HELP. Trying to remove closet doors. Cannot figure it out

[king2005]

:confused: :confused:

I have tried brute strength, looking for a lock of some sort, & hoping it would just fall off on its own (still waiting lol)...

Its a cheap wooden sliding door(2 doors, one behind the other). I was able to get the bottom wheels off the track, but the top ones don't lift off. They are stuck in the track. I tried to unscrew the only screw/bolt I can see (its quite long), but it shifted & I cannot get it all the way out... :confused:

Is there a trick to this or something??

I would LOVE to get them off tonight, so I can finish up my room...

Thanks in advance

I have the same doors (sounds like it) and so have been messing with them here. I finally asked hubby how he does it. He showed me that he does it by pushing UP on the door to lift the wheel out of the track and then tipping the door in or out. Also, mine have the wheel bracket screwed on at the inner top of the doors and hubby says that loosening the screws is another way to remove them if the doors are too high to the ceiling to be able to push up.

Good luck :)
