ABSTRACT:
A folding door, containable in a cabinet, includes a door body foldable outwardly of the cabinet. A slide member is slidable along an inner surface of the cabinet toward and away from a front of the cabinet. The door body is angularly movably connected at its proximal end portion to the slide member by a hinge. A lock member is mounted on the proximal end portion of the door body so as to be angularly movable about an axis disposed at a central portion of the lock member. The lock member has an engaging portion extending obliquely toward the inner surface of the cabinet, and a contact portion extending toward the distal end of the door body. A urging member urges the lock member to be angularly moved in a direction to abut the engaging portion against the inner surface of the cabinet. A retainer member is provided on the inner surface of the cabinet for retaining the engaging portion of the lock member. When the door body is folded, a urging surface on the door body is engaged with the contact portion so as to angularly move the lock member in a direction to move the engaging portion away from the inner surface of the cabinet.
