Help Support UKworkshop.co.uk:
and by the way would you suggest top hung doors or bottom-sliding doors?
i plan to make the doors out of chipboard/plywood and covered with full length mirrors divided horizontally into 3 sections.
size of each door 1m x 2.8m.

silly question, but what do you meanby sliding door kit??
do you want the three doors to be connected in such a way
that they all end up at one end of the wardrobe, or
are the doors going to be like those on a lockable
cabinet on a display cabinet????/
if the first, seem to think you can get them from the sheds.
but in my experience with them, they get stuffed up by
some silly person not realising that they work that way :? :?

unless the world has moved on a real distance,
all you need is a couple of wooden, or aluminium channels
with either two or three channels inside, so it needs to be
between 40mm overall with a central upright, or
60 mm with two uprights.
apart from putting some rubber stops on the bottom of the doors
there is not much else used. the upper channel needs to be
deeper than the lower one, and you put the doors in
by tilting them and putting in the upper channel first.
since they are being retained at top and bottom, don't need
much more hardware.
in your case i think the real problem will be to ensure that the
glass on the outer doors is not proud of the space between it, and
the back of the middle door.
hope that helps

Hi Peppino,
You could try Woodfit. You are probably looking for something like this http://www.woodfit.com/product_info.php ... t+-+3+Door They do these for 2-door or 3-door.
Hope this helps :wink:

These may be a bit OTT but the company has some good gear if not a little pricey

The Helaform sliding gear they stock can be found here. They don't seem to carry the whole line.

Seem to have missed this post.
I usually go for Henderson runners. Top hung with bottom guides work the best in my experience You can get this through Isaac Lord.

Thanks for your replies. All systems seem good quality. I like the ones from PC Henderson.
sorry for the dumb question,, but how do you actually position the sliders for 3 doors? If we have doors 1, 2 and 3 then 1 and 3 are on the same sliding gear and door 2 is offset forward on another track as long as doors 2 & 3 ?
