Sliding Doors?

[Calpol]

I'm wondering how to make doors slide back into a cabinet like plenty tool cabinets and tv units and whatnot have, when the doors hinge open like they always would but then slide back and are concealed into the carcass... Anyone have any thoughts or better still pictures?

Also out of interest what are they called?

They are usually called pocket or flipper doors. I usually use hafele but there are some here too.

On the Hafele ones you usually have to use a bigger 40mm cup concealed hinge. I am not sure about the Blum ones.

Thanks for that, just found out myself they were called pocket doors as well... I did see them in Hafele but to be honest they're a bit naff I thought. I'm not fond of concealed hinges at all, in fact I hate them with a passion but that's the idea anyway so hopefully I can figure out from them how it's done... And I'll research pocket doors a bit too.

Thanks folks
