ABOUT BIFOLD DOORS
Bifold doors fold in on themselves, and are fixed to sliding track at the top of the door. They take up less space, when opened, than normal doors. They are frequently used for closets, laundry rooms, and other storage spaces. They may also be used as dividers between two rooms. They normally come in two or four sections; in both case the opening is in the middle. Multi-fold designs, with more than four panels, are available on a custom basis. Bifold doors may be of solid wood, or may by molded.
