Best closet doors for inexpensive rental.
What have you found to be the best closet door for a rental?
The best door would have these features in this order:
1) most durable
2) ease of installation
3) aesthetically pleasing
I'm not looking for anything fancy as it is a student rental. I have found that bifold doors are a headache to keep on their tracks. Installing a full door on hinges seems to be the most durable option so far, but takes more effort installing. Any other suggestions? Has anyone found success with cloth curtains, bead curtains, no doors, etc? Interested in hearing others thoughts. The current project has two rooms with these closet door setups.

No doors is far and away the best bet. I have never had a student even mention the lack of closet doors. I remove them immediately whether or not they are defective, and often leave the track to avoid drywall patching and painting. If they're not defective, and then they break, the renter will feel he/she deserves a new one (you can't take it away once they've had it, without some level of drama...it's become a proverb in my rental business). If it's a closet with a normal single door on hinges, I leave that in place like any other swing door. Bifolds and sliders are a headache and don't add to rent amount.
