Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Purpose of a Loft Door?

Loft doors provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. They are typically used to allow airflow or access for hay bales. We offer hinged or sliding options to suit different styles and practical needs.

What Materials are Used for Sliding Loft Doors?

Our sliding loft doors are made with heavy-wall aluminum tubing and are fitted with high-quality galvanized or stainless-steel hardware for maximum durability.

What Materials are Used for Hinged Loft Doors?

Hinged loft doors are also built from heavy-wall aluminum tubing. We use welded-on hinges and secure latches to ensure ease of use and safety.

Can I Install a Barn Loft Door Myself?

Yes, installing a loft door is relatively simple in terms of complexity. However, due to the height of most loft doors, we recommend having at least two to three people assist in the process, along with proper equipment, like scaffolding or a sturdy ladder.

How Safe are Your Barn Loft Doors?

For areas prone to high winds, we recommend sliding loft doors, as they are easier to control during opening and closing. Hinged doors are best suited for locations where the primary function is loading hay, but they should be kept closed during high winds for safety.

Do You Offer Safety Gates for Loft Doors?

Yes, we offer simple steel brackets for horizontal 2×4 wood rails, or custom-manufactured hinged gates that come with weld-on hinges and childproof latches for extra security when the loft door is open.

What are the Benefits of Tempered Glass in Loft Doors?

Tempered glass offers enhanced safety and allows natural light into your barn. If broken, (this very rarely happens), tempered glass shatters into small, non-sharp pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

Hinged Versus Sliding Loft Doors

If you’re wondering which style is best, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Sliding doors are safer and easier to use, but low ceilings on the second floor of a barn might be a problem. Meanwhile, hinged doors need less side space, making them ideal for tight spots.

Whether you’re looking for functional barn loft doors for your facility or a decorative faux door to enhance your barn entrance, J&E Grill Manufacturing can provide the perfect fit for your needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
