Pocket door removal

Apr 28, 2012 4 Replies

I have pocket doors in two of my bathrooms. The bearings need lubrication badly. They squeak and do not move freely.



How can I get to the wheel assemblies from which the doors are suspended? There are probably two? Is there a way of doing this without disassembling the wooden covers that hide the roller assemblies? Would hate to tear all the trim apart.



Thanks

I don't know about the WD40 he applies at the end. There are a few videos online you might want to browse through for other ideas.

I was looking at mine and there is a latch that may allow the door to be released w/o removing the trim. *

Yup. Mine has a little white lever that allows the wheel assembly to come off the door then slide out the end.
