Hi,

I have been searching online and can't find what I am looking for. I want some kitchen cabinets (larders?) that are about 2.4 m high and to span a distance of about 3m. The kitchen is very narrow so I have decided sliding doors will be the most practical. Currently I have some old Ikea Billy bookcases doing the job of shelving and they are about the right dimensions being 28cm deep and 80 wide. I have thought of buying some new Billys and bolting them together. Its the hanging, and just getting the doors, is the issue if I don't go a for a "complete", knocked down ready-to-assemble system - if such a thing exists. It must, surely?

Thanks,

Clive

I'm not familiar with what's around in kitchen cabinets, but it looks
similar to a "wardrobe door" application. I made a sort of built-in
wardrobe from 18 mm ply, fronted with four sliding doors. It's about 8
feet high and 3 metres wide, if you will excuse my mixed units.

Wickes do them

I forget who I used. There are loads if you just google sliding wardrobe
doors, including made to measure stuff.

Obviously, you will have to build a bit of structure on to your Billys
for the top rail. The bottom rail can screw to the floor, perhaps on a
batten if it is not very even.
