Pivot inserts are seated in the brackets on one side of said door and include a body member slidably seated in the channel and a pivot member rotatably seated in the body portion and extending outwardly of said open outer end of said bracket for engagement with the floor and ceiling. The pivot inserts include adjustable fasteners seated in the body member and cooperating with the bracket for adjusting the position of said pivot insert along the length of said channel and thereby the length of the pivot member extending outwardly of the bracket. The body member is comprised of a base element and a movable element which seats the pivot member and is horizontally adjustable. A cover is desirably snap fit over the brackets.
