Hi!
Does anyone know where to find tracks and wheels, etc., at reasonable prices if you're planning to build your own sliding door wardrobe? Nearly 25000:- for sliding doors for w*h 2.5*2.7 m is quite steep! Additionally, the quality of what you find at the hardware stores is not impressive.

At the hardware stores, you will probably find ELfa and another brand that I can't remember the name of right now. It's very often a 20% discount on these, so if you want to buy there, try to wait for a sale campaign.

Hello,
I also think that sliding doors for, for example, wardrobes are expensive. However, I bit the bullet and ordered some. I looked at many different brands and there seems to be a clear consensus in the pricing. Even the 20% campaign applied on the same dates with several suppliers. I finally settled on Mirro. Felt significantly more solid than, for example, Elfa.

Bought two units, each about 210cm wide, from Ekens Golv in Huddinge. White doors, plenty of Elfa interior. Total 15,000 SEK. The sliding doors were from their own carpentry. Almost cheaper than IKEA, and IKEA doesn't have custom measurements...

They stand on fairly large wheels on the floor track and roll smoothly and quietly. The ceiling track only contributes to steering. A good thing was the small bumps in transparent plastic that you press onto the floor track in the outer positions to avoid unintentional opening (when you have an old crooked house) 
One can install U-profile aluminum rails in a groove that has been milled. There are small plastic wheels that can be attached to the doors so they roll in the track.. It doesn't cost much. In the ceiling, you install a guide pin that goes in a groove. Wheels that hang in a rail seem to be a more cumbersome and expensive solution.
I have now been looking at solutions for my wardrobe project and it looks bleak. As I mentioned, I want the system with wheels on a track in the floor and only guided at the top. The problem is that the old mirror doors I’m going to use are 28mm thick, which doesn't fit in the systems where the doors are supposed to run in two tracks on the floor (max was 18mm). I am supposed to have three doors in two track slots, where two doors are old mirror doors (28mm) and one is an MDF (about 18mm).
Anyone have suggestions?

Hello! I saw a solution in a magazine Do it yourself (no. 14 2006) where they made their own frames, milled grooves, inserted aluminum rails, mounted small wheels under the doors which were also provided with guide pins at the top that fit into the milling in the upper frame.
It should work with any door width (you can choose where to mill... (Borrow from the library - copy) :-*

It is a rail with 2 parallel tracks.
The kit I bought included top and bottom tracks.
Wheels for four door panels. 2.5m long.
You can check on habo.com
K-50 is the name of my system.
Shorter tracks are available at k-rauta and
they can order longer ones.
I don't know the price, as I bought through a construction firm.
But my total price with unpainted doors was just under
3000.
Best regards, Putte
