Roll Top / Tambour Doors for Shelf Unit
« on: February 18, 2008, 04:51:16 pm »
I am building a custom shelf unit with doors  and was considering putting a roll top front on it rather than traditional doors.

I have found some links for how to make your own along with a few for prefrab options of which this is one:

http://www.tapeease.com/tambour_doors_and_tracks.htm

http://www.tapeease.com/fennel_tambour_doors.htm

The finished cabinet will likely be white laminate or Band-It melamine so I do not need pretty wood stained finish.

Does anyone have any other suggested resource for either prefab doors or how to make?

I look forward to any and all replies.

Thanks!

They sell all sorts of tambour items.  Panels, tracks, etc in many styles.  They ship all over the US and probably abroad too.  Having access to a CNC router, I usually cut my own track, but theirs is good quality and works well.  Get your items in before you engineer the cabinet too much.  The actual specs might be different than they say.  All nontypical hardware is like that.

You can order tambour door hardware from Rockler, Lee Valley, and Woodworker's Hardware. I thought Woodcraft used to carry it, but I don't see anything on their website these days.
