Article : How can I create custom furniture to incorporate sliding doors?

At Dessinetonmeuble.fr, our 3D configurator allows you to easily design your custom furniture: wardrobes, closets, bookcases, or even more comprehensive layouts.
We do not directly manufacture sliding doors, but we have developed an ingenious solution, enabling you to incorporate them into your project by working with specialized manufacturers of made-to-measure sliding or mirrored doors.

Thanks to our forced dimensions system within the configurator, you can plan the necessary clearance and adjustments to install your rails and sliding fronts in perfect harmony with your furniture.

Example 1: Sliding doors recessed into the custom furniture

 

To recess your sliding doors directly into the furniture:

• Go to the "Columns & Uprights" tab, then click on the purple gear icon for the interior uprights
• Navigate to "Forced dimensions"
• Then enter a front setback of 110 mm (for example) for each of the interior uprights.

This way, you have all the space you need to install the rails and allow the doors to slide without interfering with the interior of your furniture.

Example 2: Floor-mounted sliding doors in front of the custom furniture

 

You can also choose to install your sliding doors on floor-mounted rails, in front of the furniture:

• Within "Columns & Uprights", select the left and right end uprights.

• Go to "Forced dimensions"

• Then enter a value of -150 mm (for example) to advance these two uprights relative to the furniture's front.

In this way, you will create free space in front of the structure, ideal for installing your floor-mounted sliding doors.
