One for Scoby, sliding internal doors. Any ideas?

I am moving my airing cupboard door from one side of said cupboard to the other, so it will open into a different room. Due to spatial constraints I was hoping to make this a sliding door, and found Scoby has posted on this before so thought he might have some ideas. I would appreciate suggestions and ideas from anyone though!

If you can imagine a straight wall about 6 feet wide, I want to put a 2 foot wide, 4 foot tall door right over on the right hand side of this wall. This door will slide to the left, inside the wall, to reveal my clean towels. The whole wall is standard stud partitioning, doesn't appear to be any wiring in it. I have no problem stripping the whole wall down to the 3x2 studs as I will have to cut a big hole in it anyway.

Now, what is the best way to install a sliding door to slide into the wall? Screwfix do some "ball race sliding gear" but I can't see how that relates to this.

Cheers all

You really need something like this in the first left picture.

Depend how much you want to pay,you can buy a sliding door kits like this from here

They also do one with a balance weight,see this.
Ball bearing type are okay but you get what you pay for or it is possible to make one of your own with internal wheels on the bottom etc.

Dammit, no-one seems to be looking at this forum. Perhaps I should ask for electric sliding doors, then I can put it in the electrics forum.

Hi,
A regular Henderson or Slik system will do the job perfectly. Do you want the door to disappear actually ''into'' the wall or just behind it? If you are taking the wall back to studs, then you'll be better off with a top hung track rather than wall hung and then you can set the track up for either option, just takes a bit of measuring and setting out.
Good luck

In the end I decided it would be far less hassle to just build a standard cupboard-type door into the wall. It is for an airing cupboard so only really needs everyday access for the top half. The bottom half will be accessed on another side of the cupboard by a full-height removable panel, so draining the cylinder and tinkering with the pipework will be achieved through this.

Thanks for the ideas guys, might come in handy in my next place.
