Hinged doors can be repainted. The sliding ones can be too, but they look crap when they have. I'm living with repainted ones at the moment and they look really horrible. It's a PITA to have to go from side to side to see what's in the cupboard... who can be bothered? I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Sliding door robes are usually about half the price of hinged door robes wonderland Sliding robes are more expensive than hinge ones, but I'm not too sure as to how much more expensive. Sliding door robes are usually about half the price of hinged door robes billdsl sliding cupboards should give you a little more access to the cupboard space, doors generally dont go all the way to the wall and that space in the corners is a bit hard to get to Sliding doors can go up to 2750mm high donuts another advantage of sliding is that you can place furniture or walls very close to them without worrying about being able to open the doors. I would not have been able to have a broom cupboard in my laundry if it wasn't sliding, as there wouldn't have been enough room for the doors to open. A disadvantage is that you have to slide the doors back and forth to get into each side whn you're putting stuff away. But generally I am a fan of sliding Sliding doors are good for small rooms like laundrys, but you can only access one side at a time Best Price Wardrobes Sliding door robes | Walk in robes Deco panel | Mirror | Melamine 26 to 28 Cottage lane Hackham M: 0402 927 376 http://www.bestpricewardrobes.com.au Trade welcome Re: Built in robes : Sliding Vs hinged doors 20Apr 05, 2009 9:36 pm Hinged Pros * Hinges are easier to install than railings * Easier to maintain – no railings for the door to fall off Cons * Needs space to swing through to open * May be difficult to get the door perfectly square in the doorway Sliding Pros * Require less space than a hinged door * Pocket doors can be hidden, giving a clean aesthetic Cons * Rails can be hard to install * Must have strong load-bearing structure above it to hang off * Can slip off guard rail 920 was enough to get the furniture in.
