Bifold Closet Doors Installation Basics


Bifold closet doors ensure you save floor space in the room. They are also not as cumbersome as sliding closet doors and allow you to reach every part of the closet easily. And if you have regular closet doors or sliding ones, installing bifold closet doors will not take more than an afternoon of your time.

 

While choosing the bifold closet doors, make sure that you opt for heavy wood since the weight of the doors actually keeps them from shuddering when you open the closet.

 

Attaching the bifold closet doors track pivots and hinges can prove to be the toughest part of the installation. Just make sure that you check each step of the bifold closet doors installation as you move along.

 

You will need a measuring tape, marker, bifold closet doors to size, an electric drill, a screwdriver, a hacksaw, bifold closet doors hardware and a hammer for installation.

 

The installation steps go as follows:

  1. mounting the hinges
  2. attaching the track to the bifold closet doors
  3. installing the track on the upper side of the closet
  4. positioning and attaching the floor bracket
  5. hanging the bifold closet doors
  6. attaching the door aligner and installing the bifold closet doors knob
