Has anyone had a pocket door go part-way open and then stop? My galley door closes every time, but on open it sticks with about 8" still to go.

I have a separate air meter for the pocket doors and the air pressure is set at about 40 psi. (Any more than this and the closet door makes a large pop noise on closing and will not work until I lower the pressure).

Any thoughts?

If I remove the refrigerator, I can probably observe what is going on, but don't want to do that until I understand more about the method of operation of these doors.

Cheers,

Try lubing the rail graphite.

Does it close if you "help" it or increase the air pressure? If so you just need to lube the slide rail at the top. On mine I had to remove a small mirror piece over the door to acces the screws that held the cover in place. Silicone might be a cleaner solution than graphite

I tried some lithium, but it did not change anything. Also, if I "help" it close, it takes quite a bit of pressure to close. But...if I help it close, it opens just fine. Also, the problem may be "in the wall". That would require me to take fridge out.
