If you are using our standard 1.1/4" thick closet doors your header will need to be at least 4". If you are using 2x4s for your wall with drywall on both faces you should easily clear that 4" mark. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Jim Hi Val, It really depends on the thickness of the doors.

We use the Johnson 138F series which has an enclosed track at the top that is 3.1/2" deep. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Jim Hi Mike,
