Hi Vince Brach--A refinement to "tphan's" sliding by-pass: use extruded plastic double channel. It looks like a squared "W" in profile ( LLl ) is about 5/8" wide and 3/8" high with two tracks about 1/4" wide each. What I saw was in dark brown, and relatively inexpensive, in one of the big box stores, where they have shelving. Use 1/8" hard masonite for the sliders and drill a 1" finger hole in each slider for opening. Have about a 1" over lap at the center of the space. Toward the bottom of the overlap drill about a 1/4" steep angled hole down thru the overlaping sliders into the bottom frame. Into this hole insert a nail when traveling to keep the sliders from vibrating open. I haven't done this yet as most of my tambors still work pretty well, but I'm getting ready to do one sticker.--Frank S
