The advantage of Sliding Closet Doors?

Sliding Closet Doors require the least amount of effort to open. A gentle push to the side opens your sliding closet doors out of the way. And since sliding closet doors do not hinge or fold up into the room there is no concern about your doors hitting furniture.

Why Kestrel Sliding Closet Doors?

Kestrel sliding closet doors are the finest available. Our custom sized sliding closet doors are all hand built from solid, premium hardwoods like Basswood, Spanish Cedar and Mahogany. For construction we use only traditional pegged, mortise and tenon joinery. We also offer the most diverse line of sliding closet doors with such styles as louvered doors, panel doors, interior doors fitted for mirrors, glass or fabric, beadboard doors, tongue and groove doors as well as board and batten. For added stability we even add a center stile on exceptionally wide sliding closet doors.

For these the number of doors will be limited by their weight and the number of tracks will be limited by the depth of the jamb where they are mounted.
  •  
  • Will the sliding closet door hardware damage my floors?
  • The standard hardware for sliding closet doors that we offer, Johnson Hardware 138F and 134F, do not require a bottom track. Instead they use a guide located where the doors overlap. These guides do need to be secured to the floor with screws and risers are available when used with carpeting. Heavy duty and multi-pass sliding closet door hardware will require a bottom track.
