with 3 doors, shouldn't it be that I can open 2/3 instead?

2 doors 50% but then it would be silly if you have something in the middle?

Then it requires a rail with three tracks. It builds more in depth...

It's not so difficult to reach what's right at the door.

should be possible to have three doors on a two-track?

Hello!
I have built a wardrobe with two sliding doors (see picture). I constructed the doors from a form-pressed, white-lacquered masonite, embossed to look like beadboard. I screwed it onto a simple frame of 2 x 2 studs with a plywood back. The doors hang from a 2-track rail on wheels. At the bottom, the doors are held in place by a small guide pin. The doors have four recessed metal handles. Unfortunately, I don't remember the brand of the rail. But it was ordered through a hardware store, so it is a common product. It consisted of an aluminum rail with 2 wheels running per door.

yes, that construction is the one I have advocated for ......

Of course, but then 2 doors are on the same track and you can open a maximum of 2/3.

Isn't that right, they have three options they sell, intended for more doors.. but maybe it's just 2 tracks in the rail regardless?
 
I only asked for two-rail. But three-rail builds quite a bit in depth. With two-rail and door thickness of 2.5 cm, it becomes just over 5 cm and you probably don't want more than that.

Which rails are you thinking about now?

Skånskabyggvaror has a triple-track rail for their packages...

Sliding door fittings K-50-1.5 m For two doors
Sliding door fittings K-50-2 m For three doors
Sliding door fittings K-50-2.5 m For four doors

was thinking about these from habo... they list a higher number of doors, so I thought there were more tracks..
but if it's only two tracks regardless, I'm considering taking the longest one and having 4 small doors, should allow for the maximum opening.
 
It only has two tracks.
The more doors you have, the smaller opening you get. Imagine two doors are on the same track. These doors need an overlap of a few centimeters.

Door one is in the outer track, door two in the inner track, door three is in the outer, and door four in the inner track...

The number of doors listed with the track length is because you receive fittings for this number of doors in the package.

thinking more that more doors provide better flexibility, say I want to have a large opening in the middle, then I pull two doors to the sides.. surely I can't get such a large gap with fewer doors

or do I benefit from having 3.. feels like with 3 the doors have to be wider and the risk is greater that there will be areas you can't access the clothes in..

Or do I win by having 3... it feels like with 3 the doors must be wider and there's a greater risk of having zones where you can't reach the clothes..
Yes, that's right, you can open up the middle with four doors...

But I haven't found it difficult with just two doors over 3 meters.
