Sliding door

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by sharpey, Nov 25, 2012.

  1. Whats wrong with the middle hinge on my sliding door? Is there an adjustment I need to make to stop it scraping against the track cover? I can pull the door to give better clearance, it's as if something is loose maybe.

    Any advice greatly received! :)

    its spring loaded, which is what pulls the door away from the body as it opens, i think you will need to pull the hinge off to have a proper look, it could also be siezed up
     
  3. May be that the nylon slider block under the track cover has come adrift. Take the cover off and have a peek.
     
  4. Judging by your pictures you don't seem to have the spring attached to the u bit. It isn't there ?

    Where the silver u bit joins the door it goes through the two pieces with a gap. You can see the square bit in between. That is where your spring should be

  6. Thanks for this guys.

    Is it possible for someone to upload a photo with the spring in place?
