At The Barn Door Hardware Store, we know that different styles suit different folks. Some people choose a double barn door to add elegance to a room, while others prefer a more rustic appeal. For some, the visibility of overhead tracks and rollers clashes with the sleek, modern design elements of the rest of the room. 

That’s where a hidden roller barn door hardware kit comes in handy. The Barn Door Hardware store offers invisible barn door hardware that keeps rollers out of sight without sacrificing functionality. To learn more about whether no-show barn door hardware is right for you, we’ve written a guide that breaks down everything you need to know. Read on to learn more about the easy installation of barn door hardware and its many practical and visual benefits.

What is hidden roller barn door hardware?

Traditional barn doors feature exposed rollers and overhead tracks to slide the door back and forth. Many people adore the rustic touch this adds to a space, but others prefer a more seamless look. With a hidden roller barn door hardware kit, the roller system is hidden behind the door panel, allowing the door to slide without showing the mechanics underneath.

Benefits of concealed barn door hardware

There are several visual and practical benefits of concealed barn door hardware, including:

• Greater design flexibility. Minimalist barn door hardware allows you to incorporate a barn door wherever you like in your house without forcing you to alter the design of the space around it.
• Better use of space. The best choice is often hidden barn door hardware for small spaces, as traditional barn doors may take up too much room.
• Cleaner look. A sleek sliding barn door hardware will reduce the noise in a room and let the door itself be the focal point instead of the rollers.
• Less noise. Invisible barn door hardware is not just less visually disruptive, it’s also often quieter. Hidden and silent barn door rollers can give greater peace in the home, especially in noise-sensitive areas like bedrooms or offices.

Choosing the best hidden barn door hardware for modern homes

When installing a hidden roller barn door hardware kit, you’ll want to consider several different factors:

• What size and weight is your door? Some hidden roller barn door hardware kits do not support heavier or thicker door frames. Hidden barn door hardware at the Barn Door Hardware Store will support doors that are 1-inch thick or greater.
• What is the clearance for hidden barn door hardware? Even though concealed barn door hardware doesn’t have exposed overhead rollers, you will still need to make sure there’s enough overhead clearance for the door to fit. This is usually at least around four inches or so of clearance above the doorway, but be sure to check with the manufacturer to see the exact measurement.
• What do you want your aesthetic to be? Even though the rollers will be hidden from view, you will still see the exposed half of the track when the door is open. You’ll want to match the finish of that hardware to your design.
• What materials do you want for your door? Be sure to choose a hidden roller barn door hardware kit that uses durable materials like solid steel, as these will ensure a long-lasting door with minimal maintenance.
• How complex is the installation process? Some hidden roller doors are easier to install than others. Like all The Barn Door Hardware Store products, the Goldberg Brothers hidden roller kit comes with easy installation instructions that forego the need to hire expensive contractors.

How to install hidden roller barn door hardware

The installation process for hidden roller barn door hardware is relatively simple, especially with the Goldberg Brothers hidden roller kit. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Measure the space. Before you order your hidden roller barn door hardware kit, measure the space to make sure your door is the proper size. It needs to be wider than the doorway and have enough wall space beside it to fully open.
2. Mark your mounting points. The kit will come with instructions that tell you where the hangers and track need to be screwed in. Be sure to mark each point with a pencil before drilling to make sure the door is installed properly.
3. Follow the installation instructions. The Goldberg Brothers hidden roller kit installation guide includes step-by-step instructions that show how to install the hardware in an area with no casing/base/trim and on a track trim board that is equal to or thicker than casing, base, or other trim.
4. Hang the door. Once you’ve properly followed the instructions and installed the hardware, lift the door and hang it from the track.
