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

At Dessinetonmeuble.fr, our 3D configurator empowers you to easily design your made-to-measure furniture—whether it’s a wardrobe, closet, bookcase, or a more ambitious custom solution.
We do not directly manufacture sliding doors, but we’ve created an innovative approach so you can seamlessly incorporate them into your project by working with specialist manufacturers of custom sliding or mirrored doors.

With our forced dimensioning system inside the configurator, you can accurately plan recesses and adjustments to perfectly fit your rails and sliding panels in harmony with your furniture design.

Example 1: sliding doors recessed within your custom furniture

 

To recess your sliding doors directly into the furniture:

• Go to the "Columns & Uprights" tab and click the violet gear icon for the internal uprights
• Navigate to "Forced Dimensions"
• Then set a facade setback of 110 mm (for example) for each interior upright.

This will ensure you have enough space to mount the rails and allow the doors to slide smoothly without obstructing the inside of your furniture.

Example 2: floor-mounted sliding doors in front of your custom furniture

 

Alternatively, you can choose to install your sliding doors on floor-mounted rails in front of your furniture:

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

• Go to "Forced Dimensions"

• Then enter a value of -150 mm (for instance) to move these two uprights forward with respect to the furniture’s facade.

This creates a clear space in front of the main structure, ideal for installing your floor-mounted sliding doors.
