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.

I had a handrail installed in our garage. Zach was prompt, courteous and very personable plus did an outstanding job. I would definitely use Mr. Handyman in the future.
The price was a little high but Bill did a great job. I’m very happy for the job done and will call them if anything else needs done. Thank You Bill
Very easy to work with and fair prices. Truthfully Maurice was the real reason for the five stars. He’s a friendly, experienced and excellent craftsman. We want him on any future projects and we’ll use Mr. Handyman again.
Joe showed up on time and when he said he would. He was able to get the ceiling repair completed in a day vs. other estimates which quoted up to three days and for more money. Their pricing was resonable and fair. The communication before and follow up afterwards was also great. Highly recommended.
Mr. Handyman sent Rick Doty to help us with our many issues. Rick was wonderful and super helpful. He got all of our 8 needs taken care of with great care. He cleaned up after himself. Would use again. *2 weeks later and we requested Rick Doty to return to our house for more help. He did some electrical work and ceiling repair and did a great job! So thankful for his workmanship.
