When measuring an opening for a barn door there are 5 key measurements to take into account.

1.The height of your opening from the floor to the top of the opening.

2.The width of your opening.

3.The distance between the right of the door opening and the adjacent wall.

4.The distance between the left of the door opening and adjacent wall.

5.The space between the top of the opening and the ceiling.

FOR THE WIDTH

For the width of your barn door we recommend at least a 4 inch overlay. For example if you have a 32 inch wide opening you would want at least a 36 inch wide barn door.

FOR THE HEIGHT

For the height of your barn door we recommend at least 2 inch overlay. For example if you have an opening of 80 inches tall you would want an 82 inch door height. ONLY IF YOUR OPENING IS WRAPPED IN DRYWALL FOR FINISH OR IF YOUR HEADER

TRIM IS THE SAME LENGTH AS THE RAIL FOR YOUR BARN DOOR .

This is the method we recommend just because you won’t always be able to line up the pre drilled holes in the top rail of the door hardware and the studs in your wall to make it

work out so if you have a top trim wide enough to attach the top rail to that is attached to the studs in your wall you will be much better off than placing the hardware on the

drywall itself.

Example’s for this method of attachment.

32” wide x 79” tall you will need a 36” wide x 81” tall barn door

36” wide x 82” tall you will need a 40” wide x 84” tall barn door

For this method here are some standard door sizes:

30”x81” barn door

36”x81” barn door

40”x81” barn door

Now let’s give you a different situation. If you have a door opening that has been trimmed out and you don’t want to change the top trim to match the length of the the top rail for the hardware this is how you measure for your barn door. This is probably most common.

FOR THE WIDTH

• You will measure from the outside of the trim on both side’s for the width and you won’t

  have to add anything to this measurement it should give you plenty for privacy, hopefully it’s an even number or close.

  FOR THE HEIGHT

  You will measure from the floor to the top of the top trim and add 2 inches for your barn door .

  For this method here are some standard door sizes:

  30”x84” barn door

  36”x84” barn door

  40”x84” barn door
