Bypass Sliding Doors
 Bypass sliding doors are another solution for wide openings. They are most often used for -losers. Bypass doors are easy to install and don't rake up space in a room, but they limit access to half of the closet at a time. Most interior sliders hang on a track mounted to the head jamb.
Bypass doors can be installed in a regular jamb-lined opening or, if there are no jambs, from the floor to the ceiling. (Drywall covers the sides of the opening.) The hardware for regular bypass doors includes an overhead track, hangers, and floor guides. It's essential that the hardware be rated for the weight of the doors. The heavier the doors, the sturdier-and more expensive - the hardware.
For exterior use, bypass doors are frequently installed as sliding patio doors, which run on a lower track. Aluminum patio doors are inexpensive, but they lose a lot of heat because of their high thermal conductivity. Clad wood units have largely replaced them in all but the mildest climates.
