- 1. A sliding door assembly of the type including at least a stationary panel and a movable panel, said door assembly comprising:(a) a track assembly extending across a doorway and formed at least in part from extruded material and disposed in supporting relation to said panels,(b) both said stationary and movable panels comprising an interlocking rail defining a lateral peripheral portion of each panel,(c) said interlocking rails correspondingly configured and including a mating portion each of which is disposed in substantially mating engagement with one another when said panels are disposed in a closed position along the length of said track assembly,(d) each mating portion comprising two flange elements spaced outwardly from a remainder of said respective interlocking rail and in offset, non-coplanar, spaced apart relation to one another, said two flange element of each interlocking rail extending outwardly in a common direction,(e) said flange element of each interlocking rail being reversely oriented and disposed in parallel, substantially overlapping relation to correspondingly disposed flange elements of the other of said interlocking rails when said panels are disposed in said closed position,(f) a lock assembly mounted on one of said interlocking rails and including a rod element rotatable about its own longitudinal axis and including a distal end portion transversly oriented relative to a length of said rod element and rotatable therewith,(g) said rod element extending into said one interlocking rail in substantially underlying relation to one flange element thereof, said distal end dimensioned and disposed for selective positioning into and out of blocking engagement with a correspondingly positioned and overlapping flange of the other of said interlocking rails, when said panels are in said closed position, upon rotation of said rod element, and whereby relative movement between said panels out of said closed position is prevented when said distal end is in said blocking position.
