The Tricky Fix: How Pocket Door Roller Replacement Works

A technician checking a door's alignment, which is crucial for 'pocket door repair' in West Palm Beach.

A pocket door—a door that slides disappears into the wall—is a fantastic space saver. But when it gets stuck or falls off its track, it's one of the most dreaded home repairs. Many people in West Palm Beach assume they'll have to cut open the drywall. But a professional 'pocket door repair' is much more surgical than that.

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.
