After staining their barnyard closet door, our customer created a DIY mirrored closet door with a frameless closet mirror that was cut to their specifications. The mirrored closet door makeover required mirror clips on the top, bottom, and sides to fasten the mirror in place. Mirror clip hardware has two finishes in brass and chrome with square or round styling.
Closet Door Mirror Customizations
You can order your mirror in four different sizes: rectangle, square, round and oval.Custom sizes allow you to creatively fit your mirror in any space in your home. While Dulles Glass & Mirror offers several mirror edgeworks, beveled and flat polish edges look best when mirrors are unframed. Mirror tints are also available in gray and bronze.
Here’s what our customer had to say about their closet mirror door:
“The door for our closet. It’s a vintage door I cleaned with a steel brush and then did a couple of coats of poly to seal it. We added a handle and had to add the bottom piece for it to be the right size. We installed a mirror on the other side.”
While our customer ordered a rectangle frameless mirror for your sliding barnyard closet door, there are many options available to create a look of your own when redesigning a closet door.

From a previous blog post, our customer Peggy transformed an old closet door into a mirrored closet with custom cut acrylic mirrors and mirror glass glue. When gluing mirrors to surfaces such as closet doors, it is important to clean the area first and use a special type of glass glue otherwise you risk damaging the mirror backing. Before ordering her custom cut mirrors, Peggy measured her closet door so that the mirror would cover the door completely. Since Peggy had an accordion closet door, she ordered four custom cut rectangle mirrors to cover each side of the closet door.
