I have a pocket door between th MBR and MBath.

Its in the wall, i.e. in the full open position. Hasn't really
worked since I bought the house in 1978. Doesn't clear the rug side
of the passageway between he bedroom and the bathroom.

I'm going to be re - carpeting the MBR and installing a tile floor
in
the MBath.

I know that I can re do the carpet and the tile floor leaving the
poket door in the wall.

As long as I'm going to be doing the capet and a new tile floor in
the bath,
I figure I might a well get the door operating.

The configuration of the rooms is such that replacement with a
standard door
will not work. (Hey, I only bought the place, I didn't design it.)

Long ago I saw a TV piece on "Ask These Four Idiots" about repairing
pocket doors. Of course I didn't videotape it (gives you an idea
about
how long ago this was). I'm looking for that piece. Anybody have
any idea on where to findit, or a link o it.

I am separately Googling for material on pocket door repair.

If any body has already got some URL cites to sites dealing with
pocket door repair, I dappreciate it if you would share those with
me.


Is being too low the only problem? If so, take off the door opening
trim at the top so you have access to the track and trolleys. The
trolleys slide in the track and are attached to the door top. There
will be some way of lowering/leveling the door incorporated into the
trolleys.

Take a look here.

"Is being too low the only problem?"

Use a carpenter square and check the bottom of the door. It may need a
trim job!

Also has universal parts.
