    Abstract: A horizontal sliding door for a housing such as a cabinet. An axle rotatably mounted at the rear of the door projects into two identical tracks one at each side of the housing. Each track has a lower toothed rack and an upper stop surface facing the rack. A pinion slideably and non-rotatably mounted on each end of the axle engages the rack and is held there by an idler wheel slideably and rotatably mounted beside each pinion. A spacer sleeve near one end of the axle is removable, allowing one pinion and idler wheel to be slid inwardly, allowing removal of the door by passing that one end of the axle through a slot in one end of the track.
