Answer 1

You buy a kit based on the size of the opening. The track is screwed to the header, rollers are attached to the upper edge of the doors and there is usually a guide that screws to the floor.

If you have the right tools, the opening is a standard size and level it shouldn't take more than an hour.

You should be able to get detailed instructions when you buy the hardware.

Good Luck

Both 1 and 2 offer valid suggestions. No offense to you, but it isn't brain surgery.

The doors will ride on the same basic track frame, but serparately in Bypassing, with one door HANGING on the track behind/in front of the other. Forgive this.....Unlike two trains on the same track rushing toward each other.

Most SINGLE Phase, bypass closet doors ride/hang on a track above the door itself, with adjustable WHEELS on brackets. My preference, in doing something like this would be to spend the cash to have a floor track as well,,,,similar to glass sliding doors for exit/entry at a perimeter of a house.

Install is as easy as being able to measure, center, square up, drill bit that screws the track in, and then adjust the doors for an easy glide, from INSIDE the closet space.

Time frame pretty much depends on the installer, and the tools used in following the instructions, usually included.

On a light hearted note, and with no offense meant. I saw a Bloopers/OOOPs video once, that showed a guy trying to craft a stairway from the ground to the level of his house. His problem was, he was watching the video IN THE OPEN DOORWAY as he attempted to follow the procedures defined, and totally messed it up.

It's really quite simple. Go buy a pair to fit your opening and then follow the instructions.
