Default How do you remove an Interior sliding cavity door

I have a door to my laundry room that recedes in to the wall cavity.
It is hangs from two brackets that have wheels attached and slide on
a rail. One of the brackets is loose and the door no longer slides. I
con'y figure out how to get it off the rails and out of the frame with
out removing the molding. Any one know if this is the right approach?


The pocket door should be smaller than the doorway opening without the stops
installed. See he

The stops prevent the door from swinging when the door is closed. Pry out
the stops carefully, then you should be able to tilt the door into one room,
lift it off the track, and down out of the doorway.

.... of course, depending on your door, you may be able to adjust it in
place.
