cabinet "pocket door" hardware? - mound - 10-24-2022
Any of you all have experience using something long these lines to allow cabinet doors that can open but then push back inside?

They're a pain to install and adjust and impossible to keep in adjustment. The 1332 or 1432 series with the cable make things a bit better but not much.
Very difficult to design with because of the clearance needed for operation. The doors always look different than the surrounding ones. If you're going for a 1990's entertainment center look these are the ticket.

Hah good to know. I'm not going after that look. My wife saw an example of it used in an "appliance garage" coffee bar type cabinet and asked if I could do that in our kitchen. In my particular setup it would be on a cabinet that has no others flanking it so the visual difference may be OK.

This is the picture my wife showed me. Not sure if it's using that style track or not.
