Claim:
A sliding door assembly for selectively closing an opening in a vertical surface, comprising: a door having at least one roller provided with a rounded edge and a pair of sidewalls; a door track that extends transverse to the vertical surface, wherein the door track defines a path of travel for the door for movement between an open position and a closed position, wherein the door track includes a first track portion and a second track portion laterally offset from the first track portion along the path of travel and wherein the rounded edge of the roller directly engages and rolls along either the first track portion or the second track portion; and a doorstop associated with and spaced from the door track and configured to direct the door laterally from the first track portion to the second track portion into engagement with the vertical surface when the door is moved from the open position toward the closed position, wherein the doorstop includes a planar ramp inclined in a direction from the first track portion toward the second track portion along the path of travel of the door between the open position and the closed position, and wherein the ramp is configured to engage against one of the sidewalls to direct the roller from the first track portion to the second track portion when the door is moved toward the closed position.
