I have a 83" width closet so I used two 72" closet doors. Basically, it is 3 doors on 2 tracks

enter image description here

However it is weird because the opening is way too small: 83-72 = 11" It is because the front two doors are on the same track which is taking 72" space.

Here is the track

enter image description here

Is this installation done right?

UPDATE

This is the door I bought

Put a large door and the small door on one track - that will enable you to maximize the opening...

If you have 3 doors the same size, then install a 3rd track which means that all the doors can be in one spot maximizing the opening...

  • Each door is the same size

  • @HP. see the edit. When you said you used 2 72" doors I assumed that the 3rd was smaller...

  • I was thinking about the 3rd track option too but then the wall area on top is not wide enough. Plus there is not enough track to run. So I guess I am not sure if I use the correct parts for this scenario.

  • Make the area wider with a wood plank or similar...

Is taking the doors back and getting 28" available to you? Or at least 2 being 28". This way you can have an overlap if you want, but also if you set up the 2 smaller doors on one track, larger 32" on the other, you then will have a maximum opening of 27". Another option is to make one door a swing open door on one side, the side with the wall, so that you swing that door out against the wall, the other 2 are pushed to the opposite side, this then gives you maybe 48"
