I would like to create two new wardrobes built into alcoves, using two sets
of made-to-measure sliding doors. There is a local firm who make and fit,
and their stuff is good - the sliding gear is German and seems very good
quality.

However, the prices are a bit exhorbitant (~£1200 per door pair without any
interiors) and I fear this has stimulated the challenge juices. I wonder
whether sliding door mechanisms can be readily obtained at reasonable cost
and whether I could get a local cabinet maker to make some doors. [These
woud be a mainly wood design, with some glass and mirror panels.]

Has anyone been down this road themselves, or had the same thoughts and
given up, or knows of suppliers/tips/pitfalls etc.

Many thanks in advance.
