1. A door for a compartment, the door being movable between a first position in which the door closes an opening of the compartment, and a second position, in which the opening of the compartment is accessible, the door comprising:

  • two guide systems, one guide system provided on each lateral side of the opening of the compartment to guide the door in a vertical translational movement along a vertical sliding axis such that the door is maintained in a same vertical plane in the first and second positions, wherein each guide system comprises;

    a substantially vertical guide rail forming a projecting male member and a slideway having a shape complementary to that of the guide rail to receive the guide rail and permit a sliding movement of the guide rail;

    whereinthe two guide systems extend vertically, but with different orientations relative to one another; and

    a first mechanism that applies an upward force on the door when the door is in the first position and a second mechanism that maintains, in a first configuration, the door in the first position while the upward force is applied by the first mechanism, and in a second configuration of the second mechanism the upward force automatically translates the door upwards into the second position,wherein the guide systems are oriented perpendicular to one another.
