Barn doors - interior view
I attached the plastic rails and then added strips of wood around the rest of the door opening to help with the slight gap between the door frame and the doors. This won't block all of the gap, but it will help. This might not have been necessary had I planned better, but let's just say this is a replacement set of doors tacked onto the front after a wayward tractor mishap.
I added brackets to either end. These are black craft paper not zinc since they are mainly for show not function. Plus, it was easier to make them from paper and get a good fit.
I slipped in one door and then the other. It took a few tries to fit the doors well. I bent the pins until they hung properly in the track. They can't be moved using only the handles; I have to grip them by the sides to slide, but that's just fine with me.
Perhaps there should be a handle inside, but...I kinda love it as is. One of my art professors once said it takes two people to make a work of art; one to do the work and one to hit that person over the head when it's done. I going to hit myself on the head concerning the doors. We'll just say there's enough of a gap to get a hand in there to pry them open.
