Sliding closet dorr advice--what size lumber???
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 5:40 pmHi folks,
Finally, I am getting to the vabinets. I plan on sliding doors for convenience and space reasons. I plan to mount them in the facing frames of the cabinets.
I need advice on the size of the lumber required to accept deep enough grroves to hold the doors without them jumping out etc. I plan on using 1/8" luan for the doors so my tracks need to be about 1/4 inch wide, which suggests 3/4 inch thickness at the least--is that too skimpy??
Those of you who built sliders--what sizr limber did you use for the frame?
Hope all is well with everyone!
Thanks,
Jim
