Does the hardware have a track on the bottom or just the top?

6 years ago

We have a similar door hanging in our basement and it hangs/slams a lot on the trim. Do you have any suggestions of how to fix it? Should we put a track along the bottom?

The barn doors we install have guides at the bottom that keep it parallel to the wall. This guide serves as a stop to keep the door from slamming into the jamb/trim. There are typically stops integrated into the over head track hardware as well.

That's what I thought. We have a stopper at the top, but nothing at the bottom and the door swings too far away from the wall. Thank you for the quick reply!

I like this tile as well. Very sleek and mod looking. I would consider running it vertically instead of the picture horizontal pattern. It might give the illusion of more height in the shower surround. The color is great. If you are worried about it being "too much," you could always see if they have the same tile in a different shade and mix the two or doing one wall in a contrasting (lighter) color. I personally like it as long as you have good lighting.

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

the 9' ceiling height will definitely help you with this. Here's what I would suggest (not knowing how far the side window is from the wall with the door on it: Use the wall with the door as the bed and closet/storage area. Build a closet, and put a loft bed at the top. Because it would have to be custom built, you can decide how high it is or how much storage you need. Kind of like this: [houzz=] or this: [houzz=] Can the space below the back window become a desk? And or/build a desk there with storage flanking it. Keep in mind that this isn't a very large room, and he'll probably want as much floor space as possible (at least my 8 year old does!).

Are you saying you will be layering a wooden false wall on top of the existing wall to hold the pocket door? If that is the case, you might want to treat the entire side of that new and existing wall ( including the area above doorway) as an accent wall using wood veneer strips. They look like actual pieces of wood plank which have adhesive backing, they come in a variety of finishes and colors...I like the old reclaimed wood look. A diagonal pattern would add extra visual interest, but would be more intense to cut and install. That will camouflage the additional layer and create a beautiful accent wall.
