    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👍

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
