bent slide wall

[halfwright]

The wall on left end of the slide is bent and not making contact at the top. How can I bend it back?

How did it get bent and do you have any pic's of it?

desription of bent? Slide may simply need realignment.'

[halfwright]

I bent it by trying to close it with the cabinet door open. It is possible that it was pulled out of line. I can't get a picture because it is against a wall.

I have doubts whether a wood cabinet door could bend the aluminum frame that forms the slide out. Maybe the adjuster plate on the arm under your slide was what was bent if that particular slide has the gear teeth arms under it..

It's definitely going to take some photos. Is the slide in or out. I'm trying to visualize a bend or a bow? If the slide is in, I can think of a potential fix but I'm not going to make a suggestion without seeing something.

If it is a Schwintek slide system that We see on the smaller slides it is simple to fix. Simply run The slide all the out and back in a few times allowing the slide to max out on travel. This should allow the teeth to realign and even out the slide. You can look at the Schwintek utube video as there are several of them.
