Dear all
Does anyone know of a cheap solution for some internal sliding security doors? We have heavy-duty shelving installed in a storeroom and these require sliding doors on the front of them, so they can be locked. I am using 18mm mdf for the doors 2.4m h * 1.7m w and they have to slide in front or behind one another (there are 2 doors for each section and there are two sections so 4 doors in all). I have sourced some sliding gear from a supplier in the UK, which is made by a company called Koblenz. When I received the quote I nearly fell over. For some simple tracking and runners they quoted nearly £300. I have tried to bypass the supplier but have not managed to locate the Koblenz website to source direct. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how these doors can be fitted and alternative sources for sliding door mechanisms. The doors have to be secure (hence 18mm mdf), sliding and non-removable from the front.
Thank you in advance
Dr mendit

I have been researching the same dilemma. We would like to install frosted glass/loft style doors in our house. I have found that The Building Box caries "barn door hardware", it's a bit bulky but you could cover up the hardware with a "valance" if you don't like the look. They also have hardware for sliding closet doors, you might be able to design your own door using that.
