Hi Folks, I’m a new member of the forum, though I have been reading Fine Woodworking for years. I have a question. I was reading through Jim Toplin’s The Toolbox Book and noticed that several examples had side opening doors that slide into the cabinet. It was in the section featuring work from the Bennet school in Boston. I got the impression that the makers did not use typical pocket door hardware. Do you think they just grooved (dadoed) the top and bottom of the cabinet and had some kind of mating pin coming out the top and bottom of the door? Thanks for any responses.

ned,
The Bennet street school grad I used to work with used just that arrangement on his tool box.

Thanks Ray,I am considering making a tool cabinet/box and I liked the configuration of pocket type doors. I did not want to use the hardware however.
