ABSTRACT:
A plurality of vertical panels have edge slip hinge joint members adapted to unite mirror oriented similar adjacent panels. Each panel has a top clip and a bottom clip. Alternate top clips have swivelled roller pairs which ride on horizontal beams of the door frame header. Bottom panel clips have a guide pin depending into a channel in the bottom track of the door frame. Each panel clip has a platform extending across the top or bottom terminal end of the hinge joint of the joined panel edges. The platforms cooperate to preclude vertical displacement of the panels with respect to one another. Retainers at each of two vertical end rails extend transversely to cooperate with a bottom horizontal restraint rib to limit vertical displacement of the folding door bottom with respect to the door frame. Shaped prongs within each panel clip cooperate with aperture walls at the top and the bottom of each panel to secure the clips thereto and to prevent displacement of the apertured panel from the prongs.
