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.

As a result of wind damage, we required some minor, but necessary repairs to be done to the exterior of our home. I contacted several roofing and siding companies, but ended up frustrated at the lack of interest in doing a small job. I then contacted Mr Handyman. They requested photos of the affected damage and gave me an estimate the next day. Finding the estimate reasonable we elected to proceed with the repair and it was arranged for the next day. Eric arrived as promised. I found Eric to be an experienced professional who had the problems addressed in short order. Eric then inspected the rest of the house to ensure there were no additional potential issues of a similar nature. We were 100% happy and satisfied with Eric’s repairs. If we have a need for handyman help any time is the future I will absolutely contact Mr Handyman again. Bill K.
