Fellow Allies,
While we haven't yet taken possession of our 2027 25RL (this coming Friday if things work out!), I couldn't help but notice on a recent very brief walk thru, it is very likely the pocket door leading into the bathroom will wobble back and forth inside the housing during transit, even with the locking mechanism engaged and thereby keeping the door from closing. The area of concern is located towards the bottom of the door where the door itself can move side to side. I can just see it now; this will result in abrasion taking place on the lower portion of the door where it contacts or rubs against the pocket door's wooden housing.
I had thought a possible solution might be to attach a strip of "fuzzy" Velcro along both sides of the lower pocket door frame, therefore adding some padding which would cushion the pocket door and prevent the door from making contact with the lower pocket door frame. Another possible solution might be to locate a set of small plastic rollers and install them inside the pocket door housing thereby keeping the door from wobbling back and forth and as an added bonus, it might help keep the door centered while being opened or closed.
What other ideas might come to mind or what other solutions have others already utilized to help secure a pocket door from wobbling?
