Sliding door mechanism!

8 years ago

Hi there,
I'm currently making a big sliding door out of reclaimed timber. The idea is to make it look like an old barn or warehouse door.
The trouble is I'm really struggling to find some top quality, industrial looking, rustic sliding door gear.
Has anyone got any ideas? Happy to go bespoke if anyone has got a good metalworker recommendation in the London area.
Cheers!

We've just paid the deposit on some grey external/white internal aluminium bifolds. Managed to find a company who had one on display so got to have a good feel for how it all worked. I couldn't bring myself to buy one that I'd not seen! It's just a shame very few companies who sell them have showrooms, out of the 8 I rang only two could show me their product!

Hi Perrin out of interest is it a detachable cord that you attach by magnet to the top of each bifold door to operate the blinds & then detach & store in a cupboard? We saw these at the Ideal Home Show last year & ordered them when we purchased our bifold doors/windows. However, unfortunately when we returned home on installation day the wrong blinds had been fitted & we didn’t like the white strip down each pane. I’ve just paid the deposit to get the blinds changed to anthracite (to blend in better!) but am wondering if yours are what we had initially seen but could never source?!

Hi , easiest and most cost effective will be to simply remove existing doors and fit floor to ceiling sliding doors in front. Ideally remove whole of the front wall with the doors, leave interior only if you are happy with the layout. We can do supply only if you are far from us. Ideal solution would be to remove completely and replace with stunning bespoke new wardrobe.

Pending confirmation of where the WC can go on the other side of the Utility wall, I decided to shrink the bathroom down to make way for a better shape of utility. The OH is never interested in looking/discussing the designs but the other night, made a suggestion that would work if I can make the room slightly bigger. So now I propose my bathroom at 6' x 7'4 (posting on the other thread for Minnie) and the utility room would be 110cm deep x 7'4 wide. Keeping the original opening of that brick outer wall (currently a tall window in!) will save spending more on building work and bigger steels as well. What do ya think?? It will have a sliding door on to block out the washer/dryer noise of course... drying racks on the wall above the sink to hold pans/delicate glasses. rad for drying tea towels and anything else above it. Plus the ceilings are 2.75m high so I have lots of shelving/storage space for anything I can't fit in the kitchen. Loving it now
