Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We have two roll-up wood cabinet doors in the wardrobe area of our class A. One covers the TV and the other is just a storage space. Our problem is that one of the plastic tracks has broken and in doing so has broken a couple of the wood slats in the door. They're also very hard to move up and down.
My DH is wanting to combine the two into one working door (the TV doesn't really need to be hidden), and we're wanting to know if anyone has had any experience with removing and reinstalling these doors. Also, do you know of some kind of lubricant we can put on the track to help them move more easily? I've tried searching on-line and all I'm finding is garage door information. Can you help?
Thank you all for your valuable information! We're quite new to this lifestyle and still have a lot to learn!

Having once been in the kitchen remodeling business it sounds like the same kind of parts cabinet manufacturers use for appliance garages. Appliance garages sit on the counter, usually in a corner, and have a rollup door similar to what you have. I know you can buy the slatted material for the doors by the roll and probably the tracks as well from a kitchen cabinet supply house. As for a lubricant I always used silicone spray in the tracks and it made them glide easily. Good luck!

I remembered after I posted that my daughter has this type of door in her kitchen to store her bread items. I will check with her to see where she ordered her cabinets. I'll also check Home Depot, etc. It would probably be cheaper there than where she got hers.
Thank you for your help, especially with the silicon spray. Probably sticking is what broke the track in the first place. You've been very helpful!

Cabinet shop in past life. Seems like Van Dyke Restorers and Rockler had some of the tambour and hardware. Think if you google you will find it. Hope this helps.
