HOW TO MEASURE A BARNCRAFT ® DOOR & INSTALLATION VIDEOS
Measuring for your BarnCraft ® Door with Traditional Hardware
Determine the minimum door width : Measure the distance of the inside frame opening and add 4 ” ( A + 4 ” = minimum door width ). This will allow the door to cover the frame opening when the door is fully closed .

Determine the minimum door height : Measure between the finished floor and the top frame , then subtract 1 / 2 ” for floor clearance from the bottom of the door ( B - 1 / 2 ” = minimum door height ). Door may cover the existing door top casing trim if desired , or you may want your door taller than the existing opening . Add on to your door height for this .

Check for minimum door clearance : A minimum clearance of 6-1 / 2 ” ( C ) is required , measuring from the top edge of the door to the ceiling , to accommodate the track and sliding hardware . The top of the door should be level with or above the frame opening ( B ).
A minimum clearance of available wall space equal to the actual door width plus 2 ” ( D ) is required for the door to completely roll free of the door opening .

Measuring for a Door with Houdini Hardware TM
The Bottom Track ( which includes the wheels ) may be mounted ON the bottom of the door or IN the bottom of the door ( refer to the drawings at the bottom of page 6 ). The Wall Mount may be mounted overlapping the wall opening making the door handle accessible on the back side of the door . Or the Wall Mount may be located aligned with or evenly spaced back from the edge of the door opening to allow the door to open to the full width or further than the wall opening . Refer to the online installation instructions for the Houdini Hardware for specific guidelines . The door size also depends upon if your wall opening is surrounded by decorative casing or molding . ( Casing cannot be more than 5 / 8 ” deep ).
Determine the minimum door width : Two options — either the door opens to with full width of the wall opening , or the door can partially cover a portion of the wall opening . ( For instance , for a bathroom door , you may want 4 to 6 inches of door remaining accessible after opening to easily access the door pull from the bathroom side of the door ). To calculate door width to open exposing the full wall opening , then measure the distance of the wall opening and add 7.5 ” ( A + 7.5 ” = minimum door width . The door can be wider than this ). If you want the door to be partially exposed over the wall opening on one side , then deduct the amount to be exposed from 7.5 , and add the remainder to the opening width . If you want 7.5 ” of door to remain exposed , then the door may be the same as the wall opening width .
Determine the minimum door height : For a Bottom Track mounted ON ( and not IN ) the bottom edge of the door , measure between the finished floor and the top frame ( B in the drawing above ), then add 1 ” ( B + 1 ” = minimum door height ). The door plus the track will be B + 3 ” after track installation . IF your door opening has decorative casing , then you will measure from the floor to the top of the casing and add 1 ” for the minimum door height .
For a completely hidden and concealed hardware appearance , then mount the Bottom Track INSIDE ( and not ON ) the bottom edge of the door . This requires routing an edge-to-edge slot in the bottom of the 1-3 / 4 ” thick door . To determine the door height for this installation , measure between the finished floor and the top frame ( B ), then add 3 ” ( B + 3 ” = minimum door height ). The door plus the track will be B + 3 ” after track installation . IF your door opening has decorative casing , then measure from the floor to the top of the casing , and add 3 ” for the minimum door height .
