Claim 10:
11. A guide system configured to be positioned adjacent an opening, comprising:
a closure means for selectively occluding the opening, the closure means moveable from an open position toward a closed position;
a first guide means fixed to a sidewall of the opening via an anchor, wherein the first guide means comprises a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment, wherein the second segment is transverse to the first segment and the third segment, and the first segment and the third segment are parallel;
a coupling means fixed to the first segment of the first guide means, wherein the coupling means and the anchor are alternatingly positioned along the first segment of the first guide means;
a second guide means for receiving the coupling means to couple the first guide means to the second guide means, the second guide means coupleable to and decoupleable from the first guide means fixed to the sidewall, wherein the second guide means comprises a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, a fourth portion, and a fifth portion, wherein the second portion is transverse to the first portion and the third portion, wherein the second portion is parallel to the fourth portion, and wherein the first portion, the third portion, and the fifth portion are parallel, wherein the second guide means includes an opening configured to receive the coupling means, wherein the opening includes a first portion having a first portion width and a second portion having a second portion width, wherein the first portion width is greater than the second portion width and is to allow the second guide means to move vertically such that the coupling means is moved between the first portion and the second portion of the opening, wherein the second guide means comprises a ramp, wherein the ramp comprises:
an angled surface relative to a surface of the first portion of the second guide means;
a front surface that engages the coupling means; and
a side wall that defines a trough in the angled surface and the front surface, wherein the trough has a shape corresponding to the second portion of the opening, wherein the ramp is coupled to the first portion of the second guide means such that the trough is aligned with the second portion of the opening; and

a channel defined by the third segment of the first guide means and the fifth portion of the second guide means when the first guide means is coupled to the second guide means, the channel configured to receive a portion of the closure means.
