Sliding doors need to overlap in the center by 2 to 3 inches, so keep that in mind as you figure your door measurements. Because not all doorways are plumb, measure the width of the doorway at both the top and bottom of the closet doorjambs. Take at least two measurements of the height of the doorway as well.

What size sliding doors do I need?
To determine the proper door width, add about 4 to 6 inches to your measurement. Ideally, the door will cover 2 to 3 inches beyond the opening on each side. To figure out what size track you need, double your final width measurement. Measure from the header to the floor to determine the door length you need.Jul 23, 2019
What is the finished opening for sliding closet doors?
It all depends on the type doors you intend to use. If you used two 36" slabs (actual size 36 x 80) and a track kit (for example)...they need to overlap about an inch in the center...so your finished opening would be about 70-71" wide.Jul 5, 2011
