Well... I assume it is a UK (or European) specific idiom. I have never heard of it here in the US. I believe the idea is that if you reach some type of crossroads in your life (here in the US, we would say "fork in the road") and you can go one way or another. The choice might even seem inconsequential at that time, but might have a large impact that is only knowable when looking back upon it.

Somehow I assume the sliding door part is that you pick one door vs. another. Or maybe it really is from that Gwyneth Paltrow movie.
