I have had a sliding door problem for over 10 years, in fact I just left the rear door off the track and worked around it. After watching your video today I determined to give it one more chance. I realized I had installed, about a decade ago, two sets of rear rollers which caused both door to collide and run one or other of the doors to derail. Your caveat of which rollers go on which door made all the difference. Went down to my local hardware store, picked up a new set of rollers, had them installed in less than an hour and my WIFE is DELIGHTED!!! The doors now, for the first time in years, are fixed and rolling properly. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
hey bill! thats awesome... that kind of stuff sure ups our approval rating with the wives..love this..thank you for sharing!
The crowd screams... DUS-TIN, DUS-TIN, DUS-TIN.... LOL. thank you. Very easy to follow along.
Awesome comment my friend. It’s getting the heart. Thanks so much for sharing
I watched 3 other RUclips videos on the same subject and yours was without doubt the best.
Barrett Chapin awesome Barrett! Thanks for sharing and glad we could help!
I absolutely agree. Now I can possibly put those doors back on track👍
My doors have been off track going on SEVEN years😣. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for this video!
Two things most folks don't know about these doors: the tilt-to-remove and the roller-offset, the latter of which I was not aware of. You kept me from placing my fist thru my door! Thanks!
so awesome captain! so glad i could help! thanks for sharing!
saved me a load of trouble thanks for the video and for keeping it short and detailed
awesome thank you!
You have the absolutely best style if diy explanation. I wish more would follow your example, short, very informative on the pertinent information, sweet and to the point!
hi runski, thanks for the compliments, unfortunately if more people used this style, i would lose my unique status! thanks so much for sharing
Thanks- you gave me the answer I needed, and less that a minute in. 45 degree angle! Less than that and the door does not come off.
Thank you!
So awesome Bonnie Lee thanks for giving me that minute I appreciate the comment
Exactly what I was looking for, quick, well edited, easy. Thank you!
thank you creativity! thanks for commenting!
Thanks so much for your video! I just repaint and install the same doors as you shown. Hope more and more people will succeed on it by your videos!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Alan… This awesome comment is getting the heart my friend. I appreciate you watching.
@@homemendWoo, thanks for your reply! Good luck sir!
Thank you so much 😭 much sweat and tears were shed trying to get these doors back on my closet
You nailed it!
You saved my bacon with step one. Hold the door at an angle so the wheel can fall into (or out of) the track. Thank you, sir!
You are awesome thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I didn't know that they had two different rollers. That fixes it perfectly
This is awesome Rodrigo. Thank you so much!
Dustin - it took me about 20 seconds to remove those doors, thanks to you. I was trying to unscrew the hardware to no avail and found your post. Thank you!
no problem my friend. glad i could help. thanks for watching!
I watched many other vids and urs is the most useful
That is awesome brother thanks so much Clee!
I did it! I can't even change a lightbulb without breaking things. Whooo HOOO! Thank you!!!
so awesome marc! thank you for sharing!!!
Short, detailed and right to the point. Thanks for the post, saved me a lot of time trying to figure out the easiest way putting the door back on the came off the track
Raymond Dion awesome Raymond! So glad we could help!
Thank you so much!! I have been wanting to put my closet doors back on for so long, but I didn’t know how. But, because of you my room now feels complete.
awesome fish! happy to help... thanks for sharing!
JUSTIN - For the LIFE of me I could not figure out WHY the doors kept scratching up against each other.....then, I saw your video and found out there are TWO DIFFERENT offset rollers! Made the changes and now they run smoothly on the track...….Lesson learned!
awesome john! thanks so much for sharing!
Dude! Please don't ask how the door came off the track.... However, after scratching my head (among other things) I did a search and lucked out big time finding your site. Clear, Concise, Spot On! Those are scarce commodities these days and you are to be commended twice over for not succumbing to the verbosity of other "handymen" on the net. Thank You!
hearting this comment! thanks so much john!
I'm not sure about yours, but mine come off the tracks because they needed to be tightened. If the wheels adjust and they aren't tight enough, you can lift the door just enough to get one of the wheels off the track. Tightening the adjustment screws can be an option for some designs.
Holy crap, man. You're a life saver. Can't believe I never noticed the different sized brackets.
Time to hang 8 doors!
you got this General! thanks for sharing man!
All I needed to see was how to hang them once it's all assembled. Couldn't get it to work until your "20-30 degree angle" tip. Thanks!
Keenan Meadows awesome keenan! So glad it helped you. Thanks for sharing!
Another quick and easy fix thanks to you. Thanks man!
You are awesome Jose. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,...had our hardware on wrong. You showed proper way. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you Vic I’m picking up on your appreciation :-) thank you so much for sharing
DOPE! This was my first choice! Only because of ur thumbnail. I had a problem with my doors touching and the one behind falling off the track. Thnx Playa!
Post Script, Share this video with my boss.
Awesome scg. Happy to help my friend. Thank you!
Thank you buddy! I’m about to tackle this project this weekend. Keep these videos coming, much appreciated.
yes sir desi! thanks for sharing!
Yay! Your tilt 20-30 degree click and drop worked for me. My closet doors fell off their tracks and I've been trying every which way to fix them.
awesome jennie! thanks so much for sharing!
I subscribed to your channel because you've helped me in the past, and now you've helped me with my closet doors.

you're so awesome teri! So happy to have you on the team and thanks so much for commenting!
You just saved my sanity... thank you!
awesome.. thanks Rebecca!
I didn’t even check the top of the wheels to see how much they go in. Thank you 🙏
You got it José. Thanks for sharing
Great, thank you! Watched your video and it hit me like a ton of bricks...I had mismatched hanger-hardware - flush and offset. Now? Problem resolved. Sure appreciate how easy and informative your video was. Thank you Justin.
David Ryan so awesome David ! Stories like yours is why I set up a camera! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks man. Seeing that one wheel mount set is wider for the back door made it work. God bless

Thank you child!
Man, this was great!!! Thanks so much Dustin!
Thank you jay. You’re awesome friend.
Great video as I was prepared for cutting the door length and replacing the bottom wood strip. Thanks!
David Acklin awesome David! So glad it helped you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, sir! I couldn't figure out you have to angle the doors towards yourself to get them to hang properly.
Nootch so awesome! That’s the tricky part. So glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy your new doors!
Thank you so much you save me so much time I spent 2 1/2 hours trying to get the stupid door up and when I was watching your video you said that the hangers are different why ended up switching up the hangers that’s how come it wouldn’t lineup thanks so much you get 20 thumbs up by now
awesome! 20 thumbs ups? so glad i could help and thanks for the comment!
I literally sweated off every single Corona-Quarantine snack calorie while trying to get my closet doors back on today. I tried and tried and started hearing things that sounds like they were going to break. THEN RUclips came to the rescue and before I even finished watching your video my doors were back up. THANK YOU. #ANGLEISEVERYTHING
so awesome ivy..! thank you!
This video saved my life. Thank you for making this.
Wow rz. That’s a huge compliment. Life saving. Nice! So happy to help 😀
@@homemend LOL! Exaggerating a little, but your video was so to the point with great info. Really helped me. Appreciate it.
Appreciate you sharing friend.
You made it so easy. Good work!!
thank you AB! Appreciate you sharing!
Hi Dustin;
Really good explanation thanks for posting that. You could add a bit on the end about how to adjust the doors for out-of-plumb frames. (adjustment screws on the roller brackets, and on some kits the bottom rollers have adjustments as well..)
hey ernie. Great comments and suggestions! thanks for watching!
Thank you! Just saved us hours of frustration!
Kat Maheu awesome Kat! Thanks for commenting!!!
Dude!! Thank you!!!!!!!!! I have been cussing at the doors for a year now.
awesome VR! glad it helped!
An analytical mind should be able to do this w/out a demonstration. However, it is extremely helpful to see someone else do it and then duplicate it. A lot more here than I was looking for that will be useful information to share with others someday. As I am often asked how to do things. Thanks! :)
W W no problem ww! So happy to do it. Glad it helped you and thanks for sharing!
Great video. Even Diagnosed a issue off this, Thanks a ton.
yes sir.. thank you!
Great video. Short and sweet!
thanks for commenting!
Great demo. I will be doing this in a couple of days.
you got this stan! thanks for watching!
Hi, after taking my doors off, im trying to put my doors back up but due to the guide track on the bottom I can't get it in there. Any help please, thanks!
hey fajr, try removing it and reinstalling after you hang your doors. Hope this helps. thanks for watching!
Do you have a video explaining how to get the rollers on the top side of the sliding closet doors to stay in the track? Our rollers are not wanting to stay in place. Not sure if the track groove has been widened or what.
Hey Melissa excellent question. Try replacing the track. You got this
I just fixed my door thank you 😊
Grace D so awesome grace! Thanks for sharing!
Dustin,So glad I saw this video. I didn't even notice that the hardware that attaches to the top of each door was different!,Can you confirm that the door that is furthest back is the one that used the deeper hardware?? In other words the door you would be hanging first. And the hardware that has more of a jog or angle? Thanks again. Lydia
hi lydia! im glad you saw it too! i can not confirm as i don't have any of those doors in my house.. i believe the ones that hang nearly straight down without the little z curve would hang to the back so those would be put in first, again I'm just guessing, but they can only hang one way, if you hang them wrong they will hit each other!lol thanks for watching
Im replacing rollers on old closet doors on a house i just bought one of the doors has 3/8 offset on it and the other door has 1/16 offest on it does that sound right each door has two on it but the same size on each door so one door has 2 of the 3!8 offset roller and the other door has two of the 1/16 offset roller
It’s easy when you know how! Thanks for watching
This was what I was looking for!! One of my doors the main one on the left got loose and it stuck out funny.
awesome Chem!
@@homemend so looks like everything is still intact. Do I need to replace the door or do I just have to take it out and put it back in? My closet needs a clean out.
you might be sble to move the bracket down a bit to secure it...
Thank you bro destroyed half my room with anger trying to fix this closet your video really helped
thank you paul! that darn angle thing is a bear...so glad it helped you! thanks for commenting!
Wow, you made this look simple! The epitome of efficiency and clarity in a DIY video. In other videos of this topic, the problem with the wheels was mentioned. They said that the wheels marked #1 go on the back door, the #2s on the front. You seem to be saying it doesn't matter as long as each door has a matching pair of wheels. Am I getting that right? Seems like it would make a difference which offset is used on which door to space the doors appropriately.
Gary Duncan hi Gary. Yes both same numbered wheels go on the same door however one set in the back one set in the front. The doors will hit each other if the doors aren't put o. The correct corresponding track.
Hello Home Mender. I don't find screws on my closet sliding track. Could they have installed it a different way? Like, hanging in a slot in the jam?
Hey exile wait a minute exiled hobbit. You are awesome sir I grew up on the cartoon hobbit and LoTR. It was life. If this is the case I would go in with a prybar and tear off whatever you see is the track then install your new one. You can shoot me a pic at thehomemender@gmail.com. And when your heart wants lifted, think pleasant thoughts 🗻🗻🗻
Thanks but i wish i could see up close bottom part and how or what you installed that holds top wheels
thanks
Hey misa. The wheel mounts are just placed on top and have little tabs that tell you where to place them. 🙂 I hope this helps!
nice and straight to the point. thanks
thanks for commenting!
Haha Dustin very funny and informative (thanks !)
Mark Womack thank you mark! So glad it helped you!! Appreciate the comment!
Much appreciated!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the advise.
thank you z!
Wow, I hope my doors come out as good as yours
They are going to be awesome Wanda thanks so much for commenting you got this
Where do I need to buy those rails or sliding kit hardware,that one works for cabinet doors 3/4 thickness?
Hey, are a N Try those barn style slider tracks. I think I saw them for around 30. I hope this helps.
Excellent!
Thank you sir
Awesome. Just awesome. Thanks for the video.
thank you mr vee! glad we could help!
Thanks for the video. I have two different closests that the doors keep coming off in our new home. However, our floors are all ceramic tile. How would you install the guide on the floor after I install new railing? They currently just don't have anything
hey rachel!...to install screws into tile, you would need a drill bit for ceramic.
nice job I ran into a job had old style hinges on them an they where not lined right Horizontal an doors was rubbing. I thought both handles face outside offset wheels come in 3/4 1/2 1/8 how you determine back sliding door offsets..
hi louis. if you buy the new track, it comes with the rollers you need for that track. (2) different sets. Just keep 2 of a kind on the same door and you got it!
I was skeptical at first but you brought me around dude! haha good job, easy to follow, little bit of humor and to the point! Can't beat that!! Stay cool!!
69adrummer so glad I could help 69! I got you man! Thanks so much for sharing.!
Thanks that was fun
so cool boots...im glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Thank you!
anytime friend
Thanks man!
Thank you Scott!
Can you install these doors before installing baseboard? I've heard it should be the other way around and install the baseboards first then notch out the closet doors, but I don't think I could do that as easily as I could place a piece of bb on either side of the doors. thoughts ?
hey barbara....baseboard after in my opinion...notching a door out around baseboard could be tacky..much easier to fit it in after..i hope this helps and thanks for commenting!
To take the old sliding doors off the track do u have to loosen thm up with a screw driver?
Dalton Newman hey dalton. This style here just swings forward and lifts.
You should mention there are two tracks! I cannot get one wheel to snap on. What should I do?
Hey gizmo, sometimes we need to replace the wheels or we need to replace the track. You’ve got this.
Thanks! What is the proper way to open the sliding door? Does the back door open from the left side and the front one from the right? Can you help me out here?
hi claudia...either one is correct..
@@homemend Thanks man! Now I have to figure out how my mom broke her door than, lol
Do I have to replace the track? One of the doors lost 1 of it's wheels. I replaced hardware on both left and right, but I just can't get it to hang on the track, though it seems to be perfectly fine and not damaged. Also, I don't have power tools, so challenged in every way. T.I.A.
ah claudia! yes typically the new hardware works better for with a new track. they usually come in the whole kit. about 15 bucks for the set.. hope this helps!
What about the 7/8 plastic wheel on my Primeline N7536 (N 6649 has two 3/8" offset) with two 3/8" offset and two 1/8" offset? Using the 7/8 is too large as the original must be about 3/4 or wore down over time and the do not sell a 3/4. So change the style from 3/8 with adjusting wheel to 3/4 with fixed bracket?
Hey doriano. Matching can be difficult. Buying the whole kit is usually the way to go. New track and new rollers.
@@homemend Thanks so much for the quick reply! Fortunately this conceals the water heater and gas furnace so we never move them and leave them overlapping to provide ventilation for the furnace.
Thank you.
Thank you blue!!
Thanks a bunch. I see the cheap rubber or plastic guides on the floor can be a problem if worn. Any idea on price ?
thank you alex!. not sure I've seen the rubber but the plastic shouldnt be more than a few dollars. thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this! Do you know the weight limit for a door using this hardware? I'm finding different answers on different sites. Thanks!!
hi paul, not saure that it matters! this would support a solid wood door as well as the common hollow core. I hope this helps..
Nice! Thank you for your expertise.
thank you ryan!
😆 THANK YOU!
thank you !
My tracks are nailed in. What’s the best way to pry them off?
hey pale..just a flat bar would probably work the best. :)
Thanks a lot
Thank you razor Ramon!
Thanks man would give 20 likes if I could
And 20 Thank yous Kevin!!
what did you use to cut the door to appropriate height? thank you!
Hi Megan. This was cut with a circular saw.
@@homemend Thank you so much !
Is the floor tile or vinyl?
hey chiva! in this video? hardwood.
Notice doors are hitting on an old installation. Hardware looks to be on correctly and track seems to be oriented correctly as well. Only thing I can figure out is that that tracking seems too narrow for the width of the doors. Or am I missing something here?
Hey Bob. If everything is looks good I would check to make sure that the front door is on the front track and the rear door on the rear track. If you still can’t make it work right a replacement track and hardware kit is about 15 bucks. I hope this helps
@@homemend thanks. I think I'm going to get a new kit. Door thickness is 1 inch and 3/8. Which seems to be the maximum thickness allowable for these standard kits to work,so maybe something is askew
This was SO helpful. Thanks 👍💪👍
you are awesome ima ! thanks for watching!
nice job--and you look like sammy hagar
thank you tim! and thank you? lol he was cool there for a while.
At first glance I thought this was Apolo Anton Ohno lol.

YOSEMITE BLAAM thank you Yosemite! Enjoy your sliders!
Hey please help, I am trying to install track top one only it’s a truporte door sliding doors, they don’t even give clear instructions, and top track isn’t going in I mean the screws aren’t going in maybe it has studs? How do I install it then? It’s standard size ahoe closet so idk
Hello if you’re having trouble with screws going in you can pre-drill or use self tapping screws. Sometimes in headers they have drywall corners or some other kind of metal. I hope this helps. You got this
@@homemend and also I can’t figure out which way track should be placed so that track to slide doors in should be inside or in backside , thank You for all the help I m stuck
The hooked tracks usually hook towards the inside
Thanx man you’re awesome!
thank you clinton!
Very helpful!
thank you funky57! enjoy your now operating slider doors! thanks for commenting!
