that sounds like an awsome idear or you could use glass blocks and leave the doors open just use the glass blocks to hide the fact there is a closet behind there that would look awsome.if it is in your buget if not go with the steal doors.
Locker doors.
How about a metal roll-up door like they use on loading docks.
For a really inexpensive and quick treatment, cover the existing doors with diamond plate contact paper.
roller doors are the answer. a roller door is usually used on the inside of a barn and in a lot or industrial applications. these doors are large slap doors that roll left or right depending on installation and are counter weighted to ease operation. keep in mind you will need a space equal or greater to the size of the door for this to work. the hardware for this kind of door can be found at just about any farm supply store or http://www.barndoorhardware.com/?roiid=890
If you want a really heavy industrial look …. I would find some tin and cut with tin snips to fit the door. Find someone with tin press to make the doors the size you want. (They use these to put siding on houses.)
Then you could screw in some big bolts and hardware to hang things from the outside of the doors.
Also….if you are into recycling…..You could turn aluminum cans inside out and bend and shape them to make a sheet that you could then screw onto the door facing individually. This would keep the door very light weight. You could also take a hammer to ‘dent’ the aluminum to achieve a very textured look.
Another way to go is to use paint. They sell stainless steel paint for appliances for repairs or to paint white appliances to look like ’steel’.
I would use the paint…. then wrap the doors in heavy gauge wire in interesting patterns. This would give you the opportunity to be very artistic within the realm of the industrial design concept. Making the doors appear to have a very ‘heavy’ look… without actually being heavy.
Covering the door with pieces of metal ‘flashing’ in a wild and weird design would REALLY make it pop visually. You can buy ‘flashing’ in boxes of a dozen or so. They are really cool looking and come in many different colors and types of metal.
Look at the hardware store for these items.
