Hi all,
I'm soon to build a run of wardrobes. It's a near 3m long run, i.e. 3 lots of 890mm wide x 1890mm high carcasses all fixed together. Made from 18mm MFC.
The client has specified sliding doors, but I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with straight sliding door gear which fixes into channels attached to both the top and bottom of the carcass?
This Hafele system, for example, looks good...

...but it's both expensive and I think I might be on the cusp of its 25 kg weight limit, as I'll be using 3 doors in this instance. And that's with plain MDF - not mirrored front like he wants!
Can anyone offer an alternative system?
And lastly, what overlap should I use for the 3 doors? How much bigger than each carcass? 10mm?
I've attached the client's drawing of the wardrobes. Just ignore his 2 door idea (it'll be 3) and also the 6cm gap thing (adjustable feet will be used instead.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
