Barn doors are a unique option for bathrooms – they work great in small spaces and add a nice touch of style for any home. Many homeowners wonder about the drawbacks of installing a barn door in the bathroom such as locks, privacy and more.
Allow Mr. Handyman to help you decide if a sliding barn door is the best option for your bathroom.
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.

Truly Above and Beyond – Grateful for This Team! Being new to the city, I wasn’t sure where to turn for reliable help—but from my first phone call with Judith, I felt I was in good hands with Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton. Twain and the team not only showed up on time, but even waited patiently for me to arrive with the items. What really stood out was the extra care—they helped me get everything sorted, and Twain even offered to drop me off to return the rental truck. That simple gesture meant so much. Professional, kind, and genuinely helpful—this team made a stressful day so much easier. They provided top-tier service at an exceptionally affordable price. Highly recommend! Thanks team Mr. Handyman of SW Edmonton.

Sean replaced our bathroom faucet today. He was creative in dealing with a tricky part. The price was reasonable and I was given good advice to replace rather than try to repair a drippy tap.
If you are looking for a great company this is the one! Shelby said it would be a week before we could get an estimate done, but then called us back to say that someone could come that day to do an estimate. Peter came to do the estimate and was very prompt at getting it to us. We then called to book the work , Pepe came 2 days later and explained what he was going to do, offered some suggestions and finished the work professionally and promptly that day. Everything was cleaned up and ready for use. All of the staff has been extremely friendly and helpful, and we will not hesitate to call again.
