Sliding Door, Stopper

[ckreef]

I screwed up. Last weekend I adjusted my trailer brakes then drove it down the road and back to test them. Oops I forgot to attach my sliding door straps. One of the doors hit the screw stopper so hard it busted the screw and came off the track at the end. It didn't screw up anything other than breaking the screw stopper. I managed to get the door back in the track. I needed to replace the stopper but just a screw wasn't good enough. Here's what I did.

I took a rubber cork from a cheap bottle of wine and cut a piece 11/16" long. Pre drilled everything and installed it with a wood screw from the house. Then repeated it on the other sliding door.

The first picture is GD's screw stopper.

Good idea. I used a rubber foot off an old piece of electronic test equipment and screwed it in place.

I totally get it. Use what you got. Did yours just have a screw from the factory?

It did but a metal screw. I used a drywall screw to hold it in place.
