A Pocket Door Wrench That MAY Work For You: amzlink.to/az0YorQyJplq9
A lot of pocket doors have random size nuts! The best bet is to always look around your house and see if you can find the wrench that came with the door initially. Often times carpenters will put them in a kitchen drawer.

I'm sure I've said this several times before, but you have a remarkable ability to make perfect-duration videos that contain all the needed info and almost nothing else.

Thanks buddy, it’s a very fine balance not to cut out too much info that could be useful! I spend a lot of time agonizing over it, so I appreciate the comment🍻

That was good to see how pocket doors are adjusted. I know pocket doors are needed in some instances, but they suck. 😂

This is exactly the kind of project that makes me insane. It'll take me 5 minutes to get the wrench on the bolt and I'll get one quarter of a turn and then I'm back to another 5 minutes of hunt and poke. My wife will wander into the room and ask enough irritating questions that I'll eventually fling the wrench into the corner of the room and then have to spend the next 10 minutes trying to find it while mumbling obscenities under my breath while my wife berates me for my temper. 😂😂😂

Getting that wrench on the nut is one of the most infuriating things in life!

Thank you! I needed to take down my doors and I’d never heard of a pocket door wrench! I tried an arsenal of other tools and none would do it. I took to google and KZfaq and you saved the day! I got one at Menards and quickly finished the job! Thank you!!!

Took care of some caulking this week which, every winter, shrinks (It's in the kitchen and on an outside wall) and looks bad. I used all your tips for removing the old caulk, made sure to use Dynaflex 230 and did a nice, neat job. So many tips I've learned from you, despite my many years of DIY experience. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks. Thanks for the great content and please keep it coming.

The geniuses who installed my pocket doors installed the track so high up into the cavity that you cannot access the brackets or rollers without taking much of the door trim off. They also installed doors that are way too big, both in height and width.

@markhenry6486 Ай бұрын

I'm going to stretch here and take a guess that it's you who doesn't know how to do this operation, nothing to do with it being installed incorrectly. Just my bet . It's really neat knowing how to get these doors out when there's no room, and to do it without damaging much more than one piece, at the most two pieces of the top trim on one side only. This includes replacing the entire track if necessary without touching the wall where the door hides inside of

Right on bro, this was just what I needed to get the job done. I was lucky, mine was easier. The entire strip and the top molding piece are all one piece and it's just held in by 2 screws. On this unit, there is also a little plastic lock that snaps the bolt in place after you hook it into the top mount. Much appreciated, my brother, God bless. ~ Pastor Nick702, Blessed Road Ministry

Fantastic video. After working on these for years I'm convinced it's one of Satan's finest designs. I also love that prybar, I saw it on your link so I'm gonna order that because the one I have is a little too aggressive for trim. Thanks!

I can see that you know what you're doing which is unlike most of the other videos with similar goals. Here's a test, just for fun. Do you know how to remove and replace the track without taking anything more off than you might take off to remove the door?
