Johnson Hardware2312 Universal Door Hanger

Very easy to install

Tried before to fix a pocket door with other replacement hardware that didn't work well at all. It kept jumping the track, and the overly complicated height adjustment kept moving.This is good, heavy duty hardware that holds a solid wood door (maybe 50 lbs.?) and rolls smoothly and firmly in a 60 year old steel track.However, there are 2 things to know heading into this:1. As others have noted in reviews, the height adjustment screw and block sticks out and required modification to the door frame to get it installed. But it only required that modification (a couple of half inch long notches) to get the door (with hardware installed) into the track. Once it was in the track, everything cleared fine.2. The packaging showed that the edge of the plate line up with the edge of the door. After measuring the gap between the center of the track (where wheels will roll) and the door frame, it was obvious that I needed to mount the hardware so the wheels fall along the centerline of the door. So do some measuring and get it right the first time.

I had a contractor said that he could fix my pocket door he took it out and said it couldn’t be fixed needed in the truck and he kept a tear so I got six different ones the store and then I ordered yours I came home he said the wheels you had said there’s six of them sitting out there and I said and I think I told you to start with this and as soon as they put the Johnson ones on there it worked like a charm works better than it ever has in this house that was built in 1973 the original door and it’s heavy

This is a good heavy duty hanger that after door frame mods works for me. My channel is in the middle of the door pocket (the hanger wheels are centered on the door). When test sliding the new hanger in the channel, the adjustment bolt head, threaded receiver, and nylon block all hit the pocket door frame. I used a hack saw blade (hand held) to make a cut in the door frame just below and above the interference, then used a chisel to remove the interfering portion of the door frame. I also filed down the threaded adjustment receiver since I have a metal band in the door frame that I did not want to cut. Not that big a deal. They work fine now.

WAS EASIER TO PUT IN THAN THE OLD ONE WAS TO TAKE OUT.

This is a sturdy and well-built piece of hardware. But it's not good for many retro-fit applications.If your track is centered on the head jamb, then your rollers must also be centered on the door itself. But when the rollers are centered on the door, the adjustment nut hangs over the door about 3/16" and hits the frame.....thereby making it non-usable.If however you are installing a pocket door from scratch, this will work great. Just make sure and offset your track, to accommodate the adjustment nut.

Pulling the door out of the pocket wall was not easy, but once out installing the rollars was easy. New flooring had to be installed causing the pocket door to have to be cut down. After the door was cut to size and the molding around the door replaced, it could be painted and look like it did before. The rollars fixed the two broken rollars that were there since the 1960s.

They looked well built and Installed according to instructions but They hit my door opening. I tried moving them but then the door hit the opening. It may have been the way the door was installed but I did not want to rip out the Sheetrock.My original rollers slipped on the bracket so I placed epoxy on them to stay into place.Anyone want slightly used rollers?
