Barn door accessories cover the components that complete an installation — floor guides, handles, locks, soft close, and more. The most commonly overlooked item after a kit ships is the wall-mounted floor guide: if you have finished hardwood, tile, or LVP, you'll need one instead of the floor-mounted guide included with most kits. Browse by category below or see our floor guides collection if that's what brought you here.
Most customers arrive here in one of two states: their kit is already on the way and they're figuring out what they missed, or they're still in the planning stage and want to get the full order right the first time. Both are fine — but the second is easier.
The accessories most customers wish they'd ordered with their kit aren't the decorative ones. They're functional pieces that affect how the door operates every single day. This page covers all of them — and links to our sub-collections if you want to go deeper on a specific category.
The accessory most customers forget: the wall-mounted floor guide
Most hardware kits include a floor-mounted floor guide by default. If your flooring is finished hardwood, tile, LVP, or anything you'd rather not drill into, you need a wall-mounted floor guide instead — and it's not included in the kit. This is the single most common accessory gap we see after an order ships.
A floor guide keeps the bottom of your door from swinging away from the wall when it's open or closed. Without one, the door drifts and eventually bangs — especially in a hallway or any space with air movement. The wall-mounted version anchors to the baseboard or any nearby vertical surface and does the same job without touching the floor.
If you're installing over finished flooring, add a wall-mounted floor guide before you check out. It's a small addition that prevents a frustrating fix after the door is already hung. See our full floor guide collection for all available styles.
Handles, flush pulls, and edge pulls
Barn door hardware kits don't include handles — with one exception: Goldberg Brothers bifold kits ship with handles included. Every other kit type — standard sliding, heavy duty, bypass, and house value line bifold — ships without them. That means both faces of the door need to be addressed separately.
The front face (the side you grab most often) typically gets a pull handle or an edge pull. The back face needs hardware too — usually a flush pull or an edge pull — so you can move the door from both sides.
Flush pulls sit recessed into the door face and require a routed recess to install. They cannot be surface-mounted. A router template is available separately and makes the routing significantly cleaner and more precise — worth adding if you're doing this yourself.
Pull sets — a handle and flush pull bundled together — are the most common solution. They cover both faces in a single purchase with matching hardware. Goldberg Brothers pull sets are available in all 17 finishes. House value line pull sets are available in matte black and brushed nickel. See our full barn door handle collection and flush pull collection for all options.
Soft close — when it's worth it and when it's not
Soft close is the most common upgrade question we get, and the honest answer is: it depends on the door and the location. For a bedroom door — especially in a home with kids or on a shared wall — soft close is worth adding. The door decelerates before it reaches the end of the track instead of slamming into the stop, which reduces noise and wear over time. For a pantry, laundry room, or any low-traffic door that mostly gets left open, the benefit is noticeably less.
One constraint worth knowing upfront: soft close is not available for bifold configurations, regardless of brand.
Which soft close is right for your kit?
| Kit type | How to get soft close |
|---|---|
| House value line (standard sliding, bypass) | Available to purchase directly in this collection — compatible as a standalone add-on or retrofitted after install |
| Goldberg Brothers (standard sliding, heavy duty, bypass) | Add at time of kit ordering, or email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com to retrofit — the standalone soft close in this collection is house value line only |
| Any bifold configuration | Not available — soft close is not compatible with bifold hardware |
Locks and latches
If your barn door closes off a bedroom or bathroom, a privacy latch is worth adding. Our locks and latches are compatible across hardware types — there's no kit-specific compatibility concern to navigate. See the full locks and latches collection for available options.
Decorative accessories — accent trims and edge wraps
Accent trims add a decorative overlay to the hardware. Unlike most hardware decisions, they're not permanent — accent trims can be removed and swapped out at any time without affecting the underlying hardware or requiring any reinstallation. If you want to update the look of your hardware down the road without replacing the whole kit, this is how.
Edge wraps cover the exposed edge of the door panel for a more finished look, particularly on doors where the edge grain is visible from adjacent rooms.
See the full decorative accessories collection for available styles and finishes.
Track joiners, extra rollers, and track stoppers
Junction plates (track joiners)
Junction plates are included in every kit where one is needed. You only need to purchase one separately if you're extending a track that's already installed — adding length to an existing run. If you're ordering a new kit, you don't need to add one.
Extra rollers
Extra rollers are available as replacements or spares. Rollers are the most wear-prone component in the system over years of daily use — having a spare means you're not waiting on a shipment when one eventually needs replacing. See the full extra rollers collection for all available styles.
Track stoppers
Track stoppers limit how far the door travels along the track. Useful for protecting walls, centering a door in a wide opening, or restricting the door's range of travel when a full open isn't needed or wanted.
