hi everyone
my closet opening is 45x70, problem? All doors are 24" my only option has been to get the doors that slide side to side, which I hate.
Many EASY solutions?

    I have the same problem , The sliding doors keep falling off the track. I am going to hang curtains and make folding tables out of the doors. Tension roods should work

      I like this solution. I have sliding doors also and they drive me crazy.

    That is a bummer... I had the same issue, however, I didn't take the easy way out. I had solid doors cut to work. This is one of those instances in which you have to decide how much you dislike what you have. Is it worth the money to have doors made? Is it easier to find a pretty fabric to make curtain doors? Or do you decorate the sliding doors to resemble a barnlook or with wallpaper and move on? There are plenty of options. My sister painted hers with chalkboard paint...

      ZI would like to have doors that open out so I can see the whole closet, not have to open one door, look and then open the other door to see the other side, so frustrating.

    Can you install bifold doors? They don't take up as much space in room, but allow you to see entire closet.

    Could you have a pocket door installed? If not one, but maybe two, one on each side. If you are not sure wh a pocket door is, I could try to post a couple of pictures.

    I'd have someone cut the doors to size so they work. That is the easiest and least expensive way to do this.


    You could also have a barn door installed, but the hardware and door are not cheap.


    Least expensive option? Buy a heavy duty tension rod and hang a grommet style curtain you can move from one side to the other. If you want it to look fuller, purchase one that's at least 2 times the width of the current opening.

    You can order the size you need from Home Depot or Lowes just will take a couple of months or use the smaller ones adding a piece of trim of the middle to cover the gap. They do this for rooms with double doors to afford more privacy with out the gap

    Try using window shutters. They come in several sizes and are pretty cheap.
