Pocket Slide Hinge for Regular 7′ Doors?


I’m looking for a larger, heavier-duty version of the pocket slide hinges that can be used for regular 7′ interior doors. I have a closet with two doors that swing open from the middle and want the doors to slide back into the closet, like the pic of the cabinet doors.

Any idea of where I can get “SLIDE HINGES” for regular doors?

Where Are the Electricians?


Am I missing something? Where’s the category for electricians in the new Directory listing?

Or, are electricians grouped under General Contractors? It would be nice to have a few good electricians at hand instead of searching all day long for some recommendations from buried, old posts.

2. Does NYC code require the garbage disposal electrical wiring to be on a dedicated circuit?

Thx.

Non-Owner Run for Condo Board?


In general in NYC, can a non-owner of a condo run for the condo board and be a member? A person does not own the their unit, it is not in their name – the ownership and deed is under a family members name that bought the unit for them to live in. The the actual buyer and owner does not live in the building.

Can a person living in a unit that they don’t own run for the condo board? It would seem to me just like a owner “renting” it out without actually collecting “rent”.
