Product:
The Glide Right repair bracket is designed to eliminate the necessity to replace damaged bifold interior closet doors. The bracket is machined from 20 gauge zinc alloy to withstand pressure from the pivot or guide pins if the door is improperly opened.
Function:
Function
of the Glide Right bracket is to eliminate bifold closet doors from coming
off the track. This most commonly occurs when there has been ir-repairable
damage to the closet door from improper use during the opening and
closing process.
The most common cause of damage to the wood inner frame of a bifold closet door is to bore a hole for the pivot or guide pin. The hole becomes oversized and the pivot or guide pins tilt as pressure is applied when opening the door improperly. Continued improper use during the opening process will eventually result in the pivot or guide pin tilting in the bore hole and splitting the wood on the inner frame.
There are only two solutions or repairs for this type of damage. The door must be removed from the track, transported off-site, and the Masonite covering must be separated from the wood frame and a new piece of framing must be reinstalled in the bifold door and the Masonite must then be re-glued to the new piece of inner frame material. Once this has been completed, a new bore hold must be drilled and a new pivot or guide pin inserted into the bore hole. This type of repair requires approximately twenty-four (24) hours to complete, taking into consideration the drying time of the glue. Then the door must be transported back to the unit to be re-installed. The other option is to replace the bifold closet door with a new product at the cost of thirty-eight ($38) to two hundred dollars ($200).
Versatility
The
Glide Right repair part is versatile in as much as it can be
used on any inside corner of a bifold door to repair either the bottom
adjuster pin, the top stabilizing pin or the guide pin, which guides the
bifold door along the upper track. Since this is a one-piece part, one piece can be utilized for three
different types of repairs.
The Glide Right repair part has been designed for either one and three eights inch or one and one eight inch doors to accommodate many guide pin styles.
Installation
There is no need to remove the closet door from a unit, it can be expeditiously repaired on-site. Installation of the Glide Right repair bracket is a non-technical skill and can be performed by anyone who can use a Phillips screwdriver. Once the bracket has been properly seated on the inside corner of the bifold closet door, it is as simple as inserting four mounting screws and reinserting the guide pin through the bracket.
