Bypass Closet Doors

About Project

I really wanted some clean, modern closet doors that weren't builder grade in our master bedroom. With just a few 1x6s and some glass I came up with these plans! Please visit my blog's site for detailed project plans:

http://www.oldpaintdesign.com/2011/09/21/behind-door-number-one/

Dimensions

Dimensions: 
Bypass Closet Doors
Dimensions: 
Both doors combined are 72"x59 1/2", A single door is 72"x31". My plans also explain how to measure for your own doors!

General Instructions

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

Finishing Instructions

Preparation Instructions: 
Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

Thank you!

Thanks so much, groovymom! They were SO easy to build with the kreg jig! I know how you feel about needing space to build more stuff - there are so many plans I want to make that I need a bigger house!

I love these!

I have been looking online for ways to dress up our existing 80's style closet doors. These are perfect! Thanks for the plan!

We're doing bypass doors for both our closet and our master bedroom doors and were stuck on how to do them. Thank you for sharing!!!
