Barn Doors in Bathrooms

The first question that comes to mind is, “Can you lock a bathroom barn door?” Yes, you can lock a barn door for bathrooms, but it won’t be as secure as a traditional door. A simple hook and loop style “lock” can be used to prevent the door from being accidently opened.

Barn doors won’t give you the same degree of privacy due to the required gap it needs to operate. This is why we recommend using sliding barn doors for bathroom powder rooms. However, some homeowners don’t mind this trade-off and will use a barn for full bathrooms.

Shower Barn Door

Barn doors are great for showers, too! However, a shower barn door isn’t typically something you can quickly add to a preexisting shower. In most cases, this style door needs to be taken into consideration well before the shower is installed. Sometimes a shower barn door will require some custom cut glass and modifications to make it work. In addition, since a barn door needs space to slide open, it will require a larger bathroom than other shower door designs.

Barndoors for Vanities

Barn door bathroom vanities take the barn door trend to new heights. These stylish storage options allow homeowners to have the look of a barn door on the bathroom vanity, without the hassle of cumbersome locks or lack of privacy. Since they don’t need space to swing open or require interior hardware like drawers, they’re great for smaller bathrooms and provide plenty of storage.

    Great initial customer service with Amanda. It only got better from there. Ben came out and installed bathtub grab bars. Impressive knowledge of ADA requirements and made sure it was done exactly how I wanted. Chatted Ben's head off which should benefit them and you if this review is read, along with their other reviews These are more than handimen, they have extensive experience in different skill sets. I saw pictures of a completed front stone fireplace, built in shelves, and various other projects that I would have never thought they could do based on their name. Pleasantly surprised, I already have another service schedule to install some rev a shelf cabinet inserts for spices and cutlery.

    Jesse did an awesome job replacing our shutters. He was very personable, and worked efficiently. Prior to this, Mr Handyman scheduled the service timely and provided an approximate estimate over the phone. Contractors from other sponsored companies did not even bother to show for an estimate. Thanks : )

    First time user of Mr. Handyman. I had a new mailbox installed and the old one removed. Was provided updates on days leading up to the appointment. Kurt arrived on time, reviewed my new mailbox installation and provided the quote for the project. His work was excellent and he completed a change for a last minute request that we didn’t think could be completed. Very satisfied customer!

    I received a very prompt response for quote and same day repair on the subfloor underneath my door threshold. I was in the middle of new front door installation and the door contractor had to pause the install due to rotten wood in the subfloor. Mr. Handyman was able to do the subfloor repair same day which allowed the door contractor to complete the installation the following day. Mr. Handyman was friendly, professional and did quality work at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.
