Built-In Bread Basket Door Replacement

[MotionMan]

In our kitchen, we have a built-in bread basket with a roll-up door like shown in these pictures:

I need to replace the door. I cannot find them at any B&M stores or online. My Google-Fu is failing me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry I can't help but my opinion is the one on the left is much nicer than the one on the right. The one on the right looks cheap.. infact most things around it also look cheap ukes:

I am just looking for a replacement for the one I had and the cleaning girls broke.

Your Google-Fu is failing you because they aren't "bread baskets." Try kitchen appliance garage.

I actually call it the "kitchen garage", though others all seemed to refer to it at a "bread basket," and that is what I used to find the pictures.

I will try "appliance garage".

Thanks.

Actually....the technical name for that thing is a "tambour door." Looks like you can get them from Rockler. We probably get ours from HDL, but I'm not sure if they do direct-to-public sales.

Is the track broken? I've had to install these before on-site....not so much fun...and I knew what I was doing.

<-Works in engineering/IT for a design-build, custom cabinet shop.

Here's a source I found but, you can make your own door fairly easily. You buy molding, either flat or round to match your existing door and cut them to length needed. You then glue them side by side on a piece of material (canvas works well). Allow to dry and stain or finish as desired. You then feed the completed door into the track and ad any hardware that you removed from the old door.

The track is fine. The actual door needs replacing. They broke many of the slats (or whatever they are called).

LOL. That is pretty much what we have (painted white).

Yeah, that is basically what it looks like. I would screw it up.

Well it's up to you but, I think the cost to replace the door is pretty crazy. Doing it yourself isn't rocket science or even torte reform.

If it were up to me, I'd tear out the appliance garages entirely. They just suck up useable counter space and, what is their function anyway? To make a kitchen look less like a kitchen?

Whatever new one you install I would rig it up to a motor and have a remote for it, just because.

Ensure that the slices can drop into the toaster as well

Is it bigger than a breadbox garage door?

So. Do it twice. That's the norm for me.....at least. Man card, go for it. And it's a good excuse to buy more tools.

Pics of cleaning girls.......
