I am so grateful for this high quality presentation. Great information and I didn’t miss watching someone drilling a bunch of holes and making a bunch of repeated cuts. Just good advice, carefully prepared and delivered. Great job! If you have more like this, I will have lost another day to KZfaq.

Some interesting tips there Andreas. In the furniture trade even the big manufacturers use a little paste wax or candle wax on friction surfaces ie Drawer sides or sliding door runners it makes a huge difference and impedes premature wear on those surfaces. Keep safe and warm over there we are expecting another bitter cold week.Kind Regards Stuart Bell from UK👍

You can use handles that stick out, if you just make sure that your grooves stop a bit short so that you can't open the doors to the point that the handles hit.

@Robert8455 Жыл бұрын

Good tips. Something else that works for helping sliding is soap and wax. The soap would be a bar soap, the (old fashioned kind), just rub real good on the bottom of the door. Use a little wax (bee's wax or even candle wax) in the bottom groove. This will also help keep the dust out.

Hi Andreas, I just became a subscriber and have watched your videos on sliding doors. I don’t believe I heard specific mention of it and my apologies if it was answered elsewhere in comments, but my question is regarding the placement of the grooves. More specifically, what is the distance from the cabinet frame to that first inner groove? In other words, how far out is the inner edge of the first groove (from the cabinet’s side panels) so that the door will not rub the sides, nor leave a space that is too large? Thanks in advance!

Hello. I am putting together a bookshelf that has a sliding door with a door track. The manual isn't very good and there are no videos of this model online. Does the door track mechanism (the plastic strip with the indention for the door) need to be flush with the bottom of the bookshelf? They aren't fitting very well so I am wondering if I need to hammer in or what I need to do.

@holzhandwerk_ak Жыл бұрын

I have no idea. That depends entirely on the shape of the tracks and the overall construction. This is impossible to answer without any pictures.

@ChristopherClaudioSkierka 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, do you know of any companies that sell those inserts for the running track? I tried looking but could not find any, perhaps I am not typing the correct words :)

Girlfriend bought a second hand cabinet. The doors are too small/the grooves are too deep and they just fall out of the grooves. Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

@holzhandwerk_ak 2 жыл бұрын

Place strips of paper or cardboard in the bottom groove; stack them until the door doesn’t fall out anymore. Then you can measure how high the door needs to be lifted to not fall out. If it’s only a millimeter or two, use gliding tape and stick it in the bottom groove, if necessary, stak two or three layers to make that groove shallower and keep the door from falling out. If it’s more than just a few millimeters, use a thin strip of wood and place it in the bottom groove
