    I would shorten it and then drill another hole above that existing bottom hole. The existing bottom hole would be cut off. There would still be two holes.

    That's what I was thinking.

    Hi Malcolm,

    I know the feeling. I guess we probably all do.

    I'm glad this thread is about a mistake instead of an injury, which is what I was expecting from the title.

    PHM

    I cut the straps short and drilled a new bottom hole. Worked well.

    Thanks! They are 9' tall. There was no off the shelf option; I had to build them. The original idea was not a closet- I was going to build hanging panels with slatwall on them and the wheels would allow one panel to slide in front of the other panel- sort of a stacking storage. As you may remember, I did put up slat wall, but decided to build a closet and use these rollers for the doors. It's perfect because the closet fits in a spot where there were few options to put anything due to an odd indentation in the wall to cover plumbing.

    Things happen!

    Like this :
    Can you raise the counter top up so the W/D fit under the countertop and move the appliances to the opposite corner of the laundry room ??


    Why sure we can, no problem!

    Er , well sort of!

    At normal 36” counter top height the drawer front would pass under the door handle , at 39” not so much!

    If you shut the door, and the drawer somehow moves open, you are pretty much done with that room for a while.
