Daniel Kanu went close for the visitors as he flicked a header over from Charlie Lakin's delivery before Barrow goalkeeper Wyll Stanway produced a good save to keep out Kanu.
Stanway did well to keep out another Kanu chance but Adomah pounced on the loose ball to fire the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute.
And the lead was doubled as Hancock got on the end of Lakin's low corner and smashed the ball through Stanway's legs in first-half stoppage time.
Myles Roberts produced a good save to keep out Barrow striker Danny Rose from close range early in the second half.
Hancock wrapped up the points in the 68th minute as his low free-kick beat everyone before substitute Malcolm pulled one back in the 88th minute.
