We had a pantry (really, a large reach-in shelving unit) built out of a small alcove area in our apartment. The problem we’re having now is getting bi-fold doors for them. The space is 92″ high and 72″ wide. Our contractor tried to install plywood bi-fold doors, but they were bowed and didn’t close properly. We’re looking for 4 18″ panels that are 1 3/8″ thick, either solid or hollow core, most likely in birch. Dykes Lumber quoted us approximately $910 for the 4 panels. Midwood Doors & Millwork quoted us $550, but it took them 2 weeks (and several phone calls from my husband) to give us a quote. We’re reluctant to order from them because they were difficult to get a hold of in the first place. Anyone have any recommendations as to where else we can get these doors or other alternatives for the doors? Thank you.
