Help with removing credenza sliding doors!  

If you get your head inside the cabinet, with a flash light, and look back towards the back side of the door, I expect you will find some screws near the top that hold the guide in place.
It can be rather awkward getting your head in there though.

Not too much help but I remember my restorer took the doors off this very same model so I know it can be done.

Thanks for the comments. Leif, no screws. HowardMoon, yes, this is encouraging to know. We are taking it to a friend/dealer today, so maybe she will have insight. I will update the post. It's impossible to believe the doors weren't designed to come out because the shelves cannot be adjusted otherwise.

Can the metal or plastic track things on the bottom of the case be popped out?
I think mine has the same door construction but the shelves are on pegs, thank goodness.

Hi, just slide door to the center of the opening, lift it up and pull out the bottom first.
Sorry, will not work as there is no gap to the top refering to pic 3 and 4.
Normally there is a gap and the milled track is deeper in the middle.

Out of curiosity... how do the shelves adjust?

Hi.Did you find out how to remove the doors? As I have the same unit and could do with some help.
Thanks

Looking at the small holes made in the side panels, we can assume that the "Swedish wire" system is in use here. A U-shaped wire is inserted into the two holes; a groove in the edge of the shelf accepts this wire.
Did the original poster find a way to remove his shelves ?

Hmm. Weird. Glad you figured it out . . .

I have discovered the secret, at least for my cabinet! The doors slide in the upper grooves on two nylon pegs about 1 1/2 inches in from each corner. These pegs are spring loaded. The trick is finding a tool that will slide into the groove and push the pegs down. Strangely, an old knitting needle worked nicely, and we popped the doors out fairly easily. I will add pictures when I get to a stopping point in our refinishing project.
This cabinet was purchased somewhere around 1979 or 1980. I would not be surprised that this door glide system was used fairly commonly across furniture builders.
The first photo shows the cabinet as it is being refinished, shelves removed. The second photo shows the manufacturer's mark on the back of the cabinet. The third photo shows the nylon glide peg, with the fourth photo showing the peg being depressed with the screwdriver. I would assume that folks building, assembling, delivering and regularly refinishing these pieces have some special tool for the express purpose of popping the doors in and out.

So happy I found this post.
I've been trying to get the exact same style doors off my credenza for 3 days. I thought it was just push up the door and tilt out bottom. I used an Allen key to push the pegs down - knitting needle snapped on me. They came out with ease after reading this. Thank you!
I'm stripping mine back to its original

Did someone cut a grill onto the top of that credenza?

I actually have a question on those spring loaded nylon pegs. Anyone know where to buy those as replacement parts? my credenza has two broken pegs that need to be swapped out
