Fix Sliding Door - Forestville

Sliding doors commonly have roller problems which prevent them moving smoothly and sometimes they jam or stick in places.  The cavity slider is fully within the wall so you cannot get to the mechanism when jammed open.  Handy Work has mostly been able to reinstate these doors and adjust things so they slide smoothly again.

This door in a Northern Beaches home was off its track and the pelmet pieces were non-existent, so Handy Work made new pelmets which can be removed if necessary to adjust or tighten the rollers, if ever needed in the future.
