Patent ID: 8056286

Claim:
In an architectural design environment that includes one or more modular wall systems with one or more doorways, at least one of the doorways having an upper track affixed thereto, a sliding door that can be readily reconfigured after installation in a doorway so that the sliding door can be changed from a left-handed to a right-handed opening and vice versa, the sliding door comprising: a door frame having first and second vertical members joined at the top by a first horizontal member and joined at the bottom by a second horizontal member, the first and second vertical members and the first horizontal member together defining a top edge of the door frame which includes a plurality of mounting locations on said top edge; a door pull connected to one of said first or second vertical members so as to define either a left-handed or right-handed door when installed in said doorway; mounting hardware attached to said mounting locations on said top edge of the door frame in a manner that leaves the front and back sides of the door unencumbered by the mounting hardware, and said mounting hardware being removably attached to said top edge of the door frame so that if a left-handed door results when secured in the doorway, the mounting hardware can thereafter be detached from said top edge and then re-attached to said top edge of the door frame after the door frame is horizontally rotated one hundred eighty degrees, thus reconfiguring the door as a right-handed door but doing so without having to reconfigure the door pull's location on the sliding door; and said mounting hardware comprising an assembly for slidably attaching the door frame to the upper track.
