Sliding wardrobes are a fantastic storage solution for any bedroom, providing a sleek and space-saving alternative to traditional hinged door wardrobes. However, over time, you may find that the doors start to misalign or not slide smoothly. Don’t worry, adjusting the doors of a sliding wardrobe is a relatively straightforward process that can be easily done with a few tools and a little patience. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps to adjust the doors of a sliding wardrobe.

What You Will Need

Before you begin, gather the following tools:

  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • Adjustable spanner

Step 1: Inspect the Tracks

The first thing you need to do is inspect the tracks on which the sliding doors glide. Check for any debris, dirt, or obstacles that may be obstructing the smooth movement of the doors. If you notice any buildup, use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to clean the tracks thoroughly.

Step 2: Adjust the Height

If the sliding doors are misaligned vertically, you will need to adjust the height of the doors. Locate the height-adjustment screws on the bottom edge of each door panel. Using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the screws clockwise to raise the door and counterclockwise to lower it. Take your time and make small adjustments until the doors are level and aligned properly.

Step 3: Check for Levelness

It’s essential to ensure that the sliding doors are level. Use a spirit level to check the horizontal alignment of the doors. If you find that one side is higher than the other, adjust the levelness by turning the height-adjustment screws on that side. Remember to make small adjustments and regularly check the levelness until both doors are perfectly level.

Step 4: Adjust the Sideways Movement

If the sliding doors are rubbing against each other or not sliding smoothly, you need to adjust the sideways movement. This is done by adjusting the rollers or the track stops. Locate the adjustment screws on the edge of the sliding panel near the bottom. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the screws clockwise to raise the door or counterclockwise to lower it. Make gradual adjustments until the doors glide smoothly without friction.

Step 5: Lubricate the Tracks

After making the necessary adjustments, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks to ensure smooth sliding movement. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt and debris, causing more issues in the long run. Apply a small amount of lubricant, spreading it evenly along the length of the tracks.

By following these simple steps, you can easily adjust the doors of your sliding wardrobe and restore their smooth operation. Remember to be patient and make small adjustments as needed. With a little effort, you can keep your sliding wardrobe functioning perfectly for years to come!
