Hello,
I want to install MDF sliding doors (non-mirrored) in my master bedroom closet. Currently, there are no doors, but there is an upper track (see attached photo) which doesn't appear to be designed for a hanging roller mechanism. Your bottom-mount roller mechanisms for mirrored wardrobe doors are along the lines of what I'm looking for. Can you recommend a specific product for my application?
Thank you,
Richard B

The top rollers for mirror doors are really more like guides. They don't support any weight; mirror doors are way too heavy to have their weight supported from the top. Those rollers would rip right out. Instead, mirror doors are supported by the bottom rollers/glides. Top guides like our 23-222C merely keep the door straight and steady in the track. |

Our 23-222C could theoretically be used with other kinds of doors, as they have the ability to be screwed on, but they will still require matching bottom rollers and a bottom track. You cannot use your existing track to hang doors, if that's what you were looking to do. |

That's a little harder to say. There technically isn't any such thing as a standard door. Most manufacturers use different hardware from door to door and there's no predicting what they once used without the original parts as reference. I mentioned that you could have had our 23-222C top roller based on the design of your top track. The problem is that this top roller has been known to work with the 23-041 bottom roller, but I've also seen it used with the 23-028, 23-225, and others. You can check out our entire selection of mirror closet door rollers here. As you can see, there are a ton of bottom rollers. One major detail to keep in mind is whether you need a roller with a concave or convex wheel. If you had your old bottom track, I could perhaps narrow it down a little further, but there's still no guarantee I'd be right. Ultimately, without any of the original hardware to use as a reference, the best I can do is guess. I'm sorry I cannot offer a more confident recommendation. |
