ABSTRACT:
A self braking door slide mechanism particularly adapted for use with cabinets that have front doors that open upwardly and are retracted using the slide mechanism to a position in which the door is aligned with the top of the cabinet in either an over or under top position. A dampening cylinder extends between the top of the cabinet and the door to slow its downwardly hinging action when the door is being closed. Auxiliary brake pads are also provided on a stationary slide member which bear against the moving portion of the slide mechanism to slow the sliding action during closing due to the force of the dampening cylinder.
