Reclaimed Lumber Products offered me a set of their flat track barn door hardware to giveaway to one lucky reader! I really love the look of this flat track, don’t you?
They also sell really nice doors, hence the name, Reclaimed Lumber Products.
Some tips from their site about choosing a barn door:
- Size the door slightly larger than the trimmed opening.
- Have the reveal or overlap of the door the same on all three sides. Our rule of thumb is to make this reveal be at least 1 1/2″. On a single door then you make the slab 3″ wider than the inside dimension of the trimmed opening. If you set the door 1/2″ off the floor, make the door slab 1″ taller than the finished opening from floor to bottom of trim header.
- When trimming the opening consider how the trim will look and the reveal with the door installed. You may want the door to be large enough to cover the trim altogether.
- Use thinner trim for a cased opening or sheetrock wrap that won’t get in the way of the sliding door.
- There needs to be clearance above the door opening for the hardware (this varies). Our flat track requires about 4.5″ above door, and our V track is a great low clearance option requiring less than 3″.
- Preferably there is room to fully open the door to one side of the opening.
- Order you track length use twice the door slab width.
- Make sure you have a means to get the door into the building, especially if it is an oversized door. If the door design is too large to move into building easily we will build it in a version that can be assembled from components once inside.
- One key item that makes your install easier is to have solid backing or a continuous header for the full length of the track. A continuous header makes it easier to find a sturdy spot to drill your lags into when mounting the track. Otherwise, you will need to locate the studs. The track hardware we carry can be ordered with holes evenly spaced about 16″ on center, custom drilled spacing, or no holes at all so you can drill to your preference in the field.
- We have special construction techniques that can make a very large, thick, solid wood door light relative to its size. Just be sure to verify the weight of the door and what your track is rated for.
- When purchasing your door for the track compare quality of how the door is made and if you want both sides of the door to look nice whether opened or closed. There is huge difference in quality of construction of available. Our doors are not the cheapest option, and the quality reflects that.
- Also consider door design and panel configuration for how it will look on both sides of the door whether opened or closed.

Thank you Reclaimed Lumber Products for providing this prize.
I really want to put a barn door gng to my basement.
How fun!
I would love to put a barn door on my kitchen however the hubster may leave me over that one…but I’m thinking in my kitchen, doorway to the basement would look fabulous with this door!
My wife loves this website – she also loves the barn door tracks at RLP. I’m sure we could use one somewhere…
I would use a entry way into our new addition.
I have been wanting one of these doors for a while. We have no door between our Mudroom and Kitchen, nor do we have room for a door that swings either way. It would be nice to have a door to close to contain a wet puppy or an untidy room. Barn doors look so pretty opened or closed!
These are fantastic! I could use one in every room in the house! Thanks for sharing!
We have a tiny bedroom that requires one to shut the door just to walk from one side to the other; hinging it to open out would block off the little sub-hallway it and another bedroom are off of. A sliding door would be a PERFECT solution!
I’d love to put this in the doorway between master bath and bedroom. There are just too many doors in that small area with the two closet doors too.
I LOVE these doors! I would put some on the doorway to our Master bath from the bedroom!
I would put a barn window door in my loft!
I would love a barn door on my tiny bathroom! No more swinging door taking up precious space! Plus it would be so pretty!
I would use the barn door hardware to make a screen door from my dining room out to my deck! I’d seen this idea on a blog and thought it would make a great way to add some charm to the deck.
I would use it on my master bathroom, it has no door and it’s so annoying! I have wanted a sliding barn door there since we bought the house nearly 3 years ago, but we just haven’t gotten around to it!
I’d actually use the doors on our garage. It’s an old-fashioned garage with 2 doors that pull open like cupboard doors. A sliding door or 2 sliding doors would be much better.
I love the flat track…..I want a sliding door for my master bedroom…I mean, I NEED 😉
This would go perfectly in the living room to disguise a door that leads straight into the master bedroom – we moved into a home in March – short sale that owner treated like a foreclosure. Not fun, but we are working on turning it into our dream home. Love the giveaways and learning out new websites!
Be still my ♥! I would so put a barn door on my pantry in the kitchen… it’d be just perfect!!!
Oh WOW! Talk about drool! How I wish I could put up a sliding door! There is truly not one place in this house I could use this prize! I will continue to dream and drool while I wish everyone else, “Good Luck”
This set is so amazing looking, id use it between kitchen and living room
I would definitely put the sliding barn door with the flat track over the bathroom door to save on space but also to have an awesome piece of history in the reclaimed wood in my home. OH if only the wood could tell the tale of where its been!!
I have a couple places I would love to use a barn door. They are so unique and I grew up on a farm so it would stir up my childhood memories.
Ive been dreaming of a barn door!!! I would use it anywhere in my house.
WOW…..I love this door, it is too pretty to hide. I would put it between the living room and kitchen. thanks!
We are redoing our 2 yr old son’s room in tractor farm style. The barn wood would male an awesome accent wall. Can’t you Just see the wall all barn style….he will love it!! Thanks!!
I would hang doors in the entranceway to our family room.
I would love to upgrade the bifold doors on the laundry “closet” to a fabulous barn door.
We are planning on putting one going into our pantry.
love the fir/ pine butcher block table! awesome!
I already have the space in my dining room ready to go!
I would put a barn door in my kitchen between the laundry room. There’s another door that opens into the bathroom right there and they are always getting smashed together. A barn door would help open up the space!
I would use it as my panty/walk in closet door. We have an open concept place and it would be seen from my living room into my kitchen.
I would love to use this to close off my craft nook in the basement. Thanks Gail!
I’ve been looking for some barn door hardware. I want to put a sliding barn door on my bedroom closet! 🙂
SO cool! I would put it in my kitchen area, bed room or basement…It is hard to decide! Thanks for the chance!!
My favorite product from the Reclaimed Lumber Products website is the octagon shaped table in the Furniture & Cabinets catalog.
I would love to use the barn doors to close off my kitchen from my living room. LOVE them 🙂
Oh, my! I actually bought this hardware!
I had to have my barn rebuilt (water and termite damage) and needed a side door. Well, the fellow who did the work disappeared in the middle with 1) $1000 of my $$ for materials, and 2) my barn door hardware! The door he built is leaning against the barn, with its plywood warping from the frame. The doors he did hang are also warping. The barn itself is warping away from the frame. Let this be a lesson to you: Don’t use staples on exterior plywood. And trust your own judgement. I let him poo-poo me when I wanted him to screw thing in firmly.
Anyway, I loved this hardware and couldn’t afford to buy another set. Being a waitress, I at least TRY to spend my $$ wisely!
“Karma,” she muttered, wandering away. “Gotta have faith,” she mumbled.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Christine
My living room door.
I’d love to use this for our first floor bathroom. Currently it has a pocket door, and a sliding barn door would give that space some much needed character!
I am building out a new playroom for my little guy, and I have been stalking this website for ideas! Can’t wait to put up my new barn door! Thanks!
I love the tables on the website, with their multi-tonal tops.
I can think of so many places, but I think the first one would be in our bedroom!
I’d put a door in the awkwardly sized opening from our front hall into the living room.
Hi! I am building a new house and we have arranged for one of the guest rooms to open completely into the great room so as to extend the view and the open feeling of the house. When we have guests, we will want them to be able to close a door. So I’ve been planning to put a barn door across the space. The opening is 4ft 6in wide – hope this door hardware will handle that!
Our master bedroom closet would look so great with this door system…
I would put a barn door between my kitchen and laundry/mudroom.
My closet door would become a reclaimed barnwood door–no more smacking it on the recliner!
There is no door to our master bathroom, so I think that would be the perfect place for it
I’d use then for a decoration piece in my craft room.
-Brittany Ruth
Love their flooring! Thanks for the chance
I have two places I would love to use the sliding doors. One would be for the master bath and the other would be for the pantry door.
I have been wanting to put a barn door like this in our master bath. Right now the closet door sticks out into the room blocking half the tub. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would separate the main kitchen area from the dinette.
The Barn Door Hardware – RLP Flat Track is an interesting find – That’s probably my favorite product available in their online store.
This would be the perfect solution for my basement door – I can’t have a traditional door in my very small kitchen because it takes up too much space – this would let me hang my period appropriate door and still save space!
I would love to have barn doors on my bedroom closet. It’s a very small room and any other type of door takes up way too much space! Plus it would look great with my old iron frame bed!
I like their Accent Wall Paneling!
I would love to have a barn door for our family room!
I would love to have one of these doors for my master bath. I was just trying to convince my hubby of this the other day!
Blessings, Vicky
I would love to use this on our bedroom. We have a narrow hall and dormer in our bedroom and the door we have now is a nightmare! I love the look of the reclaimed wood. Looks so warm and cozy
Master bedroom bathroom door
I have been dying to do barn doors in our living room!! Thanks for a great giveaway!
These are so beautiful! I’d use this on my office door!!
I have actually been researching doors, hardware for a closet I want in my family room. Love your site and products. Just my style and I love recycling materials.
I have been looking for an alternative for our basement bathroom door for months. Currently the door opens into the bathroom and hits the toilet seat!!! I thought about pocket doors but doing this post construction seems like a headache. This barn door option on the other hand is a dream.
I would use it to separate our master bedroom & bathroom. I have reclaimed some old doors from a 100+ year old house and have been looking for hardware to mount them for sliding doors. This would be perfect.
we put in a barn door between our kitchen and living room. we just love it. I’d like to do another in the hallway going from the living room to the bath hallway
I think it’d look great on our bedroom closet!
The wood floors on that site are BEAUTIFUL too!
I love these! I have a very old house in New Orleans made from barge board. My bathroom is really tiny and the door takes up a lot of floor space. I would use the door in this room. Because it’s a barge board house I can’t do pocket doors. There’s no room in walls made entirely of wood. And the look of this would be perfect!
I love all the doors, but I would use the hardware in our downstairs to divide the craft room from the den. It would match the decor perfectly!
This would look great for my pantry door in the kitchen! Thanks for hosting this!
Getting ready to redo a kitchen door, really want a barn door style one!
Love their selection of doors!
To be honest, I think my favorite product at Reclaimed Wood Products is their flooring. I love their other products, too, but I think I like their flooring the best.
I love the plank doors – gorgeous!!
Love the wooden table on their website. Actually, I would be giving this hardware to my son as he has been looking at these doors for more than a year. He has a bathroom that he would like to put this door on. Thanks for the giveaway.
Wow! I was just looking at barn door hardware yesterday. I’ve got some reclaimed wood that I was thinking about using for a barn door. I am planning on finishing my basement and want to put a sliding barn door where we would go into the storage area. It would look really cool from the finished area, I think. I looked around Reclaimed Lumber Products and see that they also have wood for flooring and paneling – waaay cool! 🙂
I could so do a sliding barn door in my bedroom. Their hardware is awesome!
I’ve always thought I’d want one of these especially after I started seeing all the DIY doors around the blogs.
I LOVE YOUR WHITE ONE IN YOUR KITCHEN,GAIL!
If I were to put one of these in my home…I have one of 3 places I’d put it. If it were rustic like the ones on the site…I’d put it between my kitchen and livingroom…right near my wood burning stove!!!
A pretty white one,like yours…would go at my bedroom door. 😉
Good luck everybody– Patricia
I’m planning to renovate the upstairs bedroom and a sliding barn door would be perfect for the planned closet!
I have the perfect spot for a door like this! Our guest room/guest bath – there’s an opening there that would be PERFECT for a cool door like this! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I would love to put a sliding barn door between our kitchen and laundry room. That’s where I would use it if I won. Thanks for hosting some great giveaways!
On y hall closet for sure!
This is the best giveaway ever! I would love one of the sliding barn wood doors into my walkin closet!!!
Such a great giveaway! I have these on the barn, but so want one when I turn the garage into my furniture shop.
Thanks for the chance to win. Congrats on 4 years!
To my Master Bath. The current door is sticks out into the room and is awkward. Barn door would look great and solve the issue without having to rework the wall to put a pocket door in.
Would LOVE to win this give-away to make some really cool stuff…. 🙂 Thanks so much for hosting this. 🙂
I would love to put a barn door between my dining room and my craft room!
I left a FB comment on their page because I couldn’t find a place to blog comment. Maybe I should go get a big old cup…. gallon…. of coffee?
i would love to have one on my pantry! or maybe hall closet….
I love the Reclaimed Lumber webpage. I would put the door from my hall into my kitchen. It would look beautiful there. Thank you for the give away.
Oh my goodness, Gail…that would be my dream win! We are getting ready to remodel our bedroom and my husband and I decided we would convert the existing sliding closet door into a barn door, so I would definitely use in there! Thanks so much for all the amazing giveaways you’ve had this week!
it’s more like where couldn’t i use this… the laundry room has no door, the doorway to my family room has no door. my kitchen into my living room has no door. i could use SEVERAL of these!
