A long shot I know since there are many different kinds, but. I got a call
from a customer to take a look at his closet doors, just installed, but giving him difficulty. A series of 6 doors, each one with a pivot hinge at the outside edge. These close in pairs for each closet section. The hinges look heavy duty (the doors have mirrors on them and are solid themselves, I think). I tried to lift the door up and out of the hinge so I could look at the mechanism but with no luck. I need access to them to adjust the closing space. The top has an horizontal adjustment, not sure about the bottom. Enough information to give a suggestion on how to get a door off? I know the light weight ones for louvered doors have a "pin" that can be pushed down to remove it from the track, but don't know if these do. No adjustment screws on the door that I can see. I went to my door supplier and looked through a catalog but didn't see anything that looked similar. The owner thought they might be German made. -- charles |

Try unscrewing the bottom pivot stud so the door drops...then you can get it out. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
