Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “carriage door”?
Carriage doors are hinged doors that split vertically down the center. Historically, they were used for storing horse-drawn carriages. Today, they add a classic, rustic charm to barns and other structures.
What are the advantages of choosing carriage doors over sliding doors?
Carriage doors have a timeless aesthetic and work well in spaces where there isn’t enough room for sliding door tracks. They also offer the benefit of a locking latch that can be accessed from both the inside and outside.
What are the disadvantages of carriage doors compared to sliding doors?
Carriage doors may require more maintenance, such as greasing the hinges regularly, and they are more prone to being affected by wind. Sliding doors, by contrast, are easier to operate, require less maintenance, and don’t take up space when opened.
How do I determine the right size carriage door for my opening?
We recommend ordering carriage doors that are 1/2 inch smaller in both width and height than your rough opening to ensure a proper fit.
Can I install carriage doors myself?
Yes, if you have basic carpentry skills and a few extra hands to help, you can install carriage doors without professional assistance. The size and location of the doors will determine the difficulty of the installation, but most projects can be handled with standard tools.
