to do right,


Maybe but provided the apertures are made square and plumb with the
non squareness and plumb of the building taken up with the
architrave.

whereas sliding mirror doors - should be easy.


Track has to be level and the lower rail parallel.

As far as I can tell the doors will overlap each other


Bear in mind that with three panels you can only have slightly less
than a single panel width open open at any time. 4 panels up to two
widths.

And I should imagine this will have to be toughened or laminated
glass. and fairly thick (10 mm?) so each quite heavy.
