Haven't seen a lot of hardware out there for sliding doors, most of it for full size doors. Ideas? you can buy hardware for this, but it's not hard to do in the shop. in designing your tracks, avoid dirt traps- that is, where you have a groove, make the open edge of it be pointing down, and where you have a rail make it stand up rather than hang down. for the sliding parts use the hardest, tightest grain wood you have in the shop, and give them a good coat of wax. remember to allow extra room at the top to be able to lift the door onto and off of the rail. |
