Want to install bi-fold doors (4 panels toyal) on a closet 4 feet wide but only 59 inches high. Standard doors are all 80 inches. While I've taken off a few inches off the width in the past, I've never removed 20 inches from the height.
Does anybody make shorter doors? Do I have to make my own? Rental unit so style not that important. Ivan Vegvary (Cross posted to rec.woodworking)

Dunno if anyone makes them but you can cut a standard set down. Cut off bo ttom or top to length, remove the veneer from the core portion and insert t he plug into the cut down doors. Or, if you can find wood the right thickn ess, make a new plug for the void. BTDT

Window shutters should work. Might even find a seller who adds track mechanism for ya'.

Don't cut off the top, you need the strength built into the door to hang i t. Cut off from the bottom, and then fill in to get a solid bottom.
