Question:

I am having problems with my closet doors. They are brown imitation wood finish and mounted on rollers which slide on metal tracks on the floor and ceiling. One door is completely out of the tracks secured only at the top. How can I adjust them to stay in the floor track?
Also, I have the same doors in my bedroom where the carpeting has raised the track slightly making it difficult to close the middle door. When I close the door it scraps on the metal track on the floor. It does not slide easily like I think it should.

Answer:

Under each of the rollers (at the top of the frame) there is a hole and you insert a philips (star) screwdriver in there to adjust the scew you'll find. With this screw you'll be able to adjust the roller to go up or down. The floor plate just has to be better attached to the floor with screws - the holes are already there for them.
