Hi, I plan on building barn doors for my garage. The current barn doors are old, over 100 years old. They have hinges that look like rustic large hinges… they are also rusty. I want to replace them but I don’t know what hinges to use. Home Depot has security ball bearing hinges 4.5 x 4.5 but they don’t look like large rustic barn door hinges. They are rectangular and look similar to modern interior door hinges. Can you recommend hinges to use?

Hi there! Thanks for your comment! If you are planning to make some outswing garage doors, hinges are very important to get right. We have some hand-forged strap hinges made from solid steel on our website. Our blacksmith Bill forges them by hand for a super authentic, traditional look: realcraft.com/collections/door-hinges/products/hammered-diamond-strap-hinge. Our custom design consultants could also give you some guidance, as they add hinges to custom carriage doors all the time. Just call us at 1-253-600-2734 and we can help you out!
