Cantilever Door

A sliding door system supported from above with no floor track, the door panel suspended and sliding freely. Cantilever doors eliminate floor obstructions and trip hazards.

Support comes from heavy-duty overhead tracks with roller carriages capable of handling significant loads. Door panels may be single or multiple, with telescoping options for wide openings. Weight capacities range to several hundred pounds per panel.

Applications include cleanrooms (no floor contamination from tracks), accessibility (no threshold obstruction), and high-end architectural installations. Bottom guides may stabilize movement without bearing weight. Related: sliding door, barn door. Shop sliding door systems.
