The invention relates to a slide and turn door assembly, and to a support mechanism therefor. There is provided a slide and turn door assembly for an opening (4) having a top edge (5) and a bottom edge (6), the assembly comprising a first door panel (1) mounted for hinged movement relative to the top and bottom edges and a second door panel (2) mounted for translational movement relative to the top and bottom edges and for swinging movement relative to the top and bottom edges. The second door panel (2) has a captive edge (12) and a free edge (14), and has a first set of rollers (24) for the captive edge and a second set of rollers (40) for the free edge, the respective sets of rollers supporting the second door panel as it moves translationally relative to the top and bottom edges.
