Bifold Doors or Sliding Closet Doors; Which Cost Less?
When buying new closet doors most people look for a way to save money without compromising on quality. One way to do this is to consider the cost differences between sliding closet doors and bifold doors.

How Many Doors for Your Closet?
We custom make all of our doors to the custom sizes that you need. The time involved to make an 18″ wide door is about the same as that needed for a 36″ wide door. This means that the fewer individual doors that you have covering your closet, the lower the cost. So if your closet is 72″ wide, using 2 doors, each 36″ wide, will cost less than using 4 doors, each 18″ wide. Since wider doors are typically hung as sliders this does make sliding closet doors less expensive.

What if Bifold Doors Are My Only Option?
If your application requires bifold doors you can still keep costs down. We also offer the 200FD line of bifold door hardware by Johnson that can handle individual doors up to 48″ wide.

In the end it is not so much that sliding closet doors cost less than bifold doors. Instead it is keeping the number of individual doors to a minimum for your closet that keeps the price down.

If you are not sure how you want to hang your closet doors you can read one of older posts: Should I go with bifold or sliding closet doors?. You can also give us a call, send us an email or start an online chat. We are happy to help.

    I am looking for light weight, sliding , plantation brown looking closet doors. the opening is 108 inches. do you have anything along that line? cost?

  • Jim Lapic says:

    Hi Diane,

    We can definitely make doors for an opening 108″ wide. We make all of our shutters and doors here custom sized.

    Do you know the style of the doors you would like (louvered, panel, mirror, tongue & groove…)?

    We would also need to know how many individual doors you would like covering the opening as well as the height of the opening.

    Hi Chris,

    We emailed you a quote. For shipping to the Philippines I’ll need you to reply back with the address. We’ll then email you freight direct to yoru door, as well as an option for you to pick it up at the nearest port.

    Thanks, Jim
