HOW TO HANG A BARN DOOR FROM THE CEILING

HOW TO HANG A BARN DOOR FROM THE CEILING-
Pt3 in the Playroom Series- this video is sponsored by #Accuride and Power Pro Screws
I had the hardest time finding a track for a barn door that would mount to a ceiling. I contacted Accuride and they helped me navigate their products and find one that would work for me. They suggested the 115RC or the 116. I chose the 115rc and it is a great system. I think if I had to do this again, I would choose the 116 as it’s a bit thicker and more robust system. However, I wanted a very lightweight system.
I had the system come and ready to install, however it didn’t come with any attachment hardware for the cassettes. It came with the track and the the cassettes (slides) that install into the track. I needed to find a way to attach the wooden door to the cassettes and I needed to attach the track to the ceiling with my own hardware as well. So, this video I show you what I used and how I did it.
If you are using a track for barn doors or slides for dressers/drawers etc you should check out www.accuride.com they have tons of options and lots of helpful hardware options.
Materials:
Power Pro screws - amzn.to/2vniJ1P
Accuride slide set -www.accuride.com/en-us/produc...
Metal Counter sink Bit - amzn.to/36sA46y
Lag bolts 1.5 “ - 6
Nuts 5/16 - 6
Metal Angle Bar 4ft long - 1
Wooden shims -
Tools used:
Drill set - amzn.to/38FhFEN
Driver hex bot bit set - amzn.to/37sOPHC
I am in LOVE with the track set up but it was very difficult to find a way to attach the door so hopefully this will help someone else in the same situation!
That’s it! Thanks for watching - don’t forget to like and SUBSCRIBE It makes my day and helps me keep doing these videos. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

I was almost giving up on hanging a barn door due to the soace and this ceiling barn door solution is perfect!

Thanks for sharing this! My sister and I have been wanting to get a floor to ceiling barn door put on a basement room but weren't sure if it was possible. This video has been SO informative!

[@leosmit1835]

Looks awesome. Great job on finding those ceiling-mounted sliders. I had never seen those before.

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

Thank you! I searched for a bit haha but these worked great

[@beckymurphy5399]

I’m prouda you!!🙌🏻 I’m partially closing in a large living room in a condo to make a quaint 3rd bedroom for my purposes. Thought I would need to put in real or faux beams to give a cross bar for a barn door but Thanks to you!, I can now attempt this w/o the beams 🤔🤔 We shall see what ‘man’ says 😅 …I’m completely ready for an ‘It can’t be done’ 🙄😜 🫵🏻You’re an inspiration and I appreciate you posting👍🏻

[@diamondridgedesigns8503]

Great job! I haven't hung a sliding door with that type of track before, but I know they can be a pain aligning everything!

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

it was a pain hahaha but it worked out and hopefully my experience will make it less of a pain for someone else haha thanks for watching!

Just ordered my accurride carriage set & track! Thanks for the great idea!! Now to figure out the counter sink drill bit. Guess I need to know how big the screws are first?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

That’s exciting!! Congratulations! Grab the countersink pack I linked in this video it has 4 different sizes and that will set you up perfectly

[@moneyforcandy]

@@EternalHarvestDecor THANKS! I didn't realize you had a link for the materials!

No problem!

Planning on installing 2 ceiling mounted barn doors because the threshold from floor to ceiling is open. If I contact accuride, will they provide me with all the parts I need to do this project? The Website lists all the pieces you mentioned individually.

[@lilbit5699]

thank you!!!! you saved my life. I love how you gave accurate description and the links. your door looks great. Where did you you purchase the door?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I’m so glad it was helpful! I made the door with cedar planks, I actually have another video on that process ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@khaibaki958]

Great job.It's not easy to do it.👍

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

Yes, thanks

[@srinivaspulukuru7714]

it was simple problem to solve. just need to know what to do. i would add a 1/4in washer between the cassette and bracket. the choice of bracket is also wrong. for a light weight door its ok. use a 1.5 or 2 in. x 36 in. Plain Steel Angle with 1/8 in. Thick bracket and flush it with the door for extra strength. Make sure to attach the cassette to the bracket first then drill holes to flush the cassette screws into the door. that way you can screw the bracket from top and side. that will give you a clean 1/4in or less gap between the rail and the door top. IN any case this was a great find. awesome job getting it done. always easy to improve once someone had made the mistakes. Appreciate the help.

Do you think I could hang a bi-fold door with this system?

[@peterk7428]

I'm very confused as to how you reattached the cassettes to the door WHILE they were on the track. How did you fit a wrench between the door and the ceiling?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I shimmed it up and used the thinnest wrench I could find to fit in there

[@mariannemeade4902]

I was wondering did you show a video on how you made the barn door itself?

Ceiling mount slide

[@murdabrim5768]

Does this have to be up against a wall for it to work? Or can I have it in the middle of my ceiling?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I think it should be fine in the middle of a ceiling.

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

It may need a bracket on the ground to keep it from shifting as well

[@murdabrim5768]

@@EternalHarvestDecor Ummm good point! This is a great video! Thank you😊

[@monitor00]

Looks awesome. I have a question though, did you consider using the easy close option?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

Yes I did but didnt have the budget for that this time

[@monitor00]

Thank you for the reply, I understand. It adds up quick. Congrats again, looks GREAT!

[@MoneyMaking861]

Do you know if you can cut this track to size that you desire?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

They have a few different sizes, I know that the aluminum one can be cut and then there is a steel cannot be cut (or at least I wouldnt try haha).

[@digitalflick]

what keeps the bottom in place?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I don’t have anything on this one, but you can add a u bracket to the baseboard or floor to keep the bottom in place

[@BRIANDANGELOACOUSTICREHAB]

So how much for all of the hardware needed for the project? Is this a Kit or a list of all needed parts / prices. Unless I'm reading the site wrong it's looking like 750-1000 JUST for the hardware? Tell me I'm wrong!

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I just went and double checked because it’s been a bit since I built this but no. I got the AL0115 aluminum Track not pre drilled for $90 and then two SS0115 cassette with steel bearings $70 so it is about $300

@@EternalHarvestDecor I can't find it on the site. Is there a specific model I should look for on the site?

[@sleepshooter01]

The 116 maybe more robust, but the extra $267 per cassette is a bit much for an interior barn door diy. Probably better suited for a different setup. The 115rc is $67 a cassette.

[@polmtree]

How much do your doors weigh?

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

not sure but I was trying to hit under 75lbs

[@shenalally2214]

I dont get how you attached the door AFTER the cassettes were already on the track

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

I attached the cassettes to the door and then slide the door onto the track with the cassettes.

[@shenalally2214]

@@EternalHarvestDecor thats qhat you were doing but then something broke so you said you had to install cassettes first. Or did I hear that wrong??? I will have to rewatch because I believe the first way didnt work for you. I have this task coming up real soon and want to be successful. Thank you!!!

[@EternalHarvestDecor]

Haha you’re right! It’s been a while! I actually put the cassettes in and then put the door up and got in the closet to attach with a wrench from the back. I did lift it up with some shims to make sure there was clearance at the bottom. Good luck!
