There may be door aligners at the center where the two doors meet and, a spring bumper at the center track that absorbs the closing. To adjust the vertical position on the doors, it is done by a combination of two ways: At the bottom pivot; this is done by opening a half set of doors. Lift the pivot door slightly at the outer base and move the bottom position in its bracket - in the direction of the center or toward the wall. Note that some of the lower pivot brackets have clip-ring inserts used for adjusting - if your brackets have these be careful,

the plastic clips break off. Also, if central aligners are being installed, these should be put on last - after the doors are To adjust the top pivot as needed, tape measure how much distance the door should be shifted from below. Untighten the top pivot screw and slide the pivot bracket into position, level with the pivot below, steadying the door and this may take a secondOnce into position, re-tighen the screw. Also, when working on the interior section, a flashlight may be needed for finding the If you need more access to the upper bracket, depending on your design, you might have to remove the whole double door section by depressing the upper pivot which is spring loaded, along with the accompanying roller. Transfer the lower door-edge to wall distance, to the top. As the door is adjusted, there must be a turning void at the door edge. The doors should have about the same distances for both outer door edges, left and right, and a small gap at the center, that does not not bind the two when closed.

To adjust the door height alone, with the doors already in level, simply raise or lower the doors at the lower pivots by rotating the adjusting nut(s). As the doors wear, and especially for masonite doors, some have a tendency to begin wobbling when they swing. If your doors are unstable at the pivot, and the brackets are secure, pull the door sections completely off and check the pivot mounts in the ends. Frequently this means replacing the doors, or, replacing the internal door plug(s). Then installing new pivots. To replace the door plug - typically the plug width is 1 1/8" which is not dimensional stock so this will have to be ripped. First remove the current plug (pull on pre-drilled screws). Then sand the inside surfaces, and apply wood glue before applying pressure with a pair of wood clamps. Wipe of the excess and let dry. Once cured, seal both top and bottom ends, and let dry. Drill and place new pivot barrels and reinstall the doors in position.

Note that most common replacement parts for bi-folds are available at local home centers, should any be failing or missing. However, make sure that any replacements will fit in with your basic hardware design, for example some bottom pivot brackets accept different pivot heads, newer pivot brackets probably have different hole placements, and all top pieces should slide on same dimension tracks.

Sliding-glass doors are a popular feature in rooms with decks or patios because their full-length glass panels open the room visually to the great outdoors while providing easy access to the outside. Interior sliding doors are frequently used for closets and pantries, and sometimes to conceal water heaters and furnaces.

You can remove sliding-door panels easily to gain complete access to what’s behind them. Follow simple repairs and maintenance procedures to keep your sliding doors on track. Patio doors slide horizontally — or at least they’re supposed to. All too often, these big, pesky contraptions stubbornly resist opening, and getting outside becomes about as easy as dragging a refrigerator through a sandbox. The most common cause of a sticking patio door is debris in the lower track. This channel easily becomes clogged with dirt and leaves because people and pets walk over it whenever they go in or out. Each time you vacuum your floors, use a small brush attachment or cordless vacuum to clean the sliding-door tracks. Apply a lubricant to both upper and lower tracks to keep the door hardware clean and operating freely. In addition to cleaning and lubricating sliding-door tracks, you want to lubricate the door lock. The best way to lubricate any lock is to disassemble it and use an aerosol lubricant to flush away grime and coat the moving parts of the lock.

Sometimes, patio doors become hard to open even when the track is clean. In these cases, the problem is usually that the rollers at the bottom of the door have started to rub against the track. The rollers at the top can also wear down, lowering the bottom of the door so that it rubs on the track. Most sliding doors have a mechanism called an adjusting screw located at the bottom of the door ends. Turning this screw raises or lowers the roller. Give the screw a clockwise turn and test to see whether the door slides easier. If the door becomes even harder to open, turn the screw in the opposite direction. After a bit of adjustment, the door should roll easily without rubbing on the bottom track. Sliding closet doors operate on rollers that are positioned in tracks at the top jamb and floor, allowing the doors to bypass each other in the tracks. Because sliding doors don’t fold out the way bifold doors do, they allow access to only half the width of the opening at a time.
