolize an entire wall of the living room. The minimalist movement has shifted design styles more
towards the cleaner look of a wall-mounted TV. Great for entertaining and space-saving; not so great on
the aesthetic side.
This is where mini barn door roller hardware comes in handy. By utilizing the
mini double barn door hardware kit, you can create a look that will conceal your beloved DVDs collection
from prying eyes and give a more upscale look overall. Who needs to go to the basement to watch the next
documentary when the living room looks so good?
2. Kitchen Cabinets
Ah, the kitchen. The heart of the home. Kitchen cabinets have come a long
way from traditional builder-grade cabinets. We’ve seen all sorts of woods, stains, paints, finishes,
and shapes of cabinetry throughout the years, but the one beautiful thing about it all is the ability to
customize and make the space your own.
If you have cabinets where little hands are often needing
to access, or you want to add a bit of decor to the smaller, center cabinets above your sink or stove,
mini barn door hardware for cabinets is a great option for those wanting to get rid of traditional
cabinet doors. You can even add stainless steel hardware to match your existing appliances.
Mini

for the door system you would like to use.
3. Window Treatments
Window treatments, like blinds and curtains, can be expensive to install
and a pain to maintain. Using a mini sliding barn door hardware kit, you can install barn
door shutters in any space to quickly and conveniently cover any window; no upkeep
required.
4. Laundry Sliding Doors
If there is anything that is out of sight out of mind for most of us
(or at least, we wish it were) it’s laundry. No matter how new or pretty your machines are, chances are
your home layout has them tucked away behind tri-fold shutters or clunky hinged doors. Bypass mini barn
door hardware is a great way to add functionality and save space - these doors are capable of sliding
behind each other to access what is behind each individual door. When it comes time to fold the laundry
though, you are on your own.
5. Utility Rooms and Storage Areas
If you want to replace other cabinets or closet doors in your
house, look no further than the utility room and storage areas. These spaces are typically tucked away
in a basement. Using smooth, nylon wheels and a door track, you can add in bypass mini barn door
hardware to easily access these storage areas of the home while increasing the overall look and value of
your house.
6. Bathroom Door Replacement
By far and large, a crowd favorite for door systems is adding a barn
door for bathrooms. While it may not always be possible to add a full-size barn
door to your bathroom space, you can easily add a mini barn door system to the bathroom vanity or
medicine cabinet. A variety of hardware and door handles are available to customize the door to fit your
style.
7. Playhouse Doors
If you’ve been on Pinterest, you’ve likely seen the play areas that are made
under the stairs. It’s not a reach to say you could create your own using the super mini sliding barn
door hardware kit. These areas often go under-utilized, yet they are the perfect space for your young
kids to play house.
Another fun idea is to add a Dutch door.
Just be sure to measure to make sure your doors and hinges will fit the space.
8. Custom Barn Door for Wardrobe Doors
You’re not stuck with the traditional two-set closet
doors anymore. A DIY mini barn door hardware door kit can help you convert a standard bedroom into a
high-end looking space. Mini double barn door hardware would be the best item to use here so that the
doors can be fully open or closed, depending on use.

off the end of the track. Additionally, if you’re installing your smaller barn door in
an area where you want to make sure your door will glide quietly closed, you
may want to choose

How to
Maintain Cabinet Barn Door Hardware
Once
you’ve chosen the mini barn door hardware kit that completes your new barn door, you’ll need
to take care of it to maintain its look and functionality over time.
When it comes to cleaning the pulls or handles for
your barn door, you have a few options. You can use a simple surface cleaner, like
409 or something similar, or if you lean toward more natural cleaning products, you
can use a simple mixture of vinegar and water to wipe down your cabinet barn door
handle. This helps keep germs, dirt, and grime from building up over time since the
door handle is constantly being touched.
If your door handle or other hardware is made of
brass, bronze, or nickel, here’s a great pro tip: you can clean the hardware with
olive oil. Olive oil wipes away dirt and grime, plus it leaves a bright finish with
no streaking. If your hardware is made of stainless steel, you can generally use any
cleaner that’s also safe for glass—undiluted vinegar also makes an excellent
cleaning choice. Just make sure to always use a soft cloth so that you don’t take a
chance on leaving scratches behind, while avoiding bleaches or other harsh cleaning
agents. If you gently clean and polish your mini barn door hardware on a regular
basis, they’ll look beautiful and function well for many years to
come.
While
you’re cleaning, it’s a good idea to dust your cabinet barn doors on a regular basis.
You can simply wipe down the door slab with a damp, soft cloth, paying special attention
to any beveled areas. You also should wipe down the frame around your sliding cabinet
door. If your door is made of glass and/or metal, you’ll need to watch for fingerprints.
You can generally use any glass cleaner or simple vinegar to keep your sliding cabinet
barn door looking its best.

DIY barn doors aren’t

especially with your cabinets. All you need is some mini barn door hardware that is easy to

will make a huge impact on your decor, whether it's in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or family
room.

modern or to your taste. Between the various styles that are available for doors, finishes, and
