Sliding door for low basement ceiling.
This is the best solution for installations with low ceilings.

I have a doorway that we are wanting to put a sliding glass door to let the light through into a dark hallway when closed in the basement which has extremely low ceilings roughly 6 2 in this hallway.
Our custom designed proprietary ball bearing wheel is only 1 1 2 in diameter and the whole track from top of door to top of wheel fits in 1 75 of room.
I had three swinging doors in this tight hallway and felt that it was too many swinging doors.
I could adjust the front closet wall to position the i beam ducting to be inside the closet but don t want to loose too much room space.
All of the rooms in my house have 8 or higher ceilings with the exception of one hallway which is 7 foot i think they forgot the run hvac for the two adjoining rooms and had to shorten the ceiling to add it.
Shortening a door for a basement or an area with low ceilings is not that difficult.
