neutral  Daniel Tavares: Não sei. Para mim, sliding door seria porta de correr (até por que o asker falou que portas de correr também são mencionadas no texto).

  -> Sua observação é pertinente, mas não sei de outra espécie de porta que seja "linear". Creio tratar-se de sinônimos.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Based on the context, with the track and rollers, this has to be it. (Lowercase "s")
