    Replace Traditional Swing Closet Door with Sliding Door

    Most kitchens and pantries could benefit from more space and better organization. In many cases, built-in shelves and drawers offer an ideal space-saving solution for a crowded closet because they allow for more room, greater visibility, and easier access to items. Many homeowners have also discovered that changing the closet doors can enhance the use of closet space. Sliding doors will not only give more usable floor space compared to traditional swinging doors, but also the door design can have an impact on the rest of the room.

    This ultra-functional kitchen beverage space is conveniently displayed behind sliding glass and metal doors using Johnson’s space-saving 111SD Sliding Bypass door hardware. 

    Johnson Hardware, manufacturer of USA-made sliding door hardware, finds that customers like the options that sliding door hardware provides. When organizing a closet or pantry for more space, homeowners like the easy access to everything in the closet, plus the customizable options of sliding doors makes for better kitchen design.  

    The 111SD Sliding Bypass door hardware is an ideal solution for most closet doors.  The hardware can support doors up to 150 pounds per panel, which allow for many styles of wood, metal and glass doors.  The inside of the pantry is still visible when both metal and glass bypass doors are closed, keeping kitchen essentials in sight yet tucked away.

    Strong 3-wheel hangers are completely adjustable and feature machine turned ball-bearing wheels for smooth gliding operation.  The compact aluminum track is precision extruded for a smoother slide and the box design prevents wheels from jumping off the track.
