Pocket Door Track Repair Tool

[Papahoosh]

I used the tool I put together to remove the screws used by the manufacturer for the pocket door tracks (two screws fell off).
I removed the two screws from the top panel outside of the bathroom in the hallway, then removed the panel, and then removed the door.
Using the tool I made I was able to remove all screws and fastened the track using Pocket Hole Screws 1-1/4" (they are square drive heads, the driver bit doesn't slip as easily).
You have to take it slow when inserting the screws.
Take your time, after a couple of times, the screws went in.
I used the tool I made to work on the pocket door at the house as well.
No RV wall panels and drywall at the house were touched.

Hope this helps someone.

Pretty ingenious. Hopefully I won't need this, good to know what can be done though. Thanks for posting.

Dang, could have used this last month. Hit a big pothole on I25 in CO and the track screws inside the wall for the bathroom door fell out. I was able to squeeze my drill-driver and arm inside the wall after removing the door and replace the screws as well as add more in the additional track holes that weren't used (come on Grand Design). It doesn't help that every screw installed on these things is completely stripped out.

Great tool!
