INSPECT FINISHED OPENING
• The width size specication (nished opening size) shown on the
bifold packaging is 1/2" larger than the bifold set to allow for at least
a 1/4" gap between the side jamb and pivot door (door secured to
the oor and head jamb). Double units should have at least 1/4" gap
between both side jambs and no gap between the doors that meet in
the middle.
• The height size specication (nished opening size) shown on the
bifold packaging is 1-1/2" larger than the bifold set to allow for
the track to be installed above the door set and the lower bracket
installed below the door set.
• Measure height and
width of nished
wall opening and
verify it is no more
than 1/4" larger or
smaller than the
stated opening size
on thepackaging.
• Once the door set(s)
are installed, there
is an additional
hardware adjustment
of up to 3/8" to
center the sets in the
nished opening.
• If the nished
opening is too large,
ller material, such
as a 1" x 6" piece
of pine trim can
be tacked into the
opening to bring it to the correct size.
• If the nished opening is too small (1/2" or less), 1-3/8" thick hollow
or solid core molded and ush doors may be trimmed 1/4" on each
side as necessary. Trimming any other bifold type is not recommended.
For the best appearance, trim an equal amount from opposite sides.
To minimize chipping, stick masking tape along the cut line to each
face of the slab. Make the cuts with a ne toothed circular saw.
• If the opening is too far out of specication, or if you are
not condent trimming, you can order custom sizes from our
manufacturing locations to t the nished opening, or contact a
building professional for assistance. Contact us or a dealer/distributor
for options.
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
For retrot installations remove the old door and contact your local
waste management entities for proper disposal or recycling of products
being removed.
