The present disclosure is drawn to a sliding panel latch system and related methods. The sliding panel latch system can comprise a striker, a sliding panel movable relative to the striker, and a latch rotatably coupled to the panel. The latch can have a striker interface to engage the striker. The striker interface can at least partially define a striker opening to receive the striker. The latch can be rotatable to a latch position to secure the striker in the striker opening and to a receive/release position to receive the striker in the striker opening or release the striker from the striker opening.

A magnetically levitating door is disclosed herein. The door may have a bracket having a magnet that is repelled from a magnet of a track. The magnet field of the bracket and the magnet field of the track may have different widths. The track may be disposed adjacent to a door opening. The bracket may have a guard in slidable engagement with the track to limit lateral movement of the magnet of the bracket disposed above and repelling the magnet of the track to levitate the door off of the track while preventing excessive lateral forces on the guard. The bracket may have at least one guide in slidable engagement with the track to secure the engagement of the bracket to the track and maintain vertical alignment of the bracket to the track.

In a high-security sliding-door apparatus for closing and opening a corridor, the door having (a) a door frame having a track and a bi-directional effector, (b) a carriage having track-engaging rollers, (c) a slide plate slidably secured to the carriage and driven by the effector, and (d) a controller controlling slide-plate movement and enabling the door to be continuously closed but not locked, the improvement comprising centering apparatus for relative positioning of the slide plate and carriage, the centering apparatus including (1) a yoke attached to the slide plate at a yoke pivot and having a yoke cam surface thereabove, (2) a carriage-attached yoke-cam follower, and (3) springs having proximal ends attached to the yoke spaced above the yoke pivot and distal ends each attached to the carriage at points offset from the yoke pivot in opposite lateral directions, centering the door with the slide plate when unlocked.

A lifting system (11) for a liftable sliding leaf (10) comprises a lifting mechanism (16) which can be connected to a top part (12a) of the leaf (10), said lifting mechanism (16) being able to move between a first configuration and a second configuration where the leaf may slide or be locked, and a control member (12), which can be located on the fixed frame of the door and can be connected to the lifting mechanism (16) so as to switch it between the two configurations.

A sliding device for doors and (24) wardrobe doors provided with multiple adjustments consists of a carriage or slider (10), provided with rollers or bearings (22) for sliding the doors to which a profile section (28) is secured having an embossed and shaped portion (22{circumflex over ( )} of a shape complementary to the profile section of said rollers (22). The carriage or slider (10) comprises a first body or front body (12), having a substantially rectangular plan, and a second body or rear body (14) intended to be connected to the first front body (12); said rear body (14) is provided with opposed substantially cylindrical appendages (16, 18) with a vertical passing-through hole (32) in which respective cylindrical bodies are inserted along which an offset and passing-through threaded hole (36) is bored, to form as many eccentrics (34). In each of the holes (36) a threaded stem or screw (38) is entered, which protrudes from the upper side of the front body (12) on which corresponding holes or slots (32y) are bored.

A roller guide (1) for a pocket door comprising a roller (16) supported by two angled support arms (10, 13) extending from a base plate (2). The roller guide may be mounted adjacent to a pocket door so the roller makes contact with a surface of the pocket door and prevents the pocket door from scraping against an opening of a wall in which the pocket door is slideably mounted.

The invention relates to a sliding door fitting comprising a carriage, which is guided on a guide rail and which is connected to a housing of a retraction device in an articulated manner, wherein the retraction device has at least one, preferably two driver elements, which can be moved along guide tracks and which are spaced apart, the one or more driver elements being preloaded into a retraction position by means of at least one force accumulator, wherein the housing of the retraction device is preloaded in a direction rotation relative to the carriage.

A pocket slide opening door assembly including a door leaf having a top edge, a door frame assembly, and a sliding assembly for slideable translation of the door leaf in relation to the door frame assembly between a closed position and an open position, wherein the assembly is provided in a plurality of parts for assembly in situ, including in a first part the door leaf, in a second part the door frame assembly with bay or pocket configured to receive the door leaf, or in second and third parts the door frame assembly and separate bay or pocket configured to receive the door leaf, and wherein the door assembly is disposed and configured in manner which prevents ligature about the door leaf top edge and in manner which prevents access to the sliding assembly for tamper purpose or for ligature purpose.

A magnetically levitating door is disclosed herein. The door may have a bracket having a magnet that is repelled from a magnet of a track. The magnet field of the bracket and the magnet field of the track may have different widths. The track may be disposed adjacent to a door opening. The bracket may have a guard in slidable engagement with the track to limit lateral movement of the magnet of the bracket disposed above and repelling the magnet of the track to levitate the door off of the track while preventing excessive lateral forces on the guard. The bracket may have at least one guide in slidable engagement with the track to secure the engagement of the bracket to the track and maintain vertical alignment of the bracket to the track.
