Get A Closet Sliding Door Back On The Track

Closet doors


If you're fortunate enough to have large closets, they may be equipped with large doors. One of the most convenient closet door styles is the sliding bifold door. These doors provide for an economy of space, a wide array of design choice and the widest possible opening. However, these doors will occasionally jump off their tracks and need to be repaired. Fortunately, it's not that difficult to get them back on track. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Locate a pivot socket in the floor track. It will be on the end of the door that stays in place during operation.


2. Find the pivot point on the bottom of the door itself. This fits into the pivot socket. It is a basic male/female connection point. Place the door into the socket on the track.


3. Push the door into an upright position, standing on a stool if necessary to reach the top of the door frame. There will be another pivot socket in the top track.


4. Depress the spring-loaded pivot point on the door and slide it into place below the pivot socket on the track. Use a flat-head screwdriver. Take out the screwdriver and release the pivot point into the socket.


5. Snap the upper and lower sliding wheel guides into place on the top and bottom tracks. Just push the wheel until it snaps into place.
