5 ways to upgrade your client’s barn door

By Erica Navarro Published March 9, 2022

Are you an interior designer working with a client that dreams of the perfect barn door for their bathroom or bedroom? Have they talked to you about what they envision or are looking to elevate a door they already own? Do you and your clients want beautiful, quality products that are made to last and will accommodate different door widths? From door tracks, latch locks, faux hinges, handles, and more, we have five items and ways to upgrade any client’s barn door, add finishing touches, keep them happy, and give you rave reviews.

Give your clients everything they want and more. If a client desires a noiseless railing that holds up to 265 pounds, suggest the 9- or 13-foot durable sliding track kit. If you have a client who needs extra privacy, you can highly recommend the latch lock. For clients who aren’t interested in installation but want something that looks nice, the faux hinges and handles will do the trick. Plus, they can double as garage door decorations to provide a cohesive look. The wall-mounted bracket is ideal for any client since it adjusts to varying widths, and the modern matte black door handle is great for clients looking for both style and function. You can easily upgrade your clients’ barn doors while keeping everyone pleased.
