… is where we’d like our stuff to be.<\/p>\n
We live in a 1959 house, and I believe all the closets have the original metal bifold doors. <\/p>\n
I have always hated bifold doors. We had them in the house I grew up in, and they never, ever, EVER worked right. They always came off the track, or got jammed, or fell out of the frame completely.<\/p>\n
I hate bifold doors. And the ones in our current house are no exception.<\/p>\n
Basically, if I have a closet with bifold doors, it simply won’t get used for everyday storage. Anything put in there is likely to stay in there, because I haven’t the gumption to try to open the door, get it out, and close them again because of the sheer volume of effort and cursing involved. I’m more likely to go out and buy a new whatever-it-was. Which is probably why we have three camcorder tripods and one camcorder.<\/p>\n
One of the laundry room doors broke completely a while back, and I replaced it with the one from our bedroom closet. I like this scenario, because now I can use the closet. But someday, I’m going to have to replace it.<\/p>\n
The point of this rant, aside from expressing my hatred of bifold doors1<\/sup>, is to ask if anyone knows of a good place to get odd-size closet doors, either online or off. We’ve been to Lowes, and they do not have 93″ high closet doors. They can’t even special order them; They’re not in their catalog. The best the man could suggest was to go to a lumber yard and have some custom made, which we may yet try.<\/p>\n All my websearches have turned up are high-end custom-carved hardwood doors or other expensive-as-hell options. We just need some 93″ high, hollow, wood, cheap-o doors of the non-bifold variety, of various widths. <\/p>\n Alternatively, I wouldn’t mind holographic doors, or perhaps force fields.<\/p>\n 1<\/sup>which is intense, I assure you.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … is where we’d like our stuff to be.
