we're going to be replacing our sliding wooden closet doors with mirrors one. is there anything to look for when purchasing the mirror ones? i'm a complete n00b when it comes to this kind of stuff.

also, is the installation pretty straight forward? any special tools required beside the basic drill, screw driver, hammers and leveler?

danx for helping a n00b

Measure the height and width as if the existing door had already been removed.(You may find that 8' height, is a special order).
As for tools, for installation, a standard length #2 phillips, a hack saw, unless the track comes the correct standard length, a 6" shaft bit holder for a standard 1/4 or 3/8 drill motor, and a set of screwdriver bitts.
For removal, usually just a screwdriver.
