Folding and sliding door systems
Folding door systems Information Folding doors combining the advantages of classical revolving doors with the practical functioning and elegance of sliding doors. They offer free access to the cabinet or wardrobe interior and do not restrict room space even when open. Freely movable door packages can be moved as desired and permit full access over the entire cabinet or wardrobe width Door pairs can be coupled so that one movement of the hand will open or close the cabinet front. Folding doors are used wherever space-saving solutions together with individual accents are desired. How to choose correct folding door fitting system?
