Your Bifold door is made ready to install.
Trimming is NOT recommended.
1. Insert the top pivots. There are two dierent
kinds of top pivots in your hardware pack. The
one with a narrower top should be installed on
the side of the door that will remain stationary by
the door jamb. The other, with a circular top, will
glide through the track as the door opens and
closes. Press rmly to push both top pivots into
the pre-drilled holes at the top of your door. You
may need to use a hammer to be sure they are in
completely.
STATIONARY SIDE
OPENING SIDE
Insert the bottom pivot. This should be installed
into the pre-drilled hole at the bottom edge of the
door that will remain near the jamb side of the
opening.
2. Install the top track. Measure the center
of the door header to determine the placement of
the track. After having made pilot holes for the
track screws, Insert the Door Snugger to the open
side and the Top Pivot Bracket to the Stationary
side (move to a position where anchor screws
can be installed). Install the track with the screws
provided.

3. Install the jamb bracket. Measure the base of
the jamb to determine the placement of the jamb
bracket. This should be in line with the
measurements made for installing your top track.
Drill pilot holes, then install the jamb bracket
using the screws provided.
4. Install the door panels. Install the door panels
by inserting the top pivot at the pivoting side
of the door into the track bracket. Depress the
guide pivot and position it under the track, then
release it so the guide pivot is securely positioned
in the track. With the top pivots inserted, lift
upward on the panels and position the bottom
pivot into the jamb bracket on the oor. Let the
bottom pivot sit onto the jamb bracket rmly with
the knurled teeth engaged.
5. Adjust door. The door height can be adjusted
by slightly lifting the panels and turning the
threaded stem of the bottom pivot. You should
seat the bottom pivot into the jamb bracket at
the desired height. Be sure the door is plumb
with your opening and not rubbing against the
door jamb. You may also need to adjust the
track bracket by loosening the bracket screw and
sliding the bracket within the track. Be sure to
tighten it at your desired location. You can also
adjust the door closer to or farther away from the
jamb, as necessary, by moving the bottom pivot
in either direction.
6. Install door handle. Depending on your door
style, the knob should be installed on either
the center rail or the stile of the innermost door
panel(s). If installing on the rail, install in the
center of the rail. If installing on the stile, from
the bottom of the door, measure up approximately
36”. Make a pilot hole and attach the door
handle with the screw provided. See Figure 1.
