Cabinet doors

[susans69]

I have a 1976 Argosy with the roll up cabinet doors. Some of them wont stay open and others are practically impossible to open. Does anyone know a way to repair these doors.

A coating of "silicone spray" does wonders for the tambour door operation.

I also would like to know how to get them to stay open.

The bottom metal "handle" should latch when they are raised. A slight pull toward you when the door is raised completely should do the trick.

The bottom edge of the tambour catches on a small ridge thats at the top of the spirel.

The bottom edge could be worn out after all these years, but can be fixed with a small file, by squaring off that edge thats within the spirel.

Most of those spirels are no longer available.

Is there anyway to "tighten" the rollers? Lubricating helped some of the doors but others still stick or catch on one spot.

Rollers are not used with tambour doors.
