Sliding kitchen door issue

[acer]

In my old T5.1 when the the right hand kitchen door was fully open, I used to be able to slide the left hand kitchen door open too - it would slide the right hand door closed as I opened the left hand door. Does that make sense? Are you able to access your left hand cupboard as I have described? In my year old Ocean I have to first close the right hand door an inch or two from fully open before attempting to slide the left hand door open. No amount of silicone spray helps.

It has become frustrating, but before I bring it to the attention of my service team I wanted to make sure other people can access the kitchen cupboards as I am trying to. (They will also need to replace the handles as they are breaking too - as discussed elsewhere on this forum).

To be honest, I wouldn't attempt to open or close those doors that way for fear of breaking the fragile fasteners.
For my own sanity I always fully close one door before opening the other.

In answer to your question, yes. With the right hand door fully open I can simply open the left and both slide effortlessly to the right.

That said, perhaps read my comments in the thread below for optimal set up.
