Quick question: what is the technical name for sliding doors? "Cavity sliding doors" seems to be what they call them in Commonwealth countries, but I can't get any links on US websites. Wondering if it's something I'll have to rig myself or if there are any dealers offering solutions. I don't want "French doors" or "removable walls" or "sliding glass doors" or other large patio installments.

More detail: I am thinking about a front door that slides into the wall on a rail and runners rather than swinging open in order to maximize space in a very small area. Needs to be lockable, weatherproofed, and heavy duty enough to serve as a replacement to a regular front door. They have them everywhere in Japan so I know someone has got to be making them in the States, but no luck yet. Help!
