The problem

These openings did not have the wall clearance for a door to swing, and a bi-fold would have looked like a cupboard rather than a room divider.

What Gary did

Gary hung solid slab doors on exposed top track. The critical part is the header — the track has to be carried on something structural, dead level over the full travel, or the door creeps toward one end on its own.

The result

Doors that roll the whole opening under one finger and stop where they are put, with the strap hardware and grain doing the work visually.
