Sliding door vs hinged door wardrobe.

Here are a few pros and cons of both hinged and sliding door closets. Behind that door you want the wardrobe to be easy to explore and organise. Hinged doors are fixed on the wardrobe with plain hinges. Sliding doors are panels that have been fit to slide on tracks.

Sliding door wardrobes also tend to be larger with more space for your belongings and they can be more stable as they aren t reliant on hinges to hold up the doors. As sliding wardrobes are made of metal and plastic rather than wood this affordability appears to be the case. Sliding doors are easy to install as there are just the tracks and the wheels to be taken care of. Often sliding wardrobe doors are cheaper than their hinged counterparts.

You can evaluate a few factors before picking the perfect wardrobe for yourself such as ease of use maintenance required or the amount of space available for the closet. With hinged doors you aren t able to store anything in front of the doors as the door swings outward into the room requiring clear room in front. This type of door is the traditional way of making wardrobe doors and is quite labor intensive. Wardrobes with hinged doors are ideal for larger rooms as they need more space to open.

We can install mirrors on both hinged and sliding doors. A hinged door is fixed on to the wardrobe with simple hinges while sliding shutters are panels that slide on tracks. It is essential to check for ease of use how much maintenance is required and what will suit the kind of space demarcated for the wardrobe before you make a choice. All our pieces come with accessory options and we ll work with you to find what works.

Hinged doors require a frame hardware fittings and a lot of precision on the carpenter s end. This obviously depends on what sliding door you decide to install however due to there being less components they tend to be cheaper.
