Pocket door fasteners
« on: May 17, 2012, 03:09:00 AM »
 1999 40' 425 Thunder  I have a sliding pocket door that is located between kitchen (next to fridge) and bathroom (bathroom sink  & cabinets) areas. Three fasteners have fallen out. How do I get inside the pocket door slot to reattach the screws?  It's currently hanging by 1 fastener.

Boy, that's a tough one, Dan.  I can pretty much figure how to remove the door, but getting an arm into the slot to use a tool on the hanger channel looks impossible.  You may have to remove adjacent panels in the bathroom or in any cabinets over the fridge to gain sufficient access, and that wouldn't be easy.

We had the same problem in a 1990 Marquis. I used a right angle drive with long drive shafts to remove the old hangers and reattach the new hangers.
