Sliding Barn Door Operation

Single Sliding Barn Door Operation demonstration diagram.

Single Sliding Barn Door Operation (standard)

In a single sliding application, one door leaf slides to the side of the opening. Therefore, two-door leaves get splined (joined) together to slide as a single unit.

Double Barn Doors Operation diagram

Bi-parting Sliding Barn Doors (double barn doors)

A pair of doors sliding open from the center is considered a Bi-Parting door. Therefore, doors slide in the same plane (on the same track) and contact each other in the middle while closed.

Bypassing Sliding Barn Doors (cascading doors) operation diagram

Bypassing Sliding Barn Doors (cascading doors)

Doors that slide in different planes (separate tracks) “bypass” each other. The track may be mounted on the face of the building or within the confines of the jamb.
