Sliding mirror wardrobes

I have two sets both fall of the tracks. Any ideas if they are fixable? Been quoted £500 each for whole new doors and tracks think that seems very high.

Good photos of tracks and the rollers?

First you need to understand WHY they fall.

Here’s a few photos

Yes easily fixed, lower the bottom wheel set - there are screws on the inside of he door on the top of each runner - turn clockwise to lower the runner a couple of turns each one.

(The doors look like Acmetrack or Stanley Acmetrack to me) sold in DIY stores for years.

Our have done that ,the bottom is located by a sliding plastic guide and the top by a adjustable roller ,the adjustment is just done with a screwdriver and when set cures the problem.

Thanks i couldn’t really get to the screws at bottom. Ones at top I tried but couldn’t get much a turn on it seemed quite lose. Not sure if I need to be tightening it or making it more loose? Is it just the top ones needing a turn?

Mr.Generous

You need to raise the door by lowering the bottom runners. Buy a long handle screwdriver for a couple of ££ if needed. probably a PZ2 head.

I tried turning it both ways and cleaned dust in tracks door still falls off and doesn’t seem very well fitted and won’t move freely?

Also only screws in top couldn’t see any in bottom expect tracks

I don't see a photo of the rollers.
And if the door doesn't move freely, if fitted correctly, this can mean that the rollers possibly stopped rolling at some point, slide instead of rolling, are worn by friction and need replacing.

Thanks so I could need new doors I guess that would solve the issue? I have been told there’s doors you can get that don’t fall off these days? Just it may be £500 each one to redo. I can try get a photo of the roller.
