hi,

my sister-in-law is ex-scaping chitown to the rurals of indiana and
building a small (750 sqft) new environ-good house. she must have
closet space and has been around with contractors & architects...

i don't understand why closet doors aren't part of the new build, but
now she's scoping around to find either 3 or 4 section doors. they're
8'6" high and she's so far only found hi-priced customs like at
raydoor.com... the sliding part is replacable with opening type i think,
but before i launch into a menard, lowe's, HD, search and find,
i'd like to hear anyones experience with such closet doors (ebay's
no-go) we have them olde folding louvre doors at our house, they're
ugly, but comfortable in a 1920s built 2-story box...

thanks for any advice...

Do you mean 86 inches high instead of 8'6" high. The latter would put the
opening 6" up into the ceiling, I would think. I had trouble finding a
closet door because the previous owner had put in a closet and didn't pay
attention to the opening height. I found sliding mirror doors to be the
only alternative at Menards. There was only (as I remember) about a $50
surcharge to have such a door custom ordered to size over the regular price
of a standard size. I bought the doors at Menard's.
