Sliding closet door off track — Los Angeles, California
Sliding closet doors — whether bypass, bifold, or pocket style — commonly jump off their tracks. Bypass doors ride on a top or bottom rail and pop out when rollers wear out, the track bends, or the door catches on carpet. Bifold doors pivot on a top pin and bottom bracket; they derail when the top guide breaks, the bottom pivot shifts, or hinge pins strip. Pocket doors slide into the wall and jam when the trolley rollers fail or the track inside the wall warps. A handyman can realign the door, replace worn rollers or guide pins, straighten or replace bent track, and adjust the door height so it clears the floor without dragging.
