Types of breakdowns and ways to fix them

When a wardrobe with sliding doors breaks, there is no need to rush to call a repairman. Most often, you can find the cause and solve the problem yourself. In most cases, furniture repair is needed due to the following:

elements of the body or its filling are broken;
parts of the valve opening mechanism are deformed, worn out, torn off, or loose;
glass and mirror elements of the facade are broken or damaged.

Premium sliding wardrobes are often decorated with carved decor and various moldings. If furniture is not used carefully, they chip, scratch, or break off. After this, their restoration is necessary.

Schemes for organizing the filling of a sliding wardrobe with straight and corner configurations

Frame defects

During long-term use, the furniture body warps and becomes deformed. It begins to wobble and squeak when the doors move. Sliding door leaves and drawers open with difficulty or become completely jammed. The problem is a broken or loose fastener. Here you need to inspect the wardrobe box and find problematic screws, screws, bolts. Then replace or tighten them with a screwdriver or screwdriver. Additionally, it is recommended to securely fasten the frame iron corners fixed at the joints of the rear wall of the cabinet and both side walls.

The most common cases of failure of wardrobe filling elements:

Deflection, breakage of shelves, formation of large cracks on them. The cause of these defects is excessive mechanical stress. It occurs if the base of the storage system is too wide and not reinforced with racks. Panels that are sagging or broken in half cannot be repaired; only their replacement is possible. The new shelf needs to be divided into two compartments and placed in the middle with timber supports to reduce the load.
Chips and small cracks on shelves and drawer fronts. These small damages are restored. All defects are covered with wood putty, sanded with fine emery cloth and covered with paint to match the furniture.
Deflection, separation from the walls of clothes rails. This happens due to strong mechanical loads. First you need to strengthen the pipe in the middle, this is done using a pass-through holder. It is fixed to the inside of the cabinet lid with screws. Then a rod is threaded through the fittings ring and secured with two flanges on the sides of the furniture.

When using the product, the filling elements break: hangers, hangers, hooks. The fittings also fail: handles, latches, awnings. One of the furniture legs may give way. When repairing wardrobes, these elements are completely replaced.

To prevent the shelves from sagging, you can install timber supports in the middle, which will reduce the load

Chips and small defects on the surface of the shelf can be covered with wood putty, treated with fine sandpaper and coated with paint to match the furniture

If the clothes rail breaks, reinforce the pipe in the middle using a pass-through holder

Damage to mechanical components

If the furniture door moves with difficulty, and there are gaps between it and the body when closing the door, this means that there are problems with the sliding system. They arise due to:

dirt in the frame groove;
unreliable fastening of the guide on the box;
incorrect location of the stopper;
deformation, wear of wardrobe wheels.

Options for using a white wardrobe in the interior of different rooms

First of all, the lower frame of the sliding system is inspected for contamination. If they exist, they are removed like this:

First, dust is collected with a vacuum cleaner;
then the stuck dirt is removed with a scraper;
Lastly, the gutter is wiped with a rag soaked in soapy water.

Gaps often form between the doors and the frame of the furniture. This indicates deformation of the case or problems with the stopper. When a gap appears at the junction of the canvas and the central section of the structure, this indicates that it is overloaded. Sometimes the retainer falls out of the groove of the bottom guide, in which case it just needs to be inserted back into the profile. It is advisable to secure the stopper additionally. This is done using screws or Moment construction adhesive.

In some cases, the frame of the sliding system lags behind the frame. Here you need to remove the sash from the guide, then screw the profile with self-tapping screws to the body through new holes drilled with an electric drill. Next, the canvas should be put in its place.

Dirt accumulated in the groove of the frame can lead to problems in the operation of the sliding system

If the retainer has fallen out of the groove of the lower guide, then you just need to insert it back into the profile

If the frame of the sliding system lags behind the frame, you need to remove the sash from the guide, and then screw the profile with self-tapping screws to the body

Door deformation

A sash that creaks, rattles, or jams when moving indicates that the roller has become deformed or the rubber layer covering it has worn off. In this case, the wheel needs to be changed. Before doing this, you can try lubricating the sliding mechanism with technical oil. If this does not solve the problem, drastic measures are needed.

If the doors no longer close completely, are skewed, or deformed, the source of the problem is first determined. It may be that the furniture is overcrowded with things and some of them interfere with the door, so it is necessary to inspect the structure. If the assumption is not confirmed, the wardrobe is repaired with the replacement of rollers and guides. This is done as follows:

Lift the door, pull out the lower wheels from the guide, then move the lower part of the canvas and pull it out of the upper profile.
Turn the screw at the bottom of the facade using a hexagon.
Remove the rollers and install new ones using a hexagon.

The procedure to follow if gaps appear between the canvas and the furniture body:

the buffer tape in the corner of the facade comes off;
the screw rotates clockwise, thereby removing the lower gap;
when the gap is at the top, the fastener rotates in the opposite direction.

Wardrobe doors may not close tightly due to a broken stopper or latch. If the latch falls out or moves, it is inserted back. To ensure reliable repair of wardrobe doors, it is mounted on quick-drying glue. A broken lock is completely replaced.

Mirror replacement

Over time, fragile decorative elements of furniture facades are scratched, cracked, broken, and their amalgam is peeled off. In this case, the wardrobe mirror changes. The procedure is as follows:

The sash is removed from the guide and laid on the floor.
Using a screwdriver or screwdriver, the insert frame is disassembled. It is made from an aluminum profile and is fastened with four screws located at the end of the blades. Also, the frame is made of iron and is held in place by roller clamps, which are located on the inside of the sash.
The dimensions of the insert are measured. This must be done precisely down to the millimeter.
The part is ordered from a furniture shop or glass factory.
When the item is delivered, they begin replacing the mirror in the closet. To do this, it is inserted back into the frame, which is screwed to the door.
Lastly, the blade is mounted on the guide.

You must work slowly and carefully with the fragile insert. If handled carelessly, it may break. It is advisable to immediately stick a special protective film on the back of the mirror.

Despite the reliability, strength and rigidity, the wardrobe often fails during operation. If the breakdown is simple, then it is easy to repair it yourself. The main thing is to do everything according to the rules.

Liquid Nails. It smells strong. Sometimes it can destroy the amalgam. The glue must be suitable for mirror surfaces.
Construction silicone. The most optimal option. Does not give side effects. Glue by placing the composition in intermittent strips along the contour of the mirror.
Profile crimping. The mirror is clamped along the edge, and it becomes part of the door leaf. Professionals recommend it as a reliable method.
Mechanical fastening. Fastening is carried out with thin screws, screwing in plastic stops and metal clamps.

If suddenly there is force majeure

It happens that the mirrored cabinet door is damaged. Then you need to disassemble the facade frame.

It is usually made of aluminum and secured with four screws at the ends of the doors, covered with a dust-proof brush. The steel frame is held in place by four roller devices located inside the door.

To independently replace mirrors in wardrobes, all you need is a screwdriver and a screwdriver. First of all, you have to remove the door.

The stopper is disconnected, and only then the canvas must be removed and positioned horizontally. Now you can start repairing the part.

Step-by-step instructions for gluing a mirror

For example, we will consider the classic option - gluing a mirror to a cabinet door; the mirror is large and requires high reliability of fixation.

First you need to drill holes in the doors for the hinges . This is not difficult to do, you just need to pay attention to the distance and symmetry.

Doors have holes drilled for hinges

Step 1. Place the mirror on the door and check the dimensions of the elements.

Checking dimensions

Practical advice. Protect the amalgam layer from damage; through scratches are visible on the front surface.

To prevent mechanical damage to the back of the mirror, place a soft cloth or other protective pad between the door plate and it. Amalgam is an alloy of mercury with metals; it is a heterogeneous or homogeneous system; it can be liquid or solid. To make cheap reflective coatings, tin or zinc, and less often silver, are most often dissolved in mercury.

If the doors have curves around the perimeter, then the edge of the mirror should not reach their turn. Otherwise, a gap will appear between the parts, dirt will accumulate in it over time, and the appearance of the furniture will be significantly damaged. It is best to check the position of glass and furniture boards with your fingers; this is the most accurate and sensitive tool; professional furniture makers very often perform final checks of various connections only with their hands. This makes working convenient, fast and very accurate.

Step 2. Check the correct location of the hole according to the previously drawn sketch.

Sketch

If a door handle is planned on the mirror, it is recommended to drill the hole in special workshops. Doing such work yourself is not recommended for several reasons.

Firstly, to drill glass you need to have a set of special tools and devices.
Secondly, such work can only be done by experienced craftsmen; the first attempt is most often unsuccessful.
Thirdly, the cost of professional services is much less than the price of a new mirror. And you will have to buy it to replace the damaged one.

Step 3. On the cabinet door, mark the location of the holes on the mirror. Such manipulations must be performed on the second door.

Marking

It is not recommended to remove the mirrors before final marking; let them remain in place. This will make it possible at any time to check the correctness of their placement and the correspondence of the marks made.

Step 4. Remove the mirror and drill through holes for the handles. Constantly check the position of the elements.

Drilling holes

At this point the preparatory operations are completed, you can proceed directly to gluing

Gluing the mirror

Prepare the work surface of the table; it should be smooth and clean.

Important. The dimensions of the work table are selected in such a way that the door fits completely in length.

The fact is that laminated boards are not very durable. If the edges hang down, then under the influence of its own weight the slab bends slightly. The mirror is made of glass, which is much stiffer than slabs and hardly bends at this distance. As a result, a gap will appear between the surfaces, which will have an extremely negative impact on the quality of gluing of the elements.

Do not allow a gap to form between the mirror and the door.

Step 1. Prepare the glue for use. The composition is sold in plastic tubes and is squeezed out using a special gun.

Using a sharp knife, cut off the sealed end of the tube, but do not touch the threaded part. The glue is sealed completely hermetically, which increases the storage time. Before use, carefully look at the date of manufacture and expiration date; never buy low-quality or expired materials.
Screw the cone onto the thread, cut the end at an angle of approximately 30°. Please note that the cone can be cut at different distances, thus adjusting the diameter. If you are gluing large surfaces, then increase the diameter of the cone, and for small elements, reduce the hole.
Insert the prepared tube of glue with the screwed end into the gun, carefully adjust its rod to the glue piston and press until the glue appears.

After each application of glue, release the piston lock lever as quickly as possible and remove the load from it. If you don’t do this, quite a lot of material will come out after the gluing process is completed. It can stain the surface of a mirror or cabinet, and once it hardens, it is very difficult to remove the glue. In addition, unproductive losses increase; it is better to save the composition and use it for good.

What types of sealant guns are there?

Step 2. Very thoroughly degrease the surfaces of the elements; the adhesion strength largely depends on this. You can use special products or ordinary solvents. After degreasing, the surfaces must be completely dry. Work with the compounds carefully, some of them are quite poisonous.

Surface cleaner

Step 3. According to the attached instructions, apply glue to the surface of the door. Often these are longitudinal stripes at a distance of about 10 cm. But in practice, to increase the reliability of fixation, it is recommended to increase the dimensions; if possible, then it is necessary to fill the maximum area of the joined parts.

Applying glue

Step 4. Place a mirror on the door and carefully check its position. Be sure to pay attention to whether the holes in the glass and the furniture board match. Experienced craftsmen recommend inserting any objects of suitable diameter into them; they center the holes and completely eliminate accidental movements. If after movement the glue completely hardens, then the defect cannot be corrected. Modern high-quality compositions have very high adhesion; it is even theoretically impossible to tear glass off the surface of a furniture board; it will definitely crack. You must always remember this and work extremely carefully.

If a problem does occur, then you need to try to save the door; in any case, the mirror will have to be changed, even if it cracks. Remove it in pieces; if necessary, use thin metal devices or tools.

Gluing the mirror

Step 5. After gluing is completed, it is recommended to press the cabinet parts a little; use pieces of slabs or other large objects for this purpose. Allow time for the composition to dry or harden; specific parameters are indicated by the manufacturer on the surface of the tube.
