- I show you what to look out for when you install sliding cabinet doors. I use the most simple design without any special hardware. The sliding doors run in grooves and can be easily put in and taken out. Learn how to build a sliding door cabinet!

I explain the details in this video: • MY PARTNER COMPANIES -...
I want to let you know that I cooperate with a couple of tool companies. Occasionally, they provide me with some of their tools for me to use in the shop.
But: Whenever you see me using a tool it means that I like it and think it’s worth using. When I do a review, I tell you my honest opinion.
I want to be transparent about these partnerships, however, so that you’re not kept in the dark and can make up your own mind if you think I’m in fact unbiased or not.
My partner companies are: Bessey, Kreg, Maschinenhandel Meyer, Triton, Bosch Professional, PNZ Produkte (as of 01/2021)

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👍
Thanks for that tip Stuart. Over here, the cold is only in the north. We’re here in the south of Germany which is not supposed to become so cold this week.
Thats good news on the weather front. Keep up the good work Regards S.
excellent explanation
Thank you.
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.
Thanks for the tip.
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.
Thanks for this great tip!
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!
Welcome to the channel! If I understand you correctly, your question is answered at 6:08 in this video: czcams.com/video/9N7LQykhDjA/video.html
Hi, could you tell me the model of drill press (drill holder) you use in the video please. I need a pretty accurate one and see this kind in other videos and have not found its make.
I have a detailed video about it here: kit.co/holzhandwerk_ak/my-drill-press-drill-mount
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.
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.
good
Thanks.
Hi Andreas,
Could you please make a very simple sliding barn door in one of the videos as well? Thank you
Sorry, I don’t have any use for a barn door.
In your intro you mention some hardware that can be used. What is the name of that? I have some pre-existing cabinets without door, but want to add sliding doors. Any suggestions on this?
I don’t know exactly. I’d do a search for sliding door hardware.
Sehr interessantes Video! Danke dafür. Habe Anfang des Jahres vor der selben Herausforderung gestanden, um kleine Schiebetüren in meinen Schreibtisch einbauen zu können. Hast du das alles ausprobiert oder gibt es eine Quelle? Bisher bist du der einzige der das so genau erklärt. VG Flo
Eine konkrete Quelle habe ich nicht, andere Ansätze geschaut, überlegt, vor einigen Jahren schon mal einen Schiebetürenschrank gebaut und nun die Erfahrung umgesetzt.
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 :)
I searched for “gliding tape” on amazon, sometimes it seems to be called “teflon tape”, one manufacturer is 3M. Hope that helps.

Thanks.
Hello Andreas, you have been very quiet the last 5 months, I hope everything is fine, regards Mitzi - South Africa
Hi Mitzi, thanks for caring - all is well. These last months have, again, been very busy at school - Covid created lots of dynamics which needed to be taken care of. Now the summer holidays have started and I can take a breath and get some shop time in.
Hope you’re well in South Africa? The news from there has been worrying lately …
@@holzhandwerk_ak No, it's not as bad as it seems on the news, we are all fine, looking forward to your next video 😃
Good to hear. Stay safe.
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?
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
@@holzhandwerk_ak Sorted. Thankyou very much for your help👍
How big can doors be to use this method. I have two doors 3 ft wide and almost 5 ft tall. Anyone done them this big
I would say that yours are too heavy for this method: I'd get some sliding door hardware with ball-bearing casters
Please make a video showing sliding doors with simple hardware such as E channels etc
At the moment I don’t have the need for another sliding-door cabinet, sorry.
Anyone have a link for the gliding tape?

Great tips. I was rather looking forward to seeing your Mongolian pets in their home (at the end of the video). Maybe at some time in the future you will make a video about these creatures?
They’ve turned out to be quite elusive, honestly. They’re supposed to be active both during the day and the night but ours seem to be night owls and are hardly ever seen during the day. So filming them is hard 😉
@@holzhandwerk_ak Thanks for your replie(s). I look forward to your new videos.
