Barn Door Installation
Sliding barn doors look simple but need real backing behind the plaster and a dead-level track. We install the structure, the track and the door so it runs quietly for years.
Most barn door problems come from the fixing, not the door. We install real backing behind the plaster, level the track properly and adjust the running gear so the door stays quiet and true.
A clear process from first call to handover
- 01
Assess the wall
We check what is behind the plaster and confirm the backing needed for the door weight.
- 02
Install
Backing, track and door installed level, with guides and stops fitted.
- 03
Adjust
Door run tested end to end and adjusted so it glides without rattling.

Barn Doors - your questions
+Can a barn door be fitted to a plasterboard wall?
Yes, but only with proper structural backing fixed to the studs behind the sheet. Fixing a track to plasterboard alone will fail.
