a mounting plate configured to be mounted to the top of the door; a securing plate configured to attach to the mounting plate; a pin extending between the carriage and the mounting plate; and a connection member threadably attached to the pin to adjustably connect the pin to the mounting plate, the connection member comprising a head, a neck and a nut portion; wherein the mounting plate includes a first open ended slot, the first open ended slot comprising a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion dimensioned to receive the neck and the lower portion dimensioned to receive the head, and wherein the head is too wide to be received in or pass through the upper portion so that in use the door hangs from the mounting assembly with the mounting plate bearing on the head of the connection member, and further wherein the securing plate comprises a second open ended slot and wherein, when the securing plate is attached to the mounting plate, the second open ended slot in the securing plate is aligned with the first open ended slot in the mounting plate so as to form a closed slot which receives the connection member, and wherein lateral sides of the second open ended slot of the securing plate engage one or more flat surfaces on the nut portion on the connection member to prevent rotation of the connection member relative to the securing plate. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a height of the head is commensurate with a height of the lower portion of the slot. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mounting plate comprises a pair of tabs at an end of the mounting plate, the tabs spaced apart to present an entry or alignment slot aligned with the lower portion of the slot. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the entry slot has the same width as the lower portion of the slot. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the height of the tabs is the same as the height of the lower portion of the slot. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the assembly comprises a locking member to lock the securing plate to the mounting plate. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection member is attached to the pin by a threaded engagement to provide for height adjustment of the door. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carriage comprises a chassis and the assembly comprises a joint between the chassis and the pin to allow the pin to pivot relative to the chassis. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein the joint allows for the pin to pivot or rotate relative to the chassis. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the joint allows for the pin to pivot or rotate relative to the chassis about a pivot axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pin and parallel to the rail. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein the chassis comprises a socket, and the pin comprises a ball at an upper end received in the socket to form the joint. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The assembly as claimed in claim 11, wherein a pair of diametrically opposed members are provided between the ball and chassis on a central axis of the ball perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the pin. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carriage comprising a chassis and one or more wheels rotationally mounted to the chassis.
