6 panel french doors for closet?
Comments (2)jujybean, afsa is putting you in the best direction. The lumberyard will be able to help you. Consider this alternative - bi-fold doors, say 4 - 12" in a 4' opening. Bi-fold doors give you full view of whats in the closet.

Comments (31)The closet in my master is 29 inches deep. Then I have 3 other closets upstairs like this in my sons' rooms and the guest rooms. Those closets are 22, 23, and 24 inches deep. I'm standing in front of them now and thinking that if I had shelves on the sides and a bar across connecting them....well, if they were jammed packed like I have some of these closets then it might be annoying trying to move past the hangers to reach the shelves. It depends on how much stuff is in there. Looking at it now, I think I have actual "dead space" above my bar. There is so much room between the shelf above the bar and the ceiling that if I was to change my closet right now I might just keep the bar across and add cubbies above the bar for my bulky sweaters. I really don't find reaching into the side space to be that annoying. I noticed in my husbands closet he has his suits in the side space. He only wears suits at weddings and funerals. He also keeps the ironing board in there. We don't iron often. Apparently I never do bc I just now learned that's where we keep it. Lol. I don't think that little bit of "wasted space" is worth such a huge overhaul. As long as it's lit well and the doors are good (I can't say enough how much of a difference it was going from sliders and bifold doors in my last house to doors that swing open). And we have good lighting in the closet which makes it easier to see all the way into the side space. For the record, I hang 90% of my clothes. I only fold sweaters and undergarments. So having just hanging bar isn't so bad for me....See Moresearching for pull open/french doors with mirror inset for a closet
Comments (2)This sounds like something we could custom order for you. We can get bifold closet doors with wood are the edge of each "slab" and a mirror in the middle. So it wouldn't be a complete mirror front only, not sure what exactly you are looking for. It would look like the image below only a 4 or 2 door bifold unit depending on how large your opening is. Just an idea :) Try checking out our website http://www.doorbuy.com/. Happy Houzzing!...See MoreHas anyone converted bifold closet door to French using pivot hinges
Comments (1)By using pivot hinges top and bottom, it saves you the labor of removing the existing doors and frames and setting a whole new door frame. You would need to hire an experienced carpenter or handy person that is familiar with doing this type of work....See MoreCarol_from_ny
