SE Michigan | Barn has (2) sliding doors (20 & 21' wide) The set of doors facing south gets used allot, that is my main entrance (end doors). On that end, I have a concrete floor / 1' wide "dirt" area and a concrete apron on the outside. That "T" latch has never been an issue. The other door set faces east get used seldom and has gravel floor / apron on either side of the doors. I can't seem to work out a way for that floor "T" to stay in place in winters, always heaves and pushes the doors up and binds in the track. What are my options for a floor latch system? That ground seems to heave allot, even with no latch it will still bind the doors if I am not careful.
the pic below is the south facing door, the east facing door is facing the smaller barn
Thinking about digging way down and filling a 1' wide area with concrete possibly 3-4' deep with something to attach the doors to like a pipe in the ground that I can slide another pipe into that is attached to the doors ??
Ideas?? Pic's ????
I should also note that anything that enters that door needs to be driven in at an angle since there is another barn just east of that one so I don't want anything that could cut a tire.
