8' Closet door
7/6/2012 at 5:48:33 PM
I have a closet door opening 46"x 96" and I would like to put a door in it.
My dilemma is, should I buy a special order sliding door (like the original one) or re-frame the opening to fit standard 80" door and put a small door in the space bellow the ceiling. I would like to be able to utilize the space near the ceiling.
Any suggestions on what would be the most economical solution would be much appreciated.

You could do either and still have the space available to you above the hanging bar.
If you use a standard door size you would have to use a narrower top self thus losing about half your storage area.That is the usual option because of the expense of a special order door.
A third option would be to put a special made door above the closet door for storage access. You might find something in the cabinet door section of a big box store to use for this.
Good luck with your project.

"It will require some sweat equity but possibly you'll get lucky."
Check with H4H (Restore) Habitat For Humanity - check in Peterbourgh, Oshawa, or nearby cities.
I saw one Friday in Ottawa Restore for $75.and it was brand new.
Good Luck

Thanks guys, I will check the H4H store and if no luck, I will do the storage door (dutch door) and bifold door.
