Heavy Duty Hardware for Bypass Doors

What Are Bypass Doors?

  • Bypass doors typically consist of two doors that slide past each other within the same opening.

  • Because there are fewer doors than in a bifold system, each door is usually wider.

Example:

  • A 6 ft (72") wide closet → two 3 ft (36") doors

  • In some custom installations, you can use three or more doors if needed.


Sizing Considerations

  • Openings may need to be slightly undersized to allow proper door overlap.

  • Alternatively, one door can be made wider to compensate.

Example:

  • A 5 ft opening may use:

    • One 32" or 30" door, depending on configuration
