    You will need to be very lucky to get this to work for you, it takes two people. One person slips several putty knives under the door and the raise the door as high as possible while the other person presses firmly at the top pushing the trolley back onto the track. Quite frankly when pocket doors come off their track you usually have a bad trolley or a bad track and not much short of replacemnet will give a long term fix.

    I agree with ballengerb1. Usually have to replace trolley and track.

    To get maximum lift, u may have to lower door so that it does not hit track.

    Good luck
