TV pulls out on a smooth glide.
Cables and weights built inside the walls and shelving.  Door is counter weighted like an old sash window.
 
When its perfect. Its good enough. John Whipple

The TV Door panel weights nearly 24 pounds and exceeded the lift limits of the pull up door panel hardware.

I designed a counter weighted pulley system that is concealed in the walls and shelving.  Just like an "Old School" Sash window.
