Maximize hand tool storage in a tool cabinet with this slick tip from reader Mark Black.
 Reader's Digest On a Roll Pegboard Doors |
The key to this project is a 4-ft. long By-Pass Sliding Door Hardware Set ($11 at a home center). You mount 1/4-in. pegboard onto it, making sure to provide enough room (2 in.) to hang tools on the pegboard and still allow it to slide by the door in front. The trick is to insert 1/2-in. plywood spacers in the roller hardware as shown. You can use the floor bracket that comes with the slider hardware to maintain the same 2-in. clearance at the bottom of the cabinet. For door handles, simply drill a couple of 1-1/4 in. holes in the pegboard with a spade bit. Now pop in the pegs and hang up your tools.
