Can you use a floor mirror as a barn door?

that doesn't sound like a great idea...more info...?

If you do not have children then it might be okay, but you would have to increase the width and thickness of the top frame in order to be able to put the brackets on. Screwing or hammering near any glass will probably break it. If you put up a sheet of half inch plywood and then glue the mirror to that you may get away with it. Not really a safe idea overall.

well if it was completely framed in wood, I don't see why it wouldn't work. The mirror would just be sliding back and forth, it would not have any more stress on it than the wood would have. The hardware for the operation would have to be distant enough from the mirror so no damage is done to the mirror when the hardware is attached, or maybe that could be done first and then the mirror put on.

The mirror would have to have a large enough and heavy enough frame to support the barn door hardware..... https://www.google.com/search?q=picture+of+barn+door+mirror&client=opera&hs=OwF&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWw8mrntPZAhWIs1QKHVxcA18QsAQI6wE&biw=1326&bih=631

This may be some great inspiration for you!

OHHHH...I thought you meant a REAL barn door and couldn't figure out how or why that would work in the elements !!

The barn door in the house would have to be sturdy enough to support a large mirror and firmly secured into place.

The mirror would need to be safety glass and that would add some serious weight. Why not just mount a smaller mirror on the backside of the door?

Is this is an adults room or what? I wouldn't do this anywhere around kids or pets. Plus think of all the sticky handprints you will need to clean off everyday!

I would rather lean a large mirror in the corner of a bedroom instead.
