Century-old home with pocket doors that have not worked for some time -- one door is manageable, the other is off the rail (and the rail seems to be bent, likely because the screws holding it in place are coming out of the wall. You can see what I mean in these pictures.The rail extends a solid 2 feet beyond the width of the doorway, maybe even further, so even I remove the trim and the header across the doorway, I don't think I will have access to the furthest screws holding the rail in place. So, is my only option to go through the wall in order to assess and fix the rail and/or replace the hardware?I have searched YouTube and the net, and most content seems to be about fixing doors not as old, large and heavy as these (they are solid oak or gum wood or some such -- and the the doorway is 60" or so), nor with such a long rail -- or, they talk about installing pocket doors. I have found some people online in other areas who service pocket doors, but no one in my area seems to have expertise with it. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2CBSs0q
