Sliding Closet Door Fix

  
  
  

closet door rollerSliding closet doors move sid-to-side via a track. They either hang from a track mounted to the header or the roll on a track mounted to the floor.

I recently came across a large opening with three sliding closet doors to enclose the opening. These doors rolled along a bottom track and they were a bit cockeyed. When you closed the doors so that they contacted the side jamb, the top of the door would touch the wall, but at the bottom of the door there was a large gap.

It's a simple fix really, with just a few turns of a screw that adjusts the height of the rollers. By adjusting the rollers, you can raise or lower each side of the door as there are two rollers per door, one on each side.

The fix for this door is to raise the roller on the side closest to the wall or lower the roller on the side furthest away from the wall.

This is all done with a phillips head scerwdriver. At the roller assembly is a screw that sits on top. Turning the screw clockwise raises the wheels and vice-versa. Adjust the wheels in small increments and check the fit to the door. You want the door to contact the wall uniformly down the edge.
