I am contemplating buying a pair of sliding closet doors so that I can scavenge the mirror off one of the panels. I have no worries about cutting the mirror to fit my DIY project, but my worry is that the mirror is glued to the door panel and that its removal is impossible without either breaking the mirror or pulling off the reflective foil backing and rendering the mirror hopelessly damaged. That said, I wonder if anyone knows how the mirrors are mounted on the sliding door panels. Are they clipped on by virtue of the perimeter metal frames or are they affixed with mastic to the door panel.

Welcome to the forums.
I would not count on removing the mirrors from the doors.
They will be glued on making removal pretty much impossible without cracking or breaking them.

Most of the ones I've worked with used double sided foam tape. Why not go to a local glass shop and buy the mirror there?
