A door mounting mechanism for use in a cabinet having a pocket door movable between a closed position, an intermediate position and a fully opened position, is disclosed. The door mounting mechanism comprises upper and lower guide rails each having a rack portion and a rail portion displaced along the length thereof. The guide rails are securely respectively mounted one each on the roof member and the floor member of the cabinet, with the rack portions together defining a substantially vertical plane. The rail portions are generally transversely oriented to this substantially vertical plane, and are disposed in substantially opposed relation to each other. An axle having opposed extending ends is rotatably mounted on each door member in axially parallel relation to a substantially vertical first axis of the door member by way of hinge brackets, with the axle acting as a common hinge pin for the hinge brackets. The axle has a pair of gears coaxially mounted one each on the opposed extending ends for rotation with the axle, the gears each operatively engaging a respective one of the rack portions for substantially vertically aligned rolling movement of the axle and the attached door therealong. A roller is rotatably mounted on the door member so as to be in operative rolling contact with the rail portion of the lower guide rail, thereby to support the door member, the axle and the gears above the floor member during the movement of the door member between the closed and the open positions.
