Need door advice

9 years ago

We have an opening from a hallway to a room that is 4' 5" wide x 7' 10" tall (53" x 94"). We want to use this room as a guest room on occasion, which would mean adding a door. We can't do pocket doors because of the placement of light switches on one side & not enough space on the other. Also can't do barn doors for similar reasons. I was thinking bi-fold doors but they seem to come in 24" or 30" wide (so 48 or 60). Plus, the opening is taller than the standard 80".
Any other ideas or am I going to have to go custom?

Hi, Make the opening smaller to fit a smaller door.

What about a double door that looks like a barn door. All you really need is the custom frame built. You can order those over the phone, and you may be surprised by how reasonably priced they are. (Just another option to closing up the doorway)

Unequal bifold door set up like a pivot swing door?

French doors?

I agree with the suggestion to frame it smaller to fit the door. I'd consider that especially for the door height. But, I might like to keep a nice wide opening otherwise.
