How To Install Bifold Closet Doors
Have you ever wondered how to install bifold closet doors to your home? Bifold closet doors are just one of the many closet door options that we can provide to improve the look of your home.
Bifold doors are a great option for closets, large and small. You can open them up for more access, they take up minimal space and they give the room a nice finished look. We’ll walk you through this bifold closet door installation guide to show you how it’s done.
Given that you’ve already selected your style of bifold closet doors, here are the basic steps for easy installation-
Step 1: The very first step is to mount the hinges onto the door. So, take the necessary measurements, and screw the hinges into position.
Step 2: Bifold doors function on tracks much like sliding closet doors. So, attach the track hardware that is provided by the manufacturer to the door. For your convenience, consider reading the installation manual thoroughly to make sure that everything fits perfectly.
Step 3: Now, it’s time to install the track and floor brackets. Cut the track accordingly, and fix it on the upper door jamb. Subsequently, position the floor bracket effectively to ensure the proper and smooth functioning of the door.
Step 4: Now, it’s time for you to fix the door to the frame! This might require another helping hand as it gets a little tough to handle if you’re working alone. Hang the doors onto the track, and adjust the floor brackets accordingly.
Step 5: Next, attach the door aligners, which will help keep the bifold doors locked into place when they are closed. Now check the alignment of the doors closely, and adjust the track hardware accordingly to ensure that the doors reveal equally while opening.
Step 6: Lastly, attach the door pulls. You can opt for customized door hardware to enhance the aesthetics, or can also stick with regular hardware as per your taste. And voila! Your bifold closet doors are ready for operation!
