Ceiling mount barn door hardware routes the track to the ceiling joists rather than the wall — the right solution when there's no wall surface above the opening to mount into. The most common situation is a doorway that runs floor to ceiling, leaving no wall above for a standard track mount. Masonry walls, open-concept spaces without a solid header, and certain commercial installations are other typical cases.

This is not a general alternative to wall-mounted hardware. If you have a solid header or wall surface above the opening, standard wall-mounted hardware is the right choice — it's a simpler install and gives you more flexibility on track length. Ceiling mount is specifically for situations where wall mounting isn't possible.

This is a house value line kit — quick ship, in stock, ships in 2–3 business days. Available in black powder coat and brushed nickel. Sold as a 1-door or 2-door (biparting) kit. Track lengths available from 4 ft to 20 ft. A pull handle is not included — add one before ordering to avoid a second shipment.

Door weight: 220 lbs total system. For a single door, the door must stay under 220 lbs. For biparting, both doors combined must stay under 220 lbs.

Door thickness: 1-3/8 in to 1-3/4 in.

Wall clearance beside opening: Must equal at least the full door width on the slide side. The door needs somewhere to go when open. Limited wall clearance? See our bypass or bifold hardware.

Ceiling clearance — must be exactly 6 in: The top of your door must sit exactly 6 in below the ceiling where the track mounts. Not approximately — exactly. The ceiling mount bracket is designed for this fixed distance. If the clearance at your opening is anything other than 6 in, this hardware will not work correctly. Measure carefully before ordering. If your clearance is less than 6 in, email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com before purchasing.

Ceiling backing required: The track mounts to the ceiling and requires a solid backing above — ceiling joists or a blocking board installed between joists. If the joists don't run in the direction you need, or aren't located where the track will sit, install a minimum 1×6 hardwood board (3/4 in thick × 5-1/2 in wide) between joists that extends past the length of the track to a joist on each side.

Door width: Your door must be wider than the rough opening. For standard rooms: door width = opening + 4 in (2 in overlap each side). For bedrooms and bathrooms: door width = opening + 6 in (3 in each side). Minimum overlap is 1/2 in per side. See the track length section below.

Door height: Opening height + 1 in. Leaves approximately 1/2 to 1 in of floor clearance. Check along the full travel path — especially with carpet or uneven floors.

Ceiling mount hardware is house value line only — Goldberg Brothers does not offer a ceiling mount configuration. If your project requires heavier doors or thicker panels than this kit supports, email us at info@thebarndoorhardwarestore.com and we'll advise on whether any alternative configuration works for your opening.

Hardware quantities vary by track length — check the included instruction sheet before installation.

Hardware for 1 Door:

Flat track (1) — in your selected length
Flush hanger/roller set (2 rollers) — attaches to door face with hex bolt set
Hex bolt set (4)
Anti-jump system (2)
Floor guide (1) — floor-mounted
Door stoppers (2)
Hex wrench (1)
Rubber hole covers (4) — for track ends
Ceiling mount bracket set: bracket (1), lag bolts (2), track connector (1) — mounts track to ceiling
Junction plate — included if your track length requires it; check hardware checklist

Hardware for 2 Doors (biparting): Same as above plus 1 additional hanger/roller set, 1 additional floor guide, 2 additional anti-jump disks, and 2 additional door stoppers.

The included floor guide is floor-mounted. If you have finished hardwood, tile, or LVP you can't drill into, you'll need a wall-mounted floor guide instead — browse our floor guides collection.

A pull handle, flush pull, and latch are not included — add them before ordering to avoid a second shipment.

No pull handle, flush pull, or latch is included:

Pull handle: For opening and closing the door — browse our barn door handles

Soft close: Not included — available separately and retrofittable after installation — browse our accessories

Latch: Keeps the door closed deliberately — browse our latches collection

Flush pull: For the wall-facing side if operated from both sides — browse our flush pulls collection

Track length for ceiling mount follows the same rules as wall-mounted single track hardware. The track must be at least 2× the door width for the door to fully clear the opening. Measure the door panel — not the rough opening.

Single door: 2× door width — e.g. 36 in door → 6 ft track minimum.

Biparting (2 doors): 2× combined door width — e.g. two 30 in doors → 10 ft track minimum. Add both door widths together first, then double the combined total.

Ordering a track that's too short is the most common sizing mistake — the door won't fully clear the opening. When in doubt, order the next size up.

Tracks over 7 ft 6 in ship in multiple pieces with a junction plate included. House value line hardware is available in the listed track lengths only — no custom sizing.

Common Questions

How is ceiling mount different from standard wall-mounted hardware?

The track bracket configuration. Standard wall-mounted hardware anchors the track to a header above the opening. Ceiling mount uses a bracket that anchors the track to the ceiling joists above, dropping the track down to the correct position. Functionally the door hangs and slides the same way — the difference is only in how the track attaches to the structure. Both use the same track and roller system; ceiling mount just routes the mounting point upward instead of back into the wall.

Why does the clearance have to be exactly 6 in — not just a minimum?

The ceiling mount bracket is a fixed-depth piece designed to position the track at a specific distance below the ceiling. Unlike a wall-mounted bracket that sits flat against the wall at any height, the ceiling mount bracket projects downward a fixed amount. If the gap between your door top and the ceiling is more or less than 6 in, the track won't sit at the right height for the door to slide correctly. Measure this distance carefully — and measure it at the actual opening, not at a nearby point.

What do I need in the ceiling for this to work?

A solid structural connection point directly above where the track will sit — ceiling joists or a blocking board installed between joists. Joists work well if they run parallel to the track and land where you need them. If they don't, install a 1×6 hardwood blocking board across two joists that spans the full track length. Drywall alone won't hold — the bracket must connect to wood framing. Email us with your ceiling structure if you're unsure before ordering.

Can I use ceiling mount for a biparting setup?

Yes — select "2 Door Kit" at checkout. The biparting kit includes hardware for two doors sharing one track: a second hanger/roller set, a second floor guide, and additional anti-jump and door stop hardware. Track length formula for biparting: 2× combined door width — e.g. two 30 in doors → 10 ft minimum.

Is a floor guide included, and do I need to drill into the floor?

Yes, a floor-mounted guide is included. It requires two small screws into the floor directly below the door panel. If you have finished hardwood, tile, or LVP you don't want to drill into, a wall-mounted floor guide is an alternative — browse our floor guides collection.
