HELP!! Anyone?

I have been to all the known H'ware stores....no help.

I need the Bottom Track for Mirrored Wardrobe doors. (CW, Monarch (type).
Bottom Roller Type, Top uses just a plastic guide.

The Mirrored Closet door(s) bottom rollers
eventually deform the Bottom Track.
If the track at all becomes loose, the deformation is accelerated.
The longer I waited before tightening or re-bending
the girls tracks, the worse they got.
The track is no longer able to reformed. (read: Large Hammer)

Bottom track? 48" 50" thru 84" (various)
ANYONE know a supplier or source for the Bottom Track.


I hate to buy a whole new closet door (as Ganahl Suggested), just for the Bottom Track.

For anyone with Tracks not to bad.....I would suggest adding some screws down the center of the track
...AND ...."maybe"
..even drilling the Outside edge of the Track (at carpet hold down) and adding a thin Long Screw....very secure then.
CAUTION: when drilling not to snag the carpet thread and
pull out a huge piece.

THANK YOU for any input.

Maybe if you posted a picture of the bottom track we'd have a better idea of what it looks like. Preferably a top view or side view. Pictures can be uploaded to Flickr or Photobucket, then the URL link can be copied and pasted into a message.

I'm wondering if it's similar to Stanley's design.

I was going to suggest Stanley, too. The Stanley mirrored doors are best installed without carpet in place, or with a wooden spacer for the bottom to prevent the deformation. I have cut 1/4" luan the width and length of the track and installed it under the track for a solid sub.
