Abstract
A pivotal and extendable bathing door unit is disclosed wherein a first panel is pivotally connected to a supporting wall, and a second panel is extendably connected to the first panel, so that the door can operate to enclose without an overhead track. There are roller tracks and rollers cross-linked to each other while permitting lateral relative movement therebetween. In one form, cam members are associated with the pivotal connection of the first panel to provide a lifting action between bistable positions, and a magnetic member is connected to a handle on the second panel for attraction to a similar second panel of a second similar door unit.
