   Nearly all the hardware outfits sell them, but they call them "flipper doors". So, look in your catalogs under that name.

   Not sure if what Lee suggests is what you have in mind, or not.  I thought VanDykes used to sell hardware for barristers bookcases, but I can't find them there.  (Might not hurt to give them a call.  800-558-1234)  Just looked at a nice old set of bookcases I have here in my office, and, should you have to make them yourself, there really isn't much to the hardware.  Just two metal straps and a hooked guide on each door.  I notice that a cheap, newer set I have just uses dowels that ride in a dado.  Not fancy, but they work.

   Thanks! I have made barrister book cases in the past but I had forgotten where I got them.. I have also made them without hardware but thats too much fiddling and took too much time..
