Hinged

The major advantage of hinged wardrobes compared to sliding door wardrobes is the absence of tracks. Hinged door wardrobes avoid the problem of track accidents or breakdowns entirely by employing a simpler design, less hardware and fewer parts that can fail. A hinged wardrobe offers ease of access to open the entire closet and does not block the half of closet as of the same case of sliding closets. This makes it easier to store larger items in the wardrobe and increases the amount of light inside the closet without having to install lights inside the closet.

The aesthetic appearance is another advantage of hinged wardrobe doors. Hinged doors can be fitted with hidden hinges and can be customized or completely eliminated with door and door handles. Some doors feature hand slots instead of handles, giving the room itself a smoother, cleaner aesthetic. However, the downside of hinged wardrobe doors is that they take up space in the room when opened. Unlike sliding doors that stay flush with the wardrobe surface, hinged doors swing outward, which means more space is required in front of the wardrobe to open and close the door safely.
