Which closet doors to use with laminate flooring?
We just replaced the old carpet in my 5-yr-old daughter's room with laminate flooring. Her closet has 2 sliding doors that have a track at the top and a guide at the bottom. The guys who installed the floor said not to screw into the boards, and so attached the guide to the floor with some sort of adhesive (not Liquid Nails). Not only does the brown plastic guide look out-of-place on the lovely new floor, it came loose. Someone suggested to not use a guide at all, but the doors swing on the upper track, and I'm afraid that they will fall off and injure my child. I've considered taking the doors off and putting up a curtain, but it looks temporary and dorm-like. Should I use a different type of door? My primary goals are (1) safety, (2) full access to the closet, (3) good looks.

Hello, sounds like a larger door, too big for a regular pre-hung door, so that leaves two options 1) accordian door 2) or bi-fold . Both types can be gotten at stores like the Home Depot.Hope this helps:-)

Maybe the french door style will work well. I know nothing about closet doors or anything, but it seems like they would be hinged to the door frame.
I don't know if adding that kind of door frame would mess up the floor.
The doors I'm thinking of have knobs but the knobs don't turn. The doors just click into place.
The only other thing I can think of would be the bifold closet doors. I don't think that they have a guide on the bottom.
Source(s): no background. I'm trying to decide on closet doors too.
