Your Barn Door Guys
Handmade sliding barn doors, and a way to show them in any room.
A barn door only sells when people can picture it in their own space, and photographing every door in every kind of room isn’t practical.

The problem
A barn door only sells when people can picture it in their own space, and photographing every door in every kind of room isn’t practical.
What I built
The doors themselves, designed and built by hand, like the Onex: an olive-black slatted panel with light-wood inlay bands on an exposed steel track. And a visual system of matching room settings (kitchen, living room, bedroom, loft) from the same camera position, so any door can be shown in any room with the same opening size and perspective.
How it works
Each new door is placed into the same set of rooms, so customers compare designs side by side in settings like their own.
What changed
The same care I put into building a door goes into how it’s presented, which is the discipline I bring to every digital product.
