ABSTRACT:
A sliding parcel van door according to the present invention comprises a door panel, upper and lower tracks for supporting the door and permitting sliding movement thereof along a predefined path, and resilient seal members on first and second edges of the door. The door is disposed parallel to and a predetermined distance away from a supporting wall containing a passageway to be controlled by the door. The seal members are preferably resilient tubular members which extend from the door panel surface toward the supporting wall. A wedge-shaped jam is provided on each of the two vertical edges of the passageway facing the door. The supporting wall may have a wall treatment material, such as carpet or padding applied to the surface facing the door. A ridge on each jam extends forward of any wall treatment material. When the door is in its closed position, the wedge shaped jams engage and compress the tubular seal members, providing a force to hold the door in a secure, substantially non-vibrating position. A locking mechanism includes a door mounted retractable stop member for engaging two fixed stop members recessed in the lower door track.
