How to Adjust Sliding Closet Doors?

1. Shimming

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.

3. Adjusting the Design

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.
