The Adjustable Pocket Door Guide Instructions

Thank you for choosing Niftyfixits - Your solution for sliding door noises

Materials Included:

  • 2mm Allen key to adjust set screws
  • (4) #8 x 1" slotted screws

Tools needed:

  • Pencil
  • 1/8" (~3.5mm) drill bit
  • Drill
  • Flat head/ slotted driver

Installation Steps:

    1. Ensure the slider and wedge are separated before installation.
    2. Measure your desired height from the floor on both sides of the door, and place a small mark
    3. Place the wedge into the door's pocket, aligning parallel to its motion, align to your marks in step 2, and mark the holes for drilling.
    4. Using a 1/8" drill bit, pre-drill all four holes to avoid splitting your trim.
    5. Secure the wedge brackets using two #8x1" screws per side (pre-drill to avoid trim splitting).
    6. Install the roller assembly onto the wedge bracket's dovetail on both sides.
    7. Slightly pull the door out, and adjust the slider towards the center where the rollers meet the door.
    8. While maintaining comfortable tension, tighten set screws with the provided 2mm Allen key.
    9. Avoid over-tightening; the set screws only need to secure the assembly in place.
