How to replace bifold doors with something else?

Hi Beachkoz, first, let me tell you bigold doors were used to prevent mold and mildew from forming. Ventilation was the goal. Now, you can fix the doors to form a whole door and use just a slide (fake door knob) screendoir hanfle to open and close the door.

I give this info on the assumption that there is no a/c vent in your closet. As most don’t have them.

Of course, you can always put a real door in!

You can install a regular door or sliding doors. Is the bi fold feature you are tired of or the door style aesthetically? They come in a lot of styles.

Just buy a reg. Door that fits the opening.

I never thought about the ventilation. Often times bifold doors were installed due to the lack of space to install a full door either due to traffic issues. If space is an issue those double sliding doors may be an option.

I like the "barn door" look. But there is some carpentry involved. Another choice would be to just convert the bi-fold doors you have. You could remove the slats and put mirror there instead. Or maybe a new paint color would help. Make sure to do something you like. Have fun with this project.

We found that getting a new door for our pantry wasn't an option. We would need a custom size or create a barn door. Both of which were not in our budget. Instead, we took apart the bi-fold doors and made them open like french doors and gave them a complete makeover.
