I currently have a very long bedroom closet with two sets of bi-fold
doors and a center median of about the witdh of a 2x4. I would like to
knock out the center and fill the entire 100 inch space with 3 three
foot sliding doors. I would probably be OK with mirror or wood,
however I want to be able to slide all three doors to one side so 2/3's
of the closet is open. I would need a three-track system to accomadate
this and have not been able to find one. Also, standard wood closet
doors are 1 3/8 inches thick and three stacked like that might be to
thick.

Has anyone run into this and what would your suggstions be.

Thanks for and advice!!

I did a very similar project in my kitchen. I found exactly what I needed and
what you are looking for at this site.

They are not inexpensive, but the track and rollers are of excellent quality.

I reused the original bi-fold doors which were not quite wide enough for the
total opening. By disassembling the door panels at the hinges and inserting a
spacer the length of each pair of doors, I was able to have the three doors
completely cover the opening.
