    Default Belated Product Research Please!

    At work I'm currently making a buffet with 3 sliding doors running left to right. The centre door is in its own track and can slide left or right.

    If you owned a cabinet like this and wanted to access the centre of it, would you (most of the time) slide the centre door to the left or the right? Please note if you are left-handed.

    I'm trying to figure out a catching mechanism so the middle door will 'return' to the centre of the cabinet. It's an all wood sliding mechanism, tongue and groove type scenario.

    Thanks in advance.

    You could split the middle door down the middle if you had a sliding system that sent one to the left and the other to the right , no matter what door was opened , and then return to center ....somehow
