I'm wondering if your current sliding doors are the correct size and have the correct overlap? If you can't access 7.5 inches of your closet, could the panels be too big? If so, could they be cut down or new door panels could be ordered?

@Mrs. S, that's great to know! I found 24" wide doors at home depot (I can't afford a custom size) that I could use for 3 door bypass. They are bigger than I need so it will still create some overlap but it is better than what I already have. I can't trim the doors since this is DIY and my skills are limited.

@J from Lakes Country, that is brilliant! You are right! I didn't know but the doors I have ARE too big at 36.5". I just found some 32" doors at home depot. They are a tiny but too small but maybe I can get creative and add some extra molding to fill in the .25" gap on either side!

I think you do need to have a slight overlap of your doors, so the sum of each door width should be 65 1/2 to 66 inches at a minimum. I would wait until a door expert responds to your post to give ideas. I wouldn't purchase the ones that are 32.

Fabric sliding panels.

@J from Lakes County, good point about needing a bit of overlap!
