Pocket door help....

[cdlaine]

What you are looking at is the top rail for the pocket door on my 5th wheel. The door separates the bedroom from the main living area. (door is removed in photo). Look closely and you will see the most distal screw has worked loose thus blocking the door from opening all the way. (also , the very next proximal screw is awol). So , my query, ... the distal screw (Phillips) is farther back than the length of my arm, and, my beefy Python will not fit in the space allotted (one would have to
be anorexic).

How do I tighten/replace these screws ??? (there is no lateral access).

What tool /extension combo is needed ?

Thank you,

Charles

drill a 2 inch hole in the cabinet at the back and use a 90 screwdriver rhen put a hole plug in the hole like for a sink.hole filler

Interesting "combination" on the closest screw in the photo.

Is that intended to be a stop for the door to keep it from coming
out of the track.....and maybe the rear one also?
(but that one appears *not* to have a stop/spacer nut)

Do you think the "awol" screws were ever there?

Easy (?) solution - call mfgrs Tech Line, ask them.
