Types of Wardrobe and Closet Doors


Wardrobe Sliding Door Repairs

Sliding doors for wardrobes and closets come in a multitude of designs. One of the most common types of wardrobe sliding doors has ball-bearing rollers that reduce noise when opening and closing the door. The ball bearing rollers muffles the sound for a super quiet and smooth operation.


Wood, tempered glass and mirrored sliding doors are very popular materials for wardrobes and closets.


Wood sliding doors for closets are modern, beautiful and very on-trend. They look amazing with white or neutral walls, and the natural material provides an earthy, grounded feel to any space.


Glass sliding doors that are frosted or opaque are excellent for wardrobes and closets. We recommend using durable tempered glass that is designed to last for many years. Tempered glass also reduces the risk of broken glass especially for families with children.


Mirrored sliding doors are not just aesthetic. They create the illusion of a larger and open space—perfect if you live in a small apartment.


Sliding Wardrobe Door Repair: Common Issues


Sliding wardrobe doors can break down or malfunction after years of use. Newly installed doors that get stuck are often caused by accumulated dirt on the tracks, use of excessive force or poor construction.


Dirt and debris.


Dirt buildup can lead to a stuck sliding door. If your door is stuck, look at the bottom part of the door and inspect the rollers for dirt and damage. Rollers are small moving parts that allow the door to slide easily along the track. Remove visible dirt from the track and vacuum the rest of the debris. Clean the rollers thoroughly with an alcohol-based cleaner and use silicone spray to lubricate.


Mirrors have fallen off.


Mirrors can be easy or difficult to repair depending on your experience with tools. If the frame is intact, it’s just a matter of re-attaching the glass or mirror and sealing it in place. This is best left to professionals if you are not very handy with tools, because it can take a lot of time and patience to get it fixed properly.


Misaligned or bent/broken wheels.


For a smooth operation, the wheels or rollers at the bottom of sliding doors must be properly aligned along the track. Wheels can get out of alignment if you use excessive force to move the door, causing the screws that hold the wheels in place to fall out or become loose.


Missing or damaged screws, rollers and other hardware.


Rollers can get bent, tracks can be damaged and screws can disappear. Replacing the missing or damaged parts may require removing the sliding doors from the frame. If you don’t have the time or patience for the task, a professional can help.


Bent frames.


Poor-quality aluminum wardrobe door frames can get easily bent and damaged, causing the rollers to malfunction and the door to get stuck. If this happens, you can try to straighten the frame or replace it completely with a higher-quality substitute. Installing high-quality new parts is recommended to prevent the same thing from happening again.
