I have a sliding pocket door to a bathroom. It seems to be striking something inside the wall as it opens. It is possible to adjust or remove the pocket door?
The door hangs from a rail and appears to be a little crooked. I can see rollers on both sides of the rail, but I don't see any screws to loosen or tighten. Is there a trick to removing or adjusting a pocket door?
The home is ten years old, so it's a relatively new door.

yes, you can adjust them but it may take a while, you have to remove the door trim, there should be two adjustable screws on the top at least the one i fixed did, good luck

Its sounds like an hollow core door with metal style rollers. When the door was installed they were supose to have one side of the head trim removeable with ease. If you have door stoptry to remove that any swingthe door out and cut. If the door can not be removed with out major destruction a saw zal with a fine blade. There is an attachmet you can get to off set the blade of the ssaw zal for abot $50. I found mine in a HVAC supply haouse. It is used to make flush cuts, or use an 12" blade and flex it level.Use a 1x3 an place it on the floor as a guide and use the saw zal and cut the bottom of the door. When you get near the jam try to guide the blade of just get the jam and fill the cut mark in with filler

I don't know if all pocket door hardware is the same but the ones we had in our old home were able to be taken off of the track by lifting up the door off of the rail.
