Need sliding/bypass closet door that fits 96X80 opening

2 years ago

One closet does not have closet doors. And I've been searching all over for 2 sliding/bypass closet doors that fits the 96x80 opening. Please let me know where I can order one and have one made. I'm looking for either 6 panel doors, or mirror with frame doors like in the attached pictures, or a shaker door. Prefer to have the roller on top/top track but no track at the bottom, just a guider as in the 3rd attached picture. Thanks very much for your info!!!

Or a custom cabinet shop that can just make them.

You might want to have 3 doors each about 33" instead of two doors 48" wide, just so they aren''t so large and heavy. Depends on how often you would want to open them, and it might take 3 tracks to do it.

96 inches wide, 81 inches tall to be exact. But I'm told to look for doors that fit 80 inches tall. I've been searching on the internet. I saw the standard size from 48 to 72 inches wide. But could not find anything for 96 inches wide. Do you know any other places that do special order?

Rough In Opening for a Bypass Door

"We're installing two 32" doors into a rough in 64" opening. This will allow for a 1" overlap. Easy" As long as you are narrowing the rough opening 1 inch less than typical. For 32" doors with a 1 inch lap, your width would be 65" 82" is a "standard height" for most applications. We typically went 82-1/2" but you have to take into consideration the flooring used and adjust accordingly. This is also assuming your jamb header and legs are 3/4" frame thickness. Some pre-hungs have thicker jambs.

Going to need to do something like this 3-Panel sliding door. Not ideal but not the absolute worst either. I have them in my small place. Visit a real lumberyard they should have no issues getting you one for a hell of a lot less than $1K.

Do I need jambs on the sides of sliding closet doors?
Q
Comments (5)
A big reason for jambs is so the opening can be made perfectly plumb ensuring that there will be no irregular gap where the door meets the jamb. Walls are seldom plumb; test yours with a long level so you know how much/ how unsightly the gap is going to be before committing to a jambless closet opening. Making jambs out of stock lumber is very easy. 101 woodworking.

Contact your local glass and mirror shop. Or a custom cabinetmaker who may be able to special order doors for you.

My sliding doors were made by a custom shop.

They are fully mirrored so I think they were done by the same people who did my glass shower enclosures and bathroom mirrors which were also custom.

You will want three 32” or 34” doors (96” is an awkward width for the standard door sizes - is it already trimmed out?). 2 on one track (probably front), and one on the other (probably back). Just buy 3 slab doors in the style you want and get the track hardware kit ar Home Depot. Build.com has nice shaker doors.
