Hi everyone;
I am taking a double closet space and condensing it into one large walk in using mirrored sliding doors, I know I have to frame the area for the the sliding doors, but I need to know what the correct way to do it is, and how do I install the sliding doors, I bought them from Habitat for humanity and they did not come with instructions.:wall:

The main issue is a finished opening(with jambs & trim) about 1" less that the combined widths of the doors. Johnson hardware for the door would be my suggestion. You need a track and hanging hardware(Johnson) and guides at the bottom. Usually in the package.
