On laundry rooms and such..!

Ours are only 8 years old, and well takin' care of.... the doors are
falling down, not in the track, and very hard to control...

NOW... is it the wear and tear on the parts or just old tracks and such
and nevermind the age....

How about adjusting them? I some that are over 20yrs old that work
fine.

All the individual pieces and parts are available for standard bi-fold
doors even at the Borg. Have also seen rebuild kits that have all parts and
track.

Screws for hinges and track must be able to be tightened. No continued
spinning once seated. If that's the case, fill holes with WOOD pieces
coated with wood glue. Wood pieces should be put in tightly to the point
they have to be tapped with a hammer. Let dry overnight.

OK fine....but how often do those doors /tracks/ rollers, go bad?

There is no weight there, and very little friction.

It should only take an adjustment to "fix" the doors.

True. It just depends on what they've been through over the years. A
single or adult couple they might last 20+ years. Something screws or
something loosens up and an adjustment may be all they need. Get a house
where you have a couple of boys rough-housing and thrown against them
and, well... "Laundry room sex" might do 'em in as well though.
