Our metal magnetic barn door with chalkboard is the perfect mix of function and style. It's great for writing down a grocery list, creating a calendar, or unleashing your inner artist. Since the panel is magnetic (not just chalkboard paint), it's also ideal for showing off photos, posting notes, and even toy magnets for kids. The metal chalkboard door is a beautiful canvas for adults and children alike.
Our Magnetic Sliding Chalkboard Sliding Door is a must-have barn door for creative types. It's also perfect for kids' playrooms or bedrooms, as it gives them a place to draw that won't ruin the paint. We also love it as a pantry door--you can write your grocery list and weekly menu on the door for easy reference. The chalkboard is surrounded by a simple solid wood frame, available in twenty wood species. You can opt for a luxurious exotic wood like Wenge or Padauk, or keep things classic with White Oak or Walnut.
Since this door design is so simple, it works in virtually any decor style. Industrial, transitional, farmhouse, Scandinavian, or even Mid-Century Modern styles are great matches for this door. Plus, you can make it fully your own by pairing it with one of our sliding hardware kits. Our Classic Flat Track in Black is a harmonious choice, since it will match the black of the chalkboard. But we also love this door design with one of our stainless steel hardware kits.
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.
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.
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!
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.
