Hidden walk-in wardrobe doors: Sugatsune MFU1200 sliding door hardware
An entrance hall, seamless wall panelling and a walk-in wardrobe with doors you would never notice at first glance. This was precisely the brief for the interior designers of a private residence: when closed, the wardrobe entrance had to blend into the wall. They achieved this using Sugatsune MFU1200 sliding door hardware from the MonoFlat UNISON range.
A seamless wall without a handle
MFU1200 allows the door panel to sit flush with the surrounding wall when closed. Thanks to push-to-open operation, no handle is needed on the outward-facing side. A handle is required on the inside, however, so include it in the design from the outset. In this residence, the hardware supports a door with a marble finish, showing that a concealed entrance can work even with visually striking materials.
More space around the entrance
The door slides sideways to open, eliminating the need for swing clearance and making the walk-in wardrobe easier to furnish. However, you still need to allow space for the door panel to slide into. The system requires neither a bottom track nor a groove in the floor, leaving the flooring uninterrupted through the doorway.
Damped movement even with heavy doors
Two-way damping slows the door during both opening and closing. The manufacturer specifies a load capacity of up to 70 kg and an internal test of 100,000 opening and closing cycles.
