I'm modifying a 6ft entertainment unit into an enclosure and have built a frame to fit sliding glass doors. I'm undecided whether to use 4 doors; 2 either side of the central divider, or remove the divider and have 2 large doors, providing better access and viewing.
My only concern with large doors is the breakable risk. The plastic track will only accomodate 5mm thick glass. Two large doors would be 860mm x 510mm, whereas 4 smaller doors would be 430mm x 510mm each "with two locks to look at too".
I could always remove the smaller doors for cleaning and access, but there would also be 3 interruptions to look at..ie; two door overlaps with locks and the central divider rather than just one overlap with a large viewing area.
