1 door sliding closet door?
Does anyone know where in the city I can find this kind of sliding door on rails? I can't seem to find who sells these. I just want 1 sliding door as my closet door and will be installing it on the wall, on the exterior of the closet.

I looked into these too, as I thought they'd be nicer than pocket doors. I was shocked at how expensive they are - if you go for the nice hardware pictured.
Look at barndoorhardware.com I think that door hardware - without the door is about $1750.00!

that particular door setup is made by Doug Mockett & Company(http://www.mockett.com/). You can order it direct from them. They specialize in minimalist, elegant, shockingly expensive hardware and fixtures.

I ordered from this company. They have good stuff and it's cheap.I bought an aluminum sliding set up for 2 6ft French doors for about $50.

Ikea has similar doors you can buy individually for a fraction of the cost of other stores. Go to the closet section and look around.
There are many multi-million dollar lofts in Manhattan where Ikea sliding doors have been used.

Not on rails, but I thought I'd throw this out there:

We sell doors with this type of hardware. The hardware is often considered a pocket door hardware even though it does not slide into a pocket but acts more like a barn door.
Here's a link for our doors: www.diyshutters.com/doors.HTM

Go to this site and look under "flat track" doors.

I was able to get all the hardware for around $400, but I built my own door.

Go to your local hardware store. They have everything you need for the hardware. Somethings ARE possible to do on your own. The set-up and mechanics of it all are not that extreme.

Home Depot also has similar sliding doors

It is made by a German company. I bought that hardward from barndoorhardware.com (as the first poster said) after much searching after seeing it in Germany. It is expensive, but a great design. It is drop shipped from Germany. It is amazingly expensive, however.

This type of thing may not really go with the interiors of most townhouses in brooklyn. Although if you live in a converted MTA substation, this may work out OK.

actually im planning on doing something similar and although all the sites people mention have a variation on this design, none really look like the design itself. Im actually going to make my own since it is fairly easy...the wheels themselves can be found at Home Depot although not exact they are fairly close.... barndoorhardware.com has the best and most similar look but still pricey
