Closet & Bi-Fold Door Repair in Toronto (2026)

A bi-fold door hangs on a top pivot and a bottom pivot, with a guide pin running in a track across the top. A sliding closet door rides on small rollers, either hanging from a top track or sitting on a bottom one. A pocket door hangs from rollers on a track hidden inside the wall. In each case, a few small plastic or light metal parts carry the whole weight of the door.

Those parts wear, crack and loosen. A pivot bracket shifts a few millimetres and the door starts hitting its neighbour. A roller flattens and the door drags on the carpet. A guide pin snaps and the door swings out of the track. Our customers describe it the same way every time: "The bi-fold keeps popping off the track," "The closet door came off and I can't get it back on," "Another contractor said I need new doors."

In most cases the doors are fine. They need the right brackets, pins or rollers and a proper adjustment. It is also common in condos for washer and dryer installs, new flooring or renovations to leave closet doors that no longer fit. Those are fixable too, usually by moving or re-leveling the track.

We treat closet doors like any other door: fix what is broken and tell you the truth about what isn't. The same principle runs through our residential door repair work. If you want new doors, we can do that too, and we cover installation on our interior sliding door page.

Many Toronto condos were finished with the same builder-grade mirror closets and bi-folds. After a few years, the rollers and plastic brackets wear out across the building, and a lot of owners call with the same problem. Mirror sliding doors are heavy and need two people or proper handling to remove safely.

Condos also change inside: a stacked washer and dryer that sticks out further than the old one, new flooring that raises the floor, or a closet converted to storage. In each case the track may need to be moved or the doors adjusted. A typical call: new machines are deeper than the old ones, and the closet doors have to be re-hung on a moved track. That's a normal job for us.

Let your building management know when we're coming, so we can get parking and elevator access. For other condo door work, see condo door replacement rules and our balcony sliding door repair.

Bi-fold doors

Two or four hinged panels that fold as they open. The panel next to the jamb turns on a top pivot and a bottom pivot, both held in brackets. The outer panel carries a guide pin or roller that runs in the top track. When a bi-fold misbehaves, it is almost always one of three parts: the top pivot bracket slipping, the bottom pivot moving in its bracket, or the guide pin wearing out. Each costs little, but each has to be set correctly or the door keeps falling out.

Bypass sliding doors

Two or three panels that slide past each other on a double track. Most hang from rollers in a top track, with a small floor guide at the bottom to stop them swinging. When the rollers wear, the doors drop and drag. When the floor guide breaks, the doors swing and jump the track. Heavy mirror bypass doors, common in Toronto condos built in the 2000s, wear their rollers out fastest.

Bottom-rolling mirror doors

Some mirror doors roll on wheels in a bottom track and use the top track only as a guide. Dirt in the bottom track is their enemy. A single screw or a bit of grit can stop the door or lift it out of the track.

Pocket doors

A pocket door slides into a cavity in the wall on a hidden overhead track. Repairs usually mean lifting the door off its rollers and working through the opening. We cover these in detail on our pocket door repair page.

Barn doors and interior sliders

Surface-mounted barn doors hang on exposed rollers. They're sturdy, but the wall anchoring matters. A barn door track screwed only into drywall will eventually pull out. See interior sliding door repair.

If none of that works, or the brackets are cracked, call us. The same goes for doors that stick in their frames rather than their tracks. See help for sticking or jammed doors and how to make a door close tighter. Commercial interiors, like offices and clinics, can be handled by our commercial door repair team, and hinge problems on swing doors are covered in hinge pulled out of the frame.
