As the name suggests, the Mid-Century Modern Center Bar barn door design has a center bar in the center of the door creating two separate panels. It's inspired by the Modern design movement of the mid century: fidelity to true materials, clean lines, and minimal ornamentation. If you've been searching for an authentic MCM door design, this is the one for you. This interior barn door comes in two different panel styles: tongue & groove or flat panel.
For the tongue & groove panel construction, multiple horizontal wood planks are attached together by hand on each side of the center bar, which creates a traditional look and texture. In the flat panel construction, two solid wood panels flank either side of the center bar, which gives the door a more contemporary look.
This door is versatile and works with many decoration styles, including:
The Mid-Century Modern Center Bar Sliding Barn Door is suitable for both residential and commercial projects.

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!

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.

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.
