  • Patent number: 4680828
    Abstract: Hardware for converting a door panel into a sliding door includes a pair of two-wheel trolley assemblies for supporting a door panel, a one piece track for attachment above a door opening, and a guide assembly for the bottom of the door panel for stabilizing the door when it is in the closed position. The track has running surfaces at 90.degree. to each other on which the wheels run. For use with doors for refrigerated rooms, one of the running surfaces has elevated portions for raising one wheel of each trolley. When on the elevated portions, the door panel is moved outwards from the door opening, thereby minimizing damage by the sliding panel to the door seals.
