A support assembly for a sliding door includes an elongated track providing a track portion of generally inverted U-shaped cross section with spaced vertical walls. A wheeled guide rides in this track portion and includes a mounting member and a body member of generally inverted L-shaped configuration. The vertical leg is secured to a door and extends upwardly therefrom; and the horizontal leg extends horizontally above the door. A pair of wheels is rotatably mounted on the horizontal leg for rotation about axes perpendicular to the horizontal leg and their peripheral portions extend beyond the opposite ends of the horizontal portion. The axes of the wheels are oriented on an imaginary line extending at an angle of at least 30.degree. to the central axis of the horizontal leg, and the circumferential portions of the wheels rotatably bear on the vertical walls of the track.
