Bypass doors

Bypass doors have a few disadvantages to consider. They include limited access, as only one side of the closet can be accessed at a time. The overlapping design of bypass doors reduces the effective opening width of the closet. Moving larger items in and out of the closet can be difficult due to the narrow opening and limited access. Bypass doors may also be prone to binding, jamming, or misalignment if the track or rollers are dirty or damaged. Additionally, there may be limited privacy and potential for noise transfer between rooms due to the gaps between the doors. 

A bypass door is commonly used for closets or storage spaces where space-saving and easy access are desired. It allows you to slide the doors horizontally to open or close the closet, revealing one side at a time. Bypass doors are particularly useful for wider closet openings where a traditional swing door may not be practical due to space limitations. 

Bypass doors are a type of sliding door system commonly used for closets or storage areas. They consist of two or more panels that slide horizontally on separate tracks. The panels are designed to overlap each other when opened or closed, allowing access to one side of the closet at a time.

To install a bypass door, follow these general steps:

Measure and mark the desired height for the top track.

1. Install the top track securely using screws, ensuring it is level.
2. Measure and mark the locations for the bottom track, ensuring it is parallel to the top track.
3. Install the bottom track securely using screws.
4. Hang the door panels onto the tracks, ensuring they slide smoothly.
5. Adjust the door panels to ensure they are level and aligned.
6. Install any necessary guides or handles on the door panels.
7. Test the doors to ensure they open and close smoothly without any obstructions.
