When choosing a door system for fitted furniture, at first glance there might not seem to be much difference between sliding wardrobe doors and hinge door systems. However, this is an important consideration for both aesthetics and practicality. Here’s a look at the key differences and benefits of each to help you make a well-informed decision.

 

The two systems explained

Hinged doors

Hinged doors are a timeless classic design for wardrobes and other types of fitted furniture. They are attached to the door frame with hinges, and swing outwards to provide access to the interior of the unit. The hinges can be customised to match the rest of the door hardware such as handles, and also the finish and materials of the furniture.

Sliding doors

Sliding doors operate on a track system, so that the doors slide horizontally across the front of the furniture unit rather than open outwards. This is ideal for compact spaces where there is less clearance for the doors to open outwards. The free floor space gives you more options for furniture placements such as beds and bedside tables.

The pros and cons of hinged doors

Hinged doors are ideal for a more traditional look and feel for your furniture, which might be a consideration if you have a period home and a classic approach to interior design. They offer the choice between single or double doors with pleasing symmetrical panels, and more scope for variety in the style of door handle.  

Hinged doors provide full access to the contents of the interior when open, making it easier to view and reach all of the contents. This might be a consideration for larger pieces of furniture. 

Hinged doors require clearance space to allow the doors to open fully, and this can limit the layout of the room or interfere with access when the doors are opened. Therefore they are best suited to larger spaces where floor space is not at a premium.

The pros and cons of sliding doors

Sliding doors are a space saving design that does not require additional clearance room. Therefore they are an ideal choice for small spaces and offer more flexibility in the arrangement of furniture. They bring a sleek and modern aesthetic to the room, and can be customised with mirrored facias to increase the sense of space and light.

The sliding door system will typically only allow access to one section of the interior at once, and in larger spaces the doors will need to be moved back across different sections of the furniture. Some people may find this less convenient. However, sliding doors can be easier for users with limited mobility to operate. 

Deciding factors

It may be that the nature and size of your space dictates which type of door system you choose. Other considerations include the frequency of use, the mobility of the people who will be using them, and your overall preferences in terms of style and functionality.

One word.... PERFECT. We decided to go with KOMANDOR after a very impressive initial planning meeting at their showroom in Aberdeen. This company "ooze" professionalism in every area, from customer service, design, offering honest advice, right to a NO FUSS fitting and instalation to an excellent standard of finish. The Carpenter arrived as arranged and was extremely respectful throughout the entire fitting of 2 fully fitted wardrobes. I'm amazed at how clean he worked with minimal noise and to produce a level of proffessional finish that my OCD can only dream of. KOMANDOR deliverd excellence from start to finish, thankyou to Lucas and the team. Would highly recommend and WILL be back myself to discuss bedside cabinates. 5 🌟

Komandor recently fitted new wardrobe doors for us. We got exactly what we wanted with high quality materials and a quick and efficient installation. In addition, Aga and the team helped to organise the work to take into account the fact that my wife is severely disabled. I would highly recommend this company.

Komandor fitted a wardrobe in a small bedroom in hopes to give back some space. The place now looks completely different, got new space, wardrobe looks classy and super sleek. They did an amazing job! Very happy with it.

Moved into a place which had the main bedroom in the attic. The roof angles meant ‘normal Ikea wardrobes wouldn’t be an effective use of the alcoves. We got a quote from Sharps and Komandor. Komandor was cheaper - worth noting both quotes were quite a bit higher than I initially expected but seems to be the going rate.The cupboards were installed probably a month after placing the order, the fitter was very good and left the room in a tidy state. There were two issues noticed post job, one being a scratch on a door, the other being a drawer not closing smoothly. I got in contact with them and they ordered a new door and fixed that and the drawer in one go. Cannot complain. Hopefully these will last many many years!

Komandor Aberdeen have just installed a fitted wardrobe in one of my bedrooms and we will use their services again!!! Every aspect of their service has been 1st Class right from the initial home visit through to a visit at their Rosemount premises and then the fitting. The Rosemount visit confirmed our initial positive impression of the quality of Komandor’s product and staff. All our questions were answered and the wide variety material options we were shown were very impressive. The wardrobe has been fitted and we are absolutely delighted with the finished product and the extremely professional manner in which it was fitted.When we look back at the other options we looked at we are so pleased that we chose Komandor who, in our view, were streets ahead of the competition. We have to thank Facebook for our choice as it was through Fb that we first saw the good reviews given to the Komandor products. Komandor have exceeded our expectations and we are just thrilled with our new wardrobe 😊😊😊
