We just bought a limestone that has two sets of double pocket/sliding doors and one single pocket/sliding door. Two of the doors are completely stuck in their off-the-track position in walls where we weren’t planning on opening up the plaster.

Does anyone know if it is possible to put the doors back on their tracks without taking out the wall? I assume they run on a bottom track but am not certain.

Also, we would like to strip them of their years of paint. Is this also possible to do in place? I’m skimping here to help pay for the kitchen we need to put in (there isn’t much of an existing one to speak of).

Thanks for any information!
