Elmwood, Ne. Just East of Lincoln | This is what I did and it has worked great for 2 years. I put a pipe in the ground in concrete down below frost. Then on the inside of the door a pipe slides up and down that fits just right inside the ground pipe. On my wood frame door I put two flat irons for the pipe to slide in. They are drilled exactly the size of the pipe. I just pull the pipe up and turn it a quarter turn and it rests on the square iron that is welded on the flat iron. A high tech hose clamp holds it up. It is then adjustable so the pipe is held up to the bottom of the door frame for sliding. I welded a point on the bottom of the pipe so it doesn't have to be exact to slide in. If I just get it started in the hole and shake it a couple times, when I latch the outside of the door with an over center latch it usually falls on in. Was wondering if this was going to work whe I did it but so far has worked flawlessly. It's a 30 foot door. Two 15 foot sliders
