Joe,

Thanks for the clue about the rollers. As far as I know I have a set of metal rollers at the inside portion of the kitchen area where the aluminum angle rests. I do not see any other ones but there might be a set at the edge of the stationary floor that I can't see from the inside.

In my case the edge of the pocket door frame contacts the floor as the slide comes in close to the closed point and then picks the edge up as the final movement takes place when the slide mates with the outside wall. It took a chunk out of the linoleum. I replaced the aluminum angle as it had bent and pulled away from the wall inside the pocket on the outside portion of the assembly. That let the load bearing portion of the interior partition drop down and have wood to metal roller contact. The wood, soft pine of course, collapsed when this happened. Replacing the aluminum seemed to gain a bit of clearance but there is still some angular movement on the interior edge of the pocket door. We exercised the slide one time after replacing the metal and it seemed to clear.

I posted pix of this situation way back when it happened the first time about 3 years ago. I'll have to look for the post and make a link to it for anyone else who might have the same situation.

I'll send an e-mail to Cross and see if he can give me more info about where those rollers should be located. It would not surprise me a bit to find out they are missing.
