Default Sliding Medicin Chest Mirror (help)

Okay, it's not a medicine chest yet. Newly remodeled bathroom, hole in
the wall centered above the sink, gorgeous mirror covering the hole in the
wall.
Standard medicine cabinet will not fit because of 2 inch vent stack
passing vertically up through the middle. Cannot be changed.

Anyway, since SHMBO loves the mirror, here is what I would like to do:
1) Build my own cabinet using 1/4" stock, allowing for the 2" pipe
intrusion.
2) Put the mirror on some kind of 'glide' so, in order to open it, one
would simply slide it along the wall from left to right.

Mirror is approximately 24" tall and 18 inches wide.
I need help recommending "glides". I was thinking something along the
lines of the system used to support fine cabinet drawers. Maybe something
simpler is available. All suggestions and links greatly appreciated.

They have sliding glass door hardware. Usually just a track for the glass
to slid in. That may work for you.

Talk to a glass supply shop. They could help you.
