The best replacement for the bifold closet door next to front door?
+4
The coat closet opens right next to my front door. Currently there is a bi-fold door that opens into the entry and, when open, is in the way of the front door.
The current closet door needs to either have the track/ mechanism fixed or be replaced with something else. Suggestions?
I'm going to be putting down new flooring so removal won't create a new project and might make installing flooring easier with the track removed.
Do a sliding “barn” door
I have a sliding pocket door and I love it. It slides into the wall on it’s own track. Instillation may cost a bit more but it saves the space in the room that a door takes up.
Do you use it for coats? Buy an opaque glass door and have a small light on inside. Iron gate for a wine cellar. Build it out with drawers, baskets, shelves and then no door if you don't hang coats.
If possible, a pocket door would work nicely. Too bad the builder did not do that originally for you.
