Flipper Doors?

Brett Wissel All Messages By This Member #140638 I'm looking for expertise on flipper doors, applicability, caveats. Considering a project and concerned that a 2-sidemount door cabinet opening will be too out-of-proportion when open, but still want it to look like a 2-door cabinet opening when closed up. Opening 48-54", must be clear due to contents it is storing inside Depth of cabinet about 16"-18" *Only occasional use, perhaps monthly. Any real world experience or limitations for an opening this wide that still looks like a 2-door cabinet? -- Brett Wissel Saint Louis Restoration 1831 S Kingshighway Blvd (at Shaw Blvd) St Louis, MO 63110 314.772.2167 brett@...
Brian Lamb All Messages By This Member #140639 So, you want four doors to look like two? And then they have to retract into the cabinet? Maybe Soss hidden hinges on the two halves and then use flipper dooor hardware for the two assemblies.

Brett Wissel All Messages By This Member #140640 Actually good point, making the two doors bi-fold would limit them being out of proportion, that's a way to make them small enough to not be problematic - thanks for that suggestion. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Mar 28, 2025 at 4:47?PM Brian Lamb via <blamb11=[email protected]> wrote: So, you want four doors to look like two?

Brian Lamb All Messages By This Member #140641 They will be narrow enough once folded to go into the 16"-18" depth of the cabinet as well. Disadvantage is the Soss hinges might be visible to the whole world on the edges when folded though. Check with Hafele, I bet they have some sort of solution for all of this Brian Lamb blamb11@... lambtoolworks.com On Friday, March 28, 2025 at 02:52:05 PM MST, Brett Wissel via groups.io <brettwissel@...> wrote: Actually good point, making the two doors bi-fold would limit them being out of proportion, that's a way to make them small enough to not be problematic - thanks for that suggestion. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Mar 28, 2025 at 4:47?PM Brian Lamb via <blamb11=[email protected]> wrote: So, you want four doors to look like two?

Jason Holtz All Messages By This Member #140647 Hey Brett, I think tambour doors is your solution. I suspect the weight of a bifold door on the flipper hardware will be problematic. You can make the tambour look like a solid slab when closed but it is a lot of work. Jason Jason Holtz J. Holtz Furniture 3307 Snelling Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55406 612 432-2765 -- Jason J.

Brett Wissel All Messages By This Member #140648 Jason -? Tambours would solve the problem. They were early on ruled out due to budget constraints, but I should take another look.
