As a locksmith craftsman (artisan), I believe the trade can be a craft where skilled and trained quality technicians service, manufacture, install and maintain almost anything that opens and closes.
Projects might include residential and commercial doors, cupboards, furniture, safes, cars, trucks, cabinets among other products.
Many consumers need and want better or more advantageous products and methods that contribute to making their lives easier and the Accuride products by Hafele, certainly do just that.
Hafele are quite well known, world wide as one of the leading manufacturers of quality locks, hinges and door and cabinet market products that are unique, easy to operate, install, service and maintain. A great many cabinet makers will swear by their continuing quality across many years.
The product shown here is a range of cabinet hardware where a cabinet door opens and then slides into a pocket to enable a more efficient use of space. The product contributes to better aesthetics (interior design and look), while being not too complicated to install.
The product uses some unique hardware as shown here. With not too many parts, a talented tradesperson can install them in about an hour or two.
There is no reason a DIY'er could also install, provided they have the necessary tools and follow the instructions correctly.
The diagram here displays a breakdown of how the product is attached. It doesnt appear too complicated.
A video of the product and installation is included below.
Available in differing sizes, the product is worth considering to help increase usable living space in a residence or office or hospital or anywhere that quality cabinetry is desired.
