H&K Custom Barn Doors

Very nice, where do you get the hardware from.  Specifically the wheels on the track.  I haven't been able to find a five spoke design like them before.
 
Very nice work.  I have a couple of questions for you if I may ask. How much larger do you build the sliding doors compared to the opening size?  Is there a standard that you follow for sizing the doors width and height in comparison to the opening?

Thank you
 
Thank you for the kind words.  Here is a "cheat sheet" that I use...

thank you for the info.  Hopefully this yr some time I'll be doing a remodeling of a few rooms and I believe I'll be building a few sets of doors.  Have you used Rustica Hardware for any of your hardware?  They seem to have a wide range of choices.  I've not looked anywhere else, I know their products from their never ending emails.  They do seem to be quality hardware

Thanks again

Satin glass sliding door completed.  Will install tomorrow.  Used 1.5" thick Poplar for the timber and the door will sit lower at the customer's residence. Just put it on my track as a mock fitting.

Nice work!  Really like the look of barn doors!

I see the clips on the outside of the doors at the floor.  I assume you have some kind of spacer against the wall to prevent them from brushing the wall or door frame?  Are those metal with a plastic protector?  Just thinking about protecting the finish from opening and closing.

I'm also curious about these kinds of doors with kids who might open or close them too quickly and whether you've ever had them come off the track.

Thanks for sharing!

 
[member=167]neilc[/member] The hardware I've used (Custom Service Hardware in WI) include stops that are installed after the door is installed to limit the travel range of the door  Their website has some videos detailing the recommended installation steps.

 
There are "stops" on the track that you set at desired locations to stop the travel of the door so no worries with them sliding off.  The bottom of the door has "stay rollers" to prevent door from swinging out and jumping off track.
