I messed up. Now I need to screw into particle board.
I bought a sliding barn door that was the right width but a bit too tall. The
bottom has a groove for a guide, so in order to shorten the door, I cut a couple inches off the top. The trouble is, I cut off the hardwood at the top of the door that the roller assembly screws into and now all that's left is the particle board interior. The particle board isn't strong enough to hold the weight of the door on the rollers. So... I need to figure out how to attach the rollers to the top of the door, with only particle board to screw into. (In retrospect, I clearly should have cut extra height off the bottom - too late now.) I'm wondering if I drill holes, fill them with epoxy, and then set the screws in place if that will be strong enough. Thoughts? Here is the door for reference: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Masonite-...7590/206193108 -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...d-1136676-.htm |
