We are excited to introduce the Santa Monica Barn Door, a new addition to our BarnCraft Modern Barn Door Collection. This beautiful door makes a stylish statement in any home. The Santa Monica Barn Door features a premium sliding barn door in Birchwood. Birchwood, a fine textured wood, makes a great surface for painting or staining. These doors are fully assembled and easy to install.

The Santa Monica door comes in a variety of finishes. Choose from Traditional, Antique, Distressed or unfinished to tailor-make your door’s finish to match your taste and decor. Consider combining your Santa Monica door with various hardware options including pull handles, rollers, and a privacy lock to create various interior doors for your home. Create a modern look by installing two of these doors to make a double door for a bolder and more interesting statement in your home.

You can select from many paint and stain options as well. If you choose to DIY the finish yourself, see below for step-by-step instructions.

Finishing Guidelines


Going the DIY route to finishing your BarnCraft Santa Monica Barn Door? We have everything you need to guide you along the way. First, we suggest you choose a quality product such as Behr, Sherwin Williams, Minwax or Cabot.

At the BarnDoorz factory, we use water-based products, but you can use water, oil, or solvent-based products based on your preference. When painting your door, we suggest using a primer coat and a compatible finish coat. For best results, sand all surfaces between coats of primer and finish.

Be sure to confirm that the top, bottom and side edges of the door are finished correctly. Before installing your new barn door, allow 24-48 hours for the door to adapt to your area’s general humidity and temperature. Inspect your door thoroughly before installing. If you notice a problem, notify BarnDoorz for further instructions. Prior to finishing, follow the Storage & Handling guidelines below.

Storage and Handling

Before installing your new barn door, allow 24-48 hours for the door to adapt to your area’s general humidity and temperature.

●Always store doors flat in a clean, dry, well-ventilated room. Protect them from dirt, water and if stored for long periods of time, seal with a high-quality sealer or primer.

●Do not expose doors to abnormal heat, direct sunlight, direct moisture, extreme dryness or humidity.

●Deliver doors to your building site after plaster and cement are completely dry and avoid exposure to air-conditioned or heated environments prior to finishing.

●If stored on the job site and to avoid moisture absorption, be sure to seal all ends and edges with a wood sealer.

●To prevent oils and dirt from penetrating the wood grains, always handle doors with clean or gloved hands.

●Always lift and carry (do not drag) doors to prevent damage to the surface.

Our BarnCraft Modern Santa Monica Barn Door makes a modern statement in any space. With a barn door, your room can stand out with color and style. You can also save energy, create a new room or nook, and enjoy greater value in your home.
