Do you mean 86 inches high instead of 8'6" high. The latter would put the opening 6" up into the ceiling, I would think. I had trouble finding a closet door because the previous owner had put in a closet and didn't pay attention to the opening height. I found sliding mirror doors to be the only alternative at Menards. There was only (as I remember) about a $50 surcharge to have such a door custom ordered to size over the regular price of a standard size. I bought the doors at Menard's.

Are you sure the doors are 8'6", seems to me that 6'8" is normal. A standard frame house wall is just a tad over 8'. If she has decided to to build a house with 9 or 10 ft. interior walls then she's toast. Tell her to get a bigger checkbook.
I'm installing doors in my new place. Closet openings were roughed in for a 4' wide set of doors. Instead of using folding doors I went with two opposing 24" six panel doors, same style as the rest of the doors in the house.
