Barn door kits bundle a solid pine door panel with matching hardware — convenient if you want everything in one order, but worth understanding the tradeoffs first. Kits cost roughly three times as much as hardware alone due to door freight, and shipped wood may need time to acclimate before it's fully stable. For most projects, sourcing a door locally and pairing it with a barn door edge wrap kit or standalone hardware kit saves money and produces a better long-term result.
These are complete barn door kits — solid pine door panel and matching hardware included in one bundled purchase, configured and ready to install together. If you need hardware only without a door, that's our barn door hardware kits. If you need door panels only without hardware, that's our barn doors collection.
Before you order, we want to be direct about something: barn door kits cost roughly three times more than hardware-only kits, and most of that difference is freight. Barn doors are large, heavy panels that ship on long freight carriers — those costs are real. In most cases, we'd encourage you to source a door locally from a lumber yard, millwork shop, or home improvement store, and purchase hardware separately from us. You'll typically spend significantly less, and you'll have more door options than we can stock.
That said, there are real reasons to buy a kit. The convenience of one purchase, the confidence that door and hardware are matched, and a straightforward install without sourcing from multiple places — if those things matter on your project, these kits do that job well. All doors are solid pine, available unfinished or pre-finished, in standard sizing.
Kit configurations
We offer four configurations. The right one depends on your opening, how much wall clearance you have on either side, and how you want the doors to move.
| Kit type | What's included | How the door moves | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single door | One door panel + sliding hardware | Single panel slides to one side | Standard single doorways with wall clearance on at least one side |
| Double biparting | Two door panels + biparting hardware | Two panels open from the center | Wider openings; symmetrical look when open |
| Bypass | Two door panels + bypass hardware | Two panels pass each other on overlapping tracks | Wide openings where wall clearance on both sides is limited |
| Bifold | Bifold door panels + bifold hardware | Panels fold and stack to one side | Closets, pantries, and openings with limited side clearance |
Need bifold hardware without the door panels? That's a separate collection — see our bifold barn door hardware kits.
What's in every kit
Every kit includes the door panel(s) and matching hardware — track, rollers, hangers, and mounting hardware. Door panels are solid pine. Most kits come pre-stained and ready to hang — just install the panels. An unfinished option is available on most kits if you'd prefer to apply your own paint or stain. Hardware is our house value line, matched to the door size in the kit.
All doors come in standard sizing only. If your project requires a non-standard door size, we don't offer custom sizing — you'd need to source the door separately and purchase hardware from our hardware kits collection to match. If you're not sure whether a standard size works for your opening, email us before ordering.
A quick note on track length
Our kits are configured with the correct track length for the door size included. But it's worth knowing the rule: for a standard single sliding barn door, the track needs to be at least twice the door width to allow a full, unobstructed opening. A 36-inch door needs a 72-inch track minimum.
If you're unsure whether the kit size you're considering will fully clear your opening, email us with your rough opening dimensions before ordering. It's a quick check that prevents a frustrating return.
When a kit makes sense — and when it doesn't
We'd rather give you a straight answer on this than have you find out after the fact.
A kit is probably the right call if:
- You want one purchase and one delivery — door and hardware arrive together, matched
- Your opening fits a standard door size
- You want to remove any guesswork about whether the door and hardware will work together
- Convenience matters more than minimizing cost on this project
You're likely better off sourcing a door locally if:
- You need a non-standard door size — we don't offer custom sizing
- Keeping cost down is the priority — door freight is the main price driver, and local sourcing cuts that significantly
- You have access to local lumber yards, millwork shops, or home improvement stores with door styles that fit your project better
- You want a specific wood species, finish, or panel design we don't carry
If you source a door locally, purchase hardware from our hardware kits collection. Email us with your door dimensions and we'll confirm the right hardware and track length before anything ships.
