Measure the door and buy a same sized one that you CAN modify. Just unscrew the door from the hinges and put your door up. Stick the original door under your bed, in the garage, use it as a coffee table, etc. Put it back on the closet when you move.

My tricked out closet door has what looks like a "wood shop project" coat rack on it. A thin (1/2 inch thick) 6 x 18 inches chunk of wood, with a contrasting dark wood border and 3 brass coat hooks. What it hides, is a circular hole in the door and a fan. The top piece of the border is really shaped like this ] leaving a space for the closet air to vent. The fan blows a steady stream of hot air out the vent. The top of the coat rack is too high for anyone under 7 feet tall to see.

I guess I should explain what I did to make this, so you guys can do your own. Sorry- no photos, no camera- Granny still lives in the "dark ages". LOL

1) Get a door and cut a circular hole through the door, about a foot down from the top. The hole should be just a tad smaller than your fan. Line the hole in the door with tag board, so the air will be forced out and not into the hollow door. Glue the tag board in with a non-water-soluble glue. So now you have a door with a lined hole through it. I lucked out- I got a door with a scratch on it (inside of the door, so it wouldn't normally show) for $15- I dabbed a bit of white paint on it and it hardly shows.

2) Make the coat rack. It is basically a very shallow box with the top border cut to make a ] shape (looking from above) allowing the hot closet air to escape. I used a Dremmel to make the top piece the right shape. I just epoxied the coat rack to the door- since it is just for camouflage, I didn't need to make it too strong.

3) I used some screws to mount a small quiet fan on the inside of the door. Be sure to use some foam rubber stripping to dampen the vibration between the door and the fan. I tried it without the foam rubber strips and it was too noisy. The cool air comes in from under the closet door.

I showed my grow to a dear friend and he thought my coat rack was a very stealthy way of getting the closet cooler. He said he never would have guessed that it was anything except what it appeared to be.
