Sliding pocket door wrench

Sliding pocket door wrench

Description

Pocket doors (sliding doors on rollers) have a nut that is very hard to access without taking off the trim. This is shown in the second photo, taken from [here](https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/246484/is-there-a-way-to-remove-this-sliding-door-without-taking-down-the-trim), with another example of the nut [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/Tools/comments/p6ijj3/i_need_to_adjust_this_nut_that_sets_the_height_of/). You can purchase a speciality angled wrench to tighten this nut, but it was unclear what size the nut would be. For example, [this](https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Line-Products-7164-Adjustment-Johnson/dp/B00FMU22KE) 6.77 mm wrench, or [this](https://mrwindows.com.au/products/spanner-for-cavity-roller-adjustment-suits-corinthian-and-more-sold-singularly) 11.11 mm wrench. Here I have designed a wrench that works fairly well. It printed and uploaded a few different versions, which fits nuts of width 11, 11.5, 12, and 13 mm. For my Australian door, the 11.5 mm width was perfect. (Perhaps the 11.11 mm wrench above would be the right fit.) I've also uploaded the FreeCAD file if you wanted to modify the design for other sizes. The angle of the handle is 45°, which works well for my doors, but this could also be modified.
