    Single, 48" slab french door?
    Anyone ever seen one or better yet, know where to get one? Looking for just one door, no frame, 48" x 80" or thereabout. I would like to use one for a pocket door but can't find one this size. Thanks

    I've tried Googling everything I can think of but have not found anything yet. Could you send me a link if you've found something? When I Google "48x80 door" I either get solid, heavy duty exterior doors or double doors where the total width of both doors together is 48". What I'm looking for is a single interior wooden door that is mostly glass (either with one large glass panel or multiple small glass panels). I just assumed they would be a common item but I guess I was wrong.

    You said French door in post #1, that's two doors side by side opening in the middle. If you want a single door 48" that's a stretch but they do make them, but I have not run across them for residential applications.

    Thanks. I believe that while a french door is typically 2 doors, a single glass door that is made of mostly glass panels is still called a french door. Regardless, that is what I am looking for. I have found some that are intended as exterior doors, which I think will be overkill in my case (both in price and weight).

    I'm currently in touch with a few companies that might be able to custom make one, but I was really hoping to just be able to order one off the internet. My other thought is to permanently attach (2) 24" doors, which seems like it should be doable. Just means a little more time on my part, which is scarce to begin with. I found a few examples on the web of people doing this, seems like it would not be too hard. Put a spline where they join together, then rabbet a large groove across the top and bottom and put in a hefty piece of wood or a piece of metal. Not my first choice, but would work.
