Closet modification 375FL

[juudede]

Finally, closet is user friendly. Total cost of modification under $100.00. I'm really sorry. I have no clue why the photos are sideways.

I have a 375FL also. I'm not sure what I'm looking at in your photos? Did you remove the end panels that are fixed solid with the mirror, or did you just remove the sliding doors in the middle? Or did you switch everything around and the solid doors with the mirrors are now sliding doors and you installed the curtain across the space where the sliders were originally.

If you made the mirrors sliders and removed the original sliders, how do you keep the (new) sliders from moving when in transit.

Our first trip (maiden voyage), the entire closet shelf and cloths bar collapsed. I rebuilt the entire shelf and reinformced it with lumber from the bottom of the closet floor to the bottom of the shelf so it now sits on something solid.

I find it very frustrating reaching behind the 2 ends of the closet where the wall is fixed and not movable.

About 2 months ago, I removed the sliding glass shower doors and replaced them with a shower curtain. The sliders keep getting missaligned and the hook that holds the doors open in transit literally fell apart. Enough was enough. Wife said get rid of the glass. So I did.

Our mirrors are on the sliding doors. My husband raised the support bar to shelf height so we could access the rod.

I’m having the same closet issues!!! Horrible design. Do you have any pics so I can wrap my head around how you did it exactly?

Juudede was my INSPIRATION to do a fix on those sliding doors. Because of the post above I came up with this solution in the link below. This was NOT an easy fix. I did a considerable amount of carpentry work to make this happen. But, I'm an armature carpenter (raised with a hammer in my hand, but don't take money for my work)... so I had the time, the skills, and the tools to make this happen:

But, had it not been for this thread Juudede's solution, I would have never come up with mine. Thanks again Juudede!
