The Tricky Fix: How Pocket Door Roller Replacement Works

The Problem: The Door is Inside the Wall

The entire sliding mechanism, the track and the rollers, are hidden inside the wall cavity. The most common problem is that the door's hangers (the rollers) have broken or skipped off the track, causing the door to be stuck or sag and scrape the floor.

The 'No-Cut' Solution: A Professional Pocket Door Repair

This is not a DIY job. A specialist has thin, specialized tools to work within the tiny gap at the top of the door. We can 'fish' the door out, re-hang it, and replace the rollers, all by working through the existing opening. In 90% of cases, no drywall needs to be cut.

When Do You Need to Cut the Wall?

The only time we need to cut drywall is if the track *itself* is severely damaged, bent, or has come loose from the studs. In this case, a small section of drywall must be removed to replace the track. This is rare; the problem is almost always the rollers.
