If you are building a new home or have decided to renovate your entire home, you should consider making use of closet doors which will allow much more space in your rooms, kitchen and bathroom. If your home is being built from scratch then it is far simpler to install closet doors as opposed to renovations.
However, it is well worth installing closet doors and in order to install these types of closets you will be required to remove a portion of the wall where you intend installing the doors. Depending on the size of the door will depend on how much of the wall needs to be removed. Bear in mind you need to make enough space in order for the doors to slide into the walls when opened. The space required should be more than the overall width of the doors.
Before removing portion of the wall make sure that there is no plumbing running through the wall, or any heating ducts. Also check and make sure there are no electric cables running through the wall. If there are any wires or cables, these can be relocated and requires a professional to do this. If your wall has no weight-bearing then you will need to install a weight-bearing beam, in order to carry the load.
Once your opening is ready make sure it is flush, as the top and bottom as well as the sides need to be level, so that the sliding closet doors glide open and closed easily. You can attach a length of string across in the form of an X and if the do not touch then your opening is ready for installation. If the strings do touch then you will need to adjust the vertical studs before the doors are installed.
