Abstract
A low clearance door assembly is provided which is suitable for a variety of applications. The assembly includes an easily operated door which has two guide pins extending from each end. Guide members provide slots in which the pins ride. A spring, connected between one of the pins and the adjacent guide member, assists the user in opening and closing the door. In addition, a detent disposed in one of the slots prevents the door from opening as a result of bumping.
