    Thank you!!! I had no clue the bottom pin can be adjusted, I had almost lost my marbles trying to figure out why the top pin didn't catch! You really covered every detail. Awesome!

    It took me a minute - well, about 45 minutes - and several videos, but I finally found one that I believe will actually be helpful to me. Thank you, kind sir. From the Southern California desert, MK 🙂🏜

    you are awesome. room mate and I got into a fight where we broke the doors. He threatened to press charges if i didnt get the door paid for. Little did i know i can purchase the equipment (10$) and do it myself within a half hour. Thank you so much. Defiantly saved me a financial burden and possibly even a friendship haha

    Thank you!!!! I live in a housing development... the first time my door went off the track the maintenance guys came in and fixed it. then my roommates door went off the track along with mine again! the guys had a fit and told us they were gonna charge us the next time this happened. that's when i came across your site, you not only helped me fix the doors but you also showed me that they didn't even fix the track in the fist place, it was all bent just like yours. thank you so so much for helping us safe $$!

    Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Growing up,we only had the classic set of pins along he side of the door. Never had to deal with these. Have a few closets to fix and adjust in this town home and now I'll know what I'm doing as I try something new. Had a three girl wrecking crew doing their best to break things. With these closets they would throw their coats and backpacks inside and if you push hard enough... they magically disappear. (Break the door).

    This was really great! Thanks for taking the time to upload this and work it all out. Our doors fell off of the pantry and my husband and I are older and it's always difficult. But your step-by-step instructional video really helped us to get it back on. The doors are like 35 years old and we were so instructional video. hope you are well. Thank you so much🙏

    Thank you for this video! My closet has been falling on me for a year, lol. Now I can finally fix it and understand what I am doing. I bought the pieces but had no idea what to do with them and the packages said "easy instructions", yeah, but not to me. Thanks again.

    Ok, I have been waiting for 2 years and even put a note in the kitchen that this door needs to be fixed for over a month. How hard can it be, I asked myself? I decided that the wait was over and found your video. My 16 year old daughter and I fixed it within 10 minutes! Now she will not have to put notes up of what needs to be fixed... She can also do it herself. Great feeling of accomplishment. Thank you Than you!

    My door just came off track to my laundry room. I've been messing around with it for over an hour even after watching this very helpful video and I'm very frustrated. You start with the top piece clicking into place, correct? What do you do if the top part won't click in to begin with? Especially when the top part is holding all the weight of the door to he able to hold in place and click in? I can't even get past the first part with the top piece. Please help asap!

    I believe when the doors are shut they should rest against one another to eliminate any kind of prolonged heaviness on the hinges, this way they are not always forced to hold the weight in place

      Thanks so much! I was getting really irritated by this thing flying open. It’s only one door and it’s my pantry - it blocks the hallway and I bash into it when I walk by, especially with laundry. I was almost going to take it off. I ended up rigging it up with a screw to stop it because it wouldn’t tighten. He trash is bent and I couldn’t get that piece off nor could I tighten it down. That piece and the track look how yours did. It stays I. Track and stays closed. It’s a bit tough to close but that is a trade off I can except until I can get out to buy a track & kit. . I really like your accent.

    What if you tighten the top screw down and it doesn't hold that piece in place that the top pin sets in? The track isn't damaged on my door, but that's what is happening to me...aside from buying a new kit I'm not sure what to check.

    Many closets and pantries have these sliding "bi-fold" doors. I have a
    one "bi-fold" door in front of our pantry, and I was wondering if it could
    be switched around so that it opens on the opposite side. Can you help?

  • @Paradox586
    @Paradox586 4 роки тому

    My bi fold door doesn’t have a roller. And the spring thing came off, the track itself is out of place too
    And the wood around the bottom screw to elevate the door is split so the screw went slipper further into the door and the whole thing came off
