Barn doors, with their rustic charm and space-saving functionality, have become a popular choice for modern interiors. However, traditional barn door stoppers can detract from the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic. Here's where FantomDoorstop steps in, offering a revolutionary magnetic solution specifically designed for barn doors.

The Challenge with Traditional Barn Door Stoppers

Conventional barn door stoppers typically involve surface-mounted hardware like floor stops or wall-mounted catches. While functional, these solutions can disrupt the clean lines of a barn door and introduce a visually busy element. Additionally, some floor stops can create a tripping hazard, especially in high-traffic areas.

Introducing the Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop

The Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop takes a unique approach, utilizing the power of magnets for a completely concealed stopping mechanism. Unlike traditional methods, the Fantom system integrates seamlessly with your existing barn door hardware, preserving its minimalist design.

Key Features of the Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop:

Concealed Design: The system utilizes a discreet magnetic strike plate mounted on the underside of the barn door track. A corresponding steel pin housed within the bottom of the door interacts with the strike plate, providing a secure and silent stop.
Soft-Close Option: The Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop offers an optional soft-close feature. This feature utilizes a damper mechanism within the steel pin, ensuring the door glides gently to a stop, preventing loud slamming and potential damage to the door or wall.
Hold-Open Function: Similar to the pivot door version, the barn door system incorporates a "hold-open" function. This allows the door to be held in a specific open position, which can be particularly useful in high-traffic areas or when carrying items through the doorway.
Multiple Finishes: The magnetic strike plate comes in various finishes, including black, white, satin nickel, and chrome. This allows you to match the existing hardware of your barn door track for a cohesive look.
Easy Installation: While professional installation is recommended for optimal results, the Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop boasts a relatively straightforward installation process.

Installing the Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop

The installation process typically involves:

Door Track Preparation: Mounting the magnetic strike plate onto the underside of the barn door track. This may involve drilling precise holes for proper alignment.
Door Modification: Creating a small cavity within the bottom of the barn door to house the steel pin. Accurate placement is crucial for optimal functionality.
Hardware Installation: Securing the steel pin within the created cavity in the door.
Alignment and Testing: Meticulously aligning the magnetic strike plate and steel pin to ensure a smooth stopping mechanism and proper hold-open function.

Additional Considerations

Before installing the Fantom Magnetic Barn Doorstop, consider these factors:

Door Material: The system is suitable for most common barn door materials, including wood and composite materials. Ensure the door is thick enough to accommodate the steel pin cavity without compromising its structural integrity.
Door Weight: The system has weight limitations. Choose the appropriate hardware variant based on the weight of your specific barn door.
Existing Hardware: While the Fantom system can work with most barn door tracks, ensure compatibility before purchasing.
