Cons: Can shatter if struck hard, heavy (need sturdy track), fingerprints visible. Mirror options: Standard mirror, bevelled mirror ($50-100 more), tinted mirror (bronze/grey), safety-backed mirror (recommended for children's rooms).Modern Alternatives Trending in 2026

DIY vs Professional Installation
DIY Installation
- Sliding/bypass doors: Replace on existing track, 1-2 hours per opening
- Bifold doors: Simple pin-and-track system
- Barn doors: More complex, requires wall blocking
Professional Installation
Hire a pro when: non-standard opening size, walls need reinforcement, multiple openings, or mirror doors (heavy and fragile). Cost: $100–$300 per opening plus door cost.
