| Details | Available in a variety of finishes and styles, barn door hardware is a stylish and versatile option for interior and exterior doors. Barn door hardware consists of a track, and rollers or hangers. The track is installed above the doorway, while the rollers or hangers are affixed to the door, enabling it to slide along the track | There are various types of hardware available for bifold doors, including bottom-mounted, top-mounted, and center-mounted tracks, as well as different types of pivots and hinges to suit different door styles and weight capacities. Bifold doors are commonly used in closets, pantries, and as room dividers. | Bypass door hardware enables you to mount a second track in front of the first, allowing the doors to overlap when opening. This configuration saves space and serves as a great alternative to bifold door systems. | Pocket door hardware is a practical solution for homes and offices with limited space. This type of configuration enables the door to slide into a wall cavity or pocket when opened, allowing for space-saving and a seamless transition between rooms. |
