Crappy looking door guide???
WTF?
I’ve searched high and low but can’t seem to find anything better looking than the usual metal/vinyl fixed or adjustable door guide which requires me to reach for the bottle everytime I think of this weak link in the final trim phase of a 1.5 year project.
If you have seen anything different/upscale/unusual I’ll be at the corner bar…

I just put in a Johnson pocket door and the side guides were pcs of hard plastic that would rub the finish off in a week.I made a pair out of small pcs of maple and cut up one of those psuedo felt painting pads and gorilla glued it to them. Nice and quiet and soft to the finish.
Jeeez Tree, I guess you caught me with my toolbelt wrapped tightly about my brain.By God! I often forget that we can actually fashion things ourselves!Thanks for the wake-up call. I might take this moment to toss all of my power tools and search out that blade file I stored somewhere 'safe' a few thousand years ago and get my hand saws tuned up! Shameful what the turn and burn mentality has done to the GC profession, me included.
