Often the owners of the wardrobes are faced with problems of unbalanced doors, a loose adjoining or its departure from rails or guides. All this is easy to adjust with your own hands, not spending time and money to pay the work of the master.
How to adjust the doors?
Consider the most common problems requiring adjustment.
The door is loosely adjacent to the wall, departs from her
Often this happens due to damage, displacement or lack of a so-called stopper. It is a thin double metal plate, the upper part of which is divided by half and the ends slightly bent up as in the photo. This part is set to the middle of the bottom of the groove, which holds the door.
- For work with a stopper, you will have to remove it - otherwise it is not to get it.
- When restoring the location, replacement and installation in the absence of this important detail, it is enough to fix it in the right place with the help of reliable glue, more often use superciles.
How to remove the cabinet door
Consider the features of the analysis of several models options: economy class, the average price category and expensive models. Most of the doors of such cabinets are usually located in the average price category, the sides have stoppers that limit movement. Before working, we find them on each door that requires replacement or removal.
- We unscrew the upper and lower stoppers.
- We put a screwdriver toward, it will not need us yet. Doors close and approach the one you want to remove.
- Holding over the side, one of its top edge is lifted up, and the bottom with a screwdriver is removed from the groove and sneeze.
- Gradually, easily sipping, free from the groove all the lower side and put it on the floor, releaseing this upper edge.
- Give up the top edge from the groove and remove everything the cloth.
- Economy models are rarely supplied with stoppers: as a rule, the rollers simply go through the guides that move the motion limiters on the sides. Therefore, in such models, it is enough with a screwdriver to remove the limiters and run the door from the rails.
- Very expensive models are equipped with closers, so before taking on the main job, unscrew the conclusion mechanism on the one hand, leaving it to stay on the wall or ceiling of the cabinet. This will save time on collecting the entire design after completing repair work.
- Be careful when working with mirrors and in no case do not hold a screwdriver in your hands or teeth so as not to be hurt yourself, do not cause damage to the mirrors and do not leave scratches on the surface of furniture.

The door has gone from the guides, rail
This is quite frequent phenomenon. To eliminate trouble, slightly lift the cloth and start the roller in the groove, lower the door.
As the prevention of further removal from the guide doors, perform a revision of stored things, remove those concerning it, interfere with opening and closing. Do not use too much strength to move it off.
The door leaves the wall of the wardrobe on top or bottom
How to be if one of the ends of the door flies closely to the wall of the cabinet? In this case, you need to adjust the tension of one of the furniture bolts that the door is bonded.
- To eliminate the skew, we find on the aluminum frame of the door two holes. Please note that they can be hidden by furniture scotch.
- We need a hole that is closer to the lower edge of the door. There is hidden hex screw regulating its position. The second screw is responsible for fastening the door frame.
- Using a furniture key or hex screwdriver, you begin to adjust the position: if the upper edge departs, we gradually turn the screw against the movement of the clockwise, if the bottom is in the course of the clockwise movement. In our eyes, the skew disappears, the clearance comes down.
Crossing when moving the door
This is due to the weakening of one of the top rollers of the wardrobe. It is necessary to remove the door, adjust the roller or compress the profile knob from above, which will allow you to achieve the same sweep on both sides.
The door of the wardrobe ceased to move smoothly, heates
Adjust it easily. There may be several reasons here:
- Dirt stuck in the guide or roller wound on his threads, hair and dust, so it is hard to ride it.
- It may break, deform or lose the support on the edge with long-term operation. It is more often found in economy-class products with an aluminum profile.
- Adjust the closet roller can be independently. It is enough to unwind the hexagon screw under the brush at the bottom of the door, get the roller, inspect and troubleshoot.
