The Shaker Low T Barn Door is one of our most traditional barn door designs. Similar to our High T Barn Door, it features solid wood construction and mortise and tenon joinery. Styled after the Shaker tradition, this door is all about keeping things stunningly simple. A horizontal rail and vertical stile create a T-shape accent on the door face, surrounded by wood panels. You can opt for flat panels, vertical tongue-in-groove panels, or horizontal tongue-in-groove panels. The flat panels are best for a more minimalist look, while tongue-in-groove panels really allow the craftsmanship of this door to shine. As a super classic door, the Shaker Low T looks best in the following decor styles:
Traditional
Craftsman/Arts and Crafts Movement
Classic
Minimalist
A sliding barn door has a couple of unique advantages over a swinging door. First, it saves floor space, since it slides along the wall, which is ideal for narrow spaces in your home where a swinging door would get in the way. Second, because it’s always visible whether open or closed, it functions as an instant focal point, excellent for rooms without an architectural anchor. Here are some common applications for barn doors:
Kitchens and Pantries
Hallway and Utility Closets
Living Rooms
Bathrooms
Pair with one of our sliding hardware kits for a cohesive, premium final look. Keep things simple with our bestselling Classic Flat Track, or opt for sleek Swiss Rod in solid brass for a vintage touch.
Skilled artisans make all our doors by hand onsite in Gig Harbor, a small seaport town on the Puget Sound in Washington State.
For frequently asked questions about choosing a door and hardware see our FAQ page. If you're not sure what species is right for your space, or want to see the wood in person, you can order samples here.
Please note that doors will ship separately from sliding hardware when purchased together. Doors are pictured with hardware for context. Sliding hardware is sold separately, and not included with the purchase of a door. Doors are not pre-drilled for hardware. If you order a door and a hardware kit, we are unable to ship hardware installed on doors due to the risk of damage in transit.
We designed these doors with interior applications in mind. We don't recommend exterior use, and can't guarantee against warping or damage if you install your door outside. To have this door specially crafted for exterior use, call us at 1-253-853-3815 and we’ll be happy to help!
If you wish to customize the door even further, we can make your dream door a reality! Please understand that customization will add to the lead time. If you need more than 10 doors, or if your project requires special consideration, please call 1-253-853-3815.
Financing
We’re proud to offer Shop Pay Installments! Buy today and pay in 4 or more payments starting at 0% APR. If you finance your purchase with Affirm (Shop Pay Installments), your first payment is due approximately two weeks after your purchase is finalized. Please note that due to extended delivery times, your loan payment(s) may be due before you receive your purchase.
When determining the size of your barn door, we recommend that the door overlaps the doorway to minimize gaps and provide some sound-muffling for privacy. An inch of overlap on each side is a good rule of thumb for barn doors. For example, a 36” x 80” doorway would need a 38” x 81” sliding barn door. If you would like more sound sealing, then a 2-inch overlap on either side is best. To make sure it looks as intentional as possible, your barn door should also completely cover any molding on the door opening when closed. So if you have molding, you’ll need to factor that into your measurements as well.
RealCraft offers twenty different wood species from budget-friendly to exotic and rare. One of the reasons we love real wood so much is that it carries the character of its natural habitat. Wood species respond differently to humidity and temperature conditions. If you aren't sure which wood species to pick, call us at 1-253-853-3815.
We recommend adding a clear finish to your door to protect it and ensure that it is eligible for coverage under our warranty. A clear finish not only protects your door, it also enhances the door’s beauty while preserving its natural, unique texture. Clear finish brings out the color and detail of the wood grain.
We offer the following finish options:
White Primer: Added to Paint Grade Hardwood. For this option, we use only high-quality hardwoods like European Beech or Red Grandis. These species provide a smooth surface for paint.
Clear Satin EuroFinish by Osmo: A premium hand-rubbed hardwax oil that conditions, seals, and finishes the wood.
Oil Stain EuroFinish by Osmo: A premium hand-rubbed hardwax oil that stains, seals, and finishes the wood.
Check out our Wood Species Visualizer below to compare the raw wood with finished wood and explore our wood species options. Slide the toggle to the left for unfinished wood, and slide the toggle to the right for wood finished with Clear Satin EuroFinish.
