Straight Sliding Doors ~ these doors are easy to operate,
economic to maintain and present no problems for the inclusion of
a wicket gate. They do however take up wall space to enable the
leaves to be parked in the open position. The floor guide channel
associated with top hung doors can become blocked with dirt
causing a malfunction of the sliding movement whereas the rollers
in bottom track doors can seize up unless regularly lubricated and
kept clean. Straight sliding doors are available with either manual
or mechanical operation.
