Dec 04, 2024Sliding doors are a popular choice for partitioning closets, known for their sleek design and durability. However, over time, these doors can become misaligned or may not slide as smoothly along their tracks. Common causes for this include wear and tear, the passage of time, or even uneven walls. Fortunately, adjusting sliding closet doors is still possible, even after installation.
It’s important to keep in mind that customized sliding doors offer greater flexibility and are generally easier to adjust compared to store-bought versions. A professional installation can help avoid having to make certain adjustments, but if you’re doing an installation yourself, below are some useful tips and guidance to help you achieve that perfect glide and clean finish for your sliding closet doors.
One effective method to ensure smooth operation is shimming. Shims are thin pieces of material used to fill gaps and provide support or stability. This involves using shims to level the tracks properly, compensating for any unevenness in the flooring or walls. By placing shims beneath the track, you can create a stable base that allows the doors to slide effortlessly.
If your walls are slanted or uneven, an Allen key can be a handy tool for adjustment. Locate the bottom screw of the wheels on your sliding door and tighten or loosen it. This will either raise or lower that side of the door, correcting any slant and ensuring that it aligns with the track properly.
Another option is to modify the design of the sliding doors themselves. If you have aluminum-framed doors, changing out the insert can refresh the look without a complete overhaul. While you can also change the frame, swapping out the insert is typically a much simpler task and is a great way to update the look and feel of your closet space.
Some companies may not be able to easily do this for you, so be sure to confirm this before making a purchase. Alumcomplete is a sliding door company that does offer this feature, with installation services also available.
There are several options available to you when it comes to adjusting your sliding closet doors. By utilizing shimming, making precise adjustments with an Allen key, or considering design changes, you are sure to keep your sliding doors sliding smoothly, with updated designs that will last for years. Whether you’re looking to swap designs, or need help with an adjustment, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
