Hello everyone,
Due to our upcoming baby, we need to install a door.
We initially considered a sliding door that would sit flush against the left wall. However, we've been told that such a door doesn’t exist.
Do you have any ideas for a cost-effective solution?
The opening is 94 cm (37 inches) wide and 196 cm (77 inches) high. Unfortunately, there is a gap at the bottom because of the staircase. I would like to drill into the wall above the opening at a height of around 223 cm ± 5 cm (88 ± 2 inches) if necessary, as the metal detector goes off below there (probably a beam).
We’re a bit unsure how to proceed.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Yes, starting from the left wall in the picture. It will become the master bedroom. The children have their rooms in the attic. Apart from noise from the cats, there should be no other disturbances.
Initially, the newborn will also stay in the room, but later will move to the attic.

The description states that the door can slide all the way to the end of the track.
I don't think sound insulation is that important.

Sure, why not. You would have to check how far the track needs to extend above. You could make a hole in the wall at the top, then the sliding door could reach right up to the wall.
In terms of sound insulation, it will perform about the same as a fabric curtain.

We’re a bit at a loss right now.
Thanks in advance for your help. Of course, it’s possible. We have a soft-close sliding door that closes flush with the wall. The track is open at the front ends. I’ll take a photo for you when I get the chance. I believe the manufacturer was I n o v a – Liberty model. I’d have to check.
But I would recommend extending the step first. I think it would bother me more to see a gap there when the door is closed.
