ABSTRACT:
A storage cabinet having a front access opening, and a door for closing the opening, which door hinges upwardly into an open position and then is movable linearly rearwardly of the cabinet for storage in a position wherein the door and cabinet top wall are disposed adjacent and substantially directly over one another. A support arrangement includes a pair of gear/rack mechanisms which couple the door to the cabinet side walls to provide for opening and closing movement of the door. The mechanisms, which include elongate rack members fixed to the cabinet side walls, secure the door in one of two different positions to enable the door to be disposed for cooperation with the top wall to permit storage of the door either above or below the top wall depending on the selected position of the rack members. The top wall is fixedly but releasably secured to the rack members for disposition in one of two different elevations depending upon the selected position of the rack members.
