How to hang barn door?

13 years ago

I am in the process of ordering a Barn Door kit for my new construction. My trim around all doors is 4 3/8". My question is ...how do I measure for this door? Do I want to hang it over the top of the trim or just add an inch to the door height and let the trim show above the metal rail?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Most of the ones I've seen there hasn't been any molding on the doorway at all. Do a Houzz search on "barn door" and you'll see tons of examples.
