Murphy door / overlapping door / kind of sliding door…

[Silly Car]

My google foo is failing me here and I’ve run out of search terms to try and find what I’m looking for…

I saw a TikTok / instagram / Facebook short where a joiner had devised a “hinge” mechanism which allowed a bookcase door within a row of bookcases to open like a normal door then fold back in front of the adjoining bookcase much in the same way a sliding door on a car / van but without the tracks just operating off hinges.

I probably haven’t explained myself very well but hopefully the below will kinda help:

Fingers crossed someone can find the short video clip / find something similar / etc

The hinge would need to be above the book cases and pivot half way* along the left hand case to make that work.

* Variable depending on how far back it is attached to each.

I completely understand where you are coming from but in this missing clip, the hinge appeared to be mounted on the side of each bookcase rather than the top.

I found that video and it is the closest to what I previously found, and would work in the space so thanks for linking it.
