It's a 70s home, and the master bedroom has a wonderfully large closet with a very heavy double-panel sliding door. Beside the obvious drawback that we can't both use it at the same time (opening one side means the other side is blocked by both panels), it's ugly and heavy.

Any research into replacement doors reveals that nobody has made closets with doors that style in a few decades. I'd appreciate any ideas or pointers toward alternate door solutions.

(sorry about my lack of terminology, I'll be happy to clear up any missing/ambiguous info if necessary)

~edit~ To clear up, the width is the problem - it's: It's an 81 inch opening, outside of the track for the sliding panels. Height is 96" (to the ceiling). I'll get a picture up for your amusement.
