If I have a bedroom door that latches correctly in the winter but goes out of jam in the summer are there any tips on what I would adjust to fix it? Got a baby coming in two weeks and the cats can't be allowed to push their way into the room soon.

Speaking of sliding barn doors, I'm not a big fan but having trouble convincing my husband of a viable 2nd option, given how the desk sits a swing door would obscure him quite a bit. Is there a better type of door option? Moving the desk somewhere else is technically possible, but there aren't a ton of options with current furniture+this room is about to become a baby space

We need a door door for sound proofing. Hubby working at the desk is ... Not quiet during his six am meetings. I would like better sound proofing too to block the TV in the den. Double pocket doors would require rewiring the light switch and power outlet though wouldn't it?

HappyHippo posted:Double doors that swing into the hallway? The hallway is the main entry to the house (the front door is behind the right wall) so if they were open they would block that door. I wonder if any barn doors are made of better sound insulation materials. Pocket door is probably the actually right choice , several other spaces in the house have them, but would be much much more involved to install.

There's another outlet we could connect the desk to on the adjacent wall. But good point about barn doors not actually sealing against the wall. Time to look into quotes for getting pocket doors I guess

I just got a folding doors look ok. So that might actually work out. And you're right it would be nice not to narrow the entry just to use a normal sized door. The idea of widening the entire set of walls, is not fun .
