Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why won't my pocket door slide?

    The most common causes are worn rollers, damaged tracks, loose guides, debris inside the track, or a door that has shifted out of alignment.

  • Can a pocket door be repaired without removing the wall?

    Yes. Many repairs can be completed by removing the door through the access opening without opening the wall. More extensive damage may require limited drywall removal.

  • What causes a pocket door to come off the track?

    Worn rollers, broken hangers, damaged tracks, or impact to the door can all cause it to come off the track.

  • Can you replace pocket door rollers?

    Yes. Roller replacement is one of the most common repairs and can significantly improve the door's operation.

  • Do you repair older pocket doors?

    Absolutely. We repair many older pocket door systems and can often source compatible replacement parts.

  • How long does a pocket door repair take?

    Most repairs can be completed in 1–3 hours, depending on the issue and accessibility.

  • Is it cheaper to repair or replace a pocket door?

    In most cases, repairing the door is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire system and surrounding wall.

  • Do you replace pocket door tracks?

    Yes. If the existing track is bent, damaged, or worn beyond repair, we can install a new track system.
