I'm trying to create a built-in cabinet to go in the doorway between a room and back hallway that is never used. The back of the cabinet will likely obscure part of the hallway (at least 24" to 30"). I assume that just as soon as I install something very permanent, we'll need the full width of that hallway to move something. As a result, I'm trying to think of possible designs that would allow the shelving unit to be removed temporarily.
The cabinet doors need to sit flush with the wall of the room. I was thinking I could build a cabinet that was about 1" to 1.5" more narrow than the width of the door and then put cleats in the door and on the sides to stabilize it. In order to make it easy to slide in and out, I would put wheels in each corner hidden by the face frame and lowest shelf.
Any obvious issues with this? It's a bit more complex, because I will likely need to hide instead of remove the existing trimwork (wife believing it can all be put back to how it was at some point). That may make it difficult to appear completely permanent so I may need to move the cabinet doors from flush with the wall to 8" to 12" out so the unit would look like a shallow built-in.
Thanks,
Mark
