Take a look at the photos and let me know what thought.
Is 68 lbs too heavy for barn door over stairway.
Mounting over a bay window.
I am mounting shutters using the same hardware used for barn door sliders.
Of weight along the header.
We d love to to add a door to the bottom of this stairway if possible.
In the past i ve had to shout a warning when i heard someone coming up the stairs.
I have calculated i need 12 hardware.
You do not need to remove the trim.
As you can see there s not much space for a door to swing.
The nice thing about the jeld wen barn door kit is you can install the door right over your existing door trim.
Maybe it just slides an inch maybe it opens all the way.
Either way you re left possibly in an awkward position or state of undress with the door hanging wide open.
Area you want it installed.
This means if the door is not slid shut just so it s not going to stay put.
The barn door hardware is placed on the exterior of the.
Doors other than the required egress door shall be provided with landings or floors not more than 73 4 inches 196 mm below the top of the threshold.
Barn door installation without removing door trim just a quick spackle.
What i need to know is if the window is surrounded by 3 4 trim and the shutters are 1 and 3 4 thick can i mount the hardware to the wall with enough space to run the shutters back and forth over the window opening or do i absolutely have to.
However it is very possible for the door you ve selected to be too heavy for the.
We would generally want to have the door open most of the time thus the door should be out of the way when open.
