From contributor A: I recently did an entertainment center very similar in size and couldn't find pocket door hardware that would work, so here's what we did (and it worked very slick). Attach 2 1/2 or 3" fillers to the cabinet on each side with regular hinges. Attach one door to each filler with piano hinges. Attach your other doors to these doors with bi-folding hinges. You'll just have to make your doors smaller to account for the fillers; also you need magnet catches on each door. This design makes it so the doors fold and wrap around the outside of the entertainment center. It's probably not exactly the look you had in mind, but it still looks good and works very well.
From contributor D: Entertainment center with bi-fold pocket doors.

What did you use for your sliders for those 30"(?) doors? Contributor A, I have done what you are talking about with that extra filler to clear the face frame, but they really want the doors inside hidden.
From contributor D: I used standard pocket door hardware. For the bi-fold I used three hinges. I thought about piano hinge, but with the darker finish either a brass or silver finished hinge wouldn't have looked right. The hinges I used were a dark bronze color that almost blends in with finish color.  Click here for higher quality, full size image Would you like to add information to this article?
