louvered closet door replacement
I have a closet that houses my furnace and water heater. I has large
louvered doors that covers a space that is 8ft tall and 6ft wide. I've checked a home center and found that new louvered doors are at a max of 80" tall. My guess is that I could order custom sized door but they'd be very expensive. Any ideas on a better solution for this? Thanks. |

Any ideas on a better solution for this? 96" high louver doors aren't particularly rare. Lots of places they are used more than 80" ones.

The original doors are cracked, chipped and generally beat up.
