Looking for a Hinge Mechanism

[Droogs]

Does anyone know either what it is called or where I can get the following. I am looking for a hinge that will allow me to open a cabinet door and then slide the door into the caqbinet. Much as you would find on an old barristers bookcase.

I think I know what you mean. A chap in my unit did the same thing and he ended up making the mechanism himself, so perhaps a ready made product doesn't exist. It ended up working a treat for him, but he did have to put the effort in, making a mock up etc.

Ercol used a pair metal sliding drawer runners with a piece of vertical wood which they then mounted the hinges on for the door. Best photo I have of a TV cabinet.

@RichardG That's the sort of thing I'm after. I'm sure they have a name though for the complete mechanism.

Shoiuld have said door is to pivot in the vertical axis

Think I have it now - Pocket Door Slides

I think that might be a pocket door hinge?

For example (US site, apologies, but might be the right direction)

I think these are also known as Slide and Pivot door rails

something like this perhaps

The bookcases were made, predominantly, by Globe Wernicke - Google and there's quite a bit of information and few pictures of the mechanism

Seems all the ones I can find are for massive wardrobe doors etc (30kg+). I am trying to find some for cabinets for the workshop. Sick and tired of all the ools having half an inch of crud after a while, so want to make some new cabinets with nice doors for behind and above the bench but don't want to smak my head all the time

These are lightweight fixings which may suit but the shortest is 350 mm which may still be too deep?

How about these.

Häfele sell a Pocket Door system in various heights. Apologies if this has already been suggested. I believe these are made by Accuride.
