Safety First: A Reminder About Proper Barn Door Installation

Posted on April 13 2025, By: Hardware NZ

At Barn Doors Hardware NZ, safety is built into everything we do. Our standard hardware includes three key safety features to keep your door secure:


✅ Anti-Jump Blocks

These small but critical pieces prevent the door from lifting off the track by filling the space between the top of the door and the rail. A must-have for safe operation.

✅ Bottom Guides

Bottom guides keep your barn door from swinging away from the wall or coming loose from its track. They also prevent damage to your door, wall, and baseboards during regular use.

✅ Soft-Close Technology

Most of our hardware includes soft-close systems, helping doors glide to a gentle stop. This reduces noise, prevents slamming, and protects fingers from accidental pinches.


We also include detailed, easy-to-follow instructions with every product—plus online resources and expert support by phone or email. Even if you’re new to DIY projects, we’re here to help you get it right the first time.

🛠️ Three Golden Rules for Barn Door Safety

  1. Choose hardware from a supplier who prioritizes safety—including clear written and pictorial instructions.

  2. Read the instructions—seriously! We’ve put a lot of care into making them helpful, step-by-step, and beginner-friendly.

  3. When in doubt, pause and ask—we’re just a phone call or email away. Your safety and satisfaction matter to us.


Your sliding barn door should be as secure as it is stylish. With  Barn Doors Hardware NZ, you don’t have to compromise. Let’s build something beautiful—and safe—together. 💪
