Thank you so much!!! My husband passed back in March, and normally I’d just have him fix it because he loved fixing things. Now that I’m rolling solo, I’m getting back into it all and your videos are a HUGE help!
Hi Bea.. So sorry to hear about your husband. I'm so glad I am able to help in some way! Thanks for the feedback.. 😀
Thank you for showing me like the beginner I am. I am putting up my doors and I was having problems trying to figure out where every piece goes, so I prayed for understanding and you addressed every piece of hardware needed; and I can now put up the rest of my doors with no problem. Praise God!
That's so awesome! God is good.. 😁
Great job. Way to patiently explain every step - very helpful!
TYSM! I really appreciate it... 😊
This video was helpful in fixing a sag issue we've had since we bought the house. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us in detail.
Great to hear! Thank you so much for the great feedback.. 🙂
Thank you for addressing hammering the pins into the pre-drilled holes. I thought I was doing something wrong before I watched your video. Excellent detail!
Excellent! I'm glad I was able to help you with this.. 🙂
Thank you so much. You have definitely went over each step thoroughly, so I feel confident to put a new door in my son's closet. 😀
You are so welcome!
This was a great video, thank you so much! I’m a single mom and just bought my first house and the laundry room bifold doors are falling off the track. I needed to understand how these doors worked, and now I’m confident I can fix them!
That's awesome! Glad I was able to help... 😀
Thanks. My house came new with bifold doors in the wash closet 30 years ago and have since been trashed. I wasn't aware until recent research that i could replace them. Thanks for getting me started.
Excellent! You're welcome. Glad I could help...
This was so helpful, you have no idea how long i have been trying to reinstall the doors that came out by themselves. I had to elongate the things that stick into the holes and that worked. I also learned the trick about how to reinstall the door by pulling the thing out first then slanting the door.... Thank You sooooo much.
You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help..
Love your energy and willingness to go into those more conversational teaching methods. Feels like I'm working with you. Thanks for the help!
TYSM for the great feedback! You're welcome.. ☺
With this video I confirmed that whoever installed the bi-fold doors in my new rental apartment has NEVER seen an aligner.
This person installed them, in BOTH doors, intertwined and bent, like they were some kind of internal latch that didn't do anything but make the doors clash everytime you closed them. I KNEW something was completely wrong with them. I didn't even know what the aligners were, so I took a picture, asked Google Images and it identified the pieces name. With the name I found this video and now I know what they are for and I fixed the doors myself. Thank you!
And yes, these needed AN aligner (not two smh).
Excellent! Glad I was able to help... 😀
Thanks for the helpful video! My doors came with really crappy instructions and your video answered all the questions I had after reading said instructions. Much appreciated!
Great to hear! You're welcome.. 🙂
Thank you! For someone that hasn't put one of these in, this video helped tremendously!
Excellent! I'm glad I could help.
Great Video! Thanks for explaining many of the practical problems!
Excellent! Thank you and you're welcome... 🙂
love it. I bought doors about a year ago and wasn't sure how to install the. now I know. will install them before Thanksgiving. thank you much. new Orleans. God blessed
Awesome! So glad I could help.. 😀
Thank you for making this so easy! Helped me out a lot!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much, I was able to fix my door. Really helpful 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You're welcome!🙂
Really not a difficult job compared to many around the house, but you did a great job. The camera sort of jumped a couple of important times, but re-playing the scene always makes things clear.
Your honest style ( "oops...wrong way"...lol..) makes things easier for beginners to hear.
Excellent! Yes I try to include bloopers whenever I can. Believe me, i've been doing this for a long time and there's still an "oops" pretty often! 😂😂
Everything explained well. Thanks for your instruction. Great job!
Thank you and you're welcome.. 😊😊
Thank you so much for this video. Excellent job, now I’m confident installing my doors!!!
That's awesome! I'm glad I could help. You're welcome.. 😀
aI grew up using tools with my grandfather and father, one a carpenter the other an engineer. So I am used to tools and the mechanics that go with them. But I could not find a simple explanatory video or instructions on which pivot pins to use to fix an old bifold door. Your video was the bomb and just what I needed. thank you so much, you rock. Your video was the best that i found. Thank you, thank you.!!!!
That's awesome! So glad I was able to help... 😁😎
Thanks! Redoing three buildings(almost complete demo rebuilt from the floor up )as adult foster homes rebuilt all new closets the doors through me for a loop. Bifolds are the one door I have never done. Thank you
Thank you so much for the super thanks! You're welcome and I'm so glad I was able to help.. 😊
Thank you very much for the specifics, that always helps when you encounter problems. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're welcome! So glad I could help.. 😀
Awesome video. Thank you for the detailed info. I have to build the header first then I can do the rest. Again thanks for the video.
Excellent! You're welcome... 🙂
Your delivery is excellent! Easy to follow and to the point. I'll be back for more... subscribed!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! You were so easy to understand; I could relate! Appreciated things to do/check before and how it should be. Video was clear and displayed well what you were doing. Ditto the other comments below. You're a good teacher!
Thank you so much for the great feedback! So glad I was able to help.... 😀
That was great, thank you, Rudy! I need to make two lightwood panel doors for my RV. I'm sick of the one hollow core door that never hangs straight always blocking the stove and too bulky. The bifold will solve the problem. I want to make one door with two folding panels which fold to left side. Ideal for an RV. Not a bad concept for cabinets either.
You explained this very well!
Thank you so much! Good luck with your project.... Is there any way to make a pocket door for the RV? Would take up even less room.
Thank you! I installed my first set of bi folds today but only after watching this video several times. Without seeing the video first the install would have been difficult and full of mistakes. Thanks again.
That's awesome! So glad I was able to help.. 😀
Thank you for making this so easy to understand!
You're very welcome!
This video was so helpful, you explain in a simple way it was so easy to follow everything that you said and i repaired my door, thank you
That's awesome! Thank you for the great feedback. You're welcome.. 😀
Awesome video. I just installed my first bi-fold doors. There was one thing that caused me a problem- I accidentally put the lower pivot pin in the wrong hole. I didn’t notice that until I had hammered the top and bottom pin in. I would suggest that you place the pins where u think they belong then hold the door up to the opening to confirm before hammering all of the pins. It took me quite a bit of time to get the pin out to fix the placement! Thx again.
Great tip... Yes they can be a pain to get back out once you hammer them all the way down.. Glad you got it fixed.. 😊
Wow, thanks so much for this. Will be installing one in a couple of days, feel a little more confident now.
Awesome! I'm glad I was able to help.. 😀
Thanks for showing me this. I was looking at my storage space in my bathroom. .. got all kinds of wire shelves in there like you do. it will be nice to hide that stuff. Thank you!
Awesome! You're welcome
I keep having trouble with one of my doors, bought my first house 18 months ago and I never had them before. I just learned by watching your video that I'm missing a piece! My wheel does not have a pin to attach to in the track and the door pops out once in awhile. Countless times I've checked the track, the hardware, removed the door to add height to the door (like you did at the end to fix the height) so the wheel is tall enough to stay in the track, but now I FINALLY know what's wrong, so thank you!!
Awesome! Glad I could help and You're welcome.. 😀
Thank you so much great video. I will be trying to install one for my laundry room
That's excellent!
Thank You So Much Very Proffesional And Very Helpful I install It Perfectly Watching You Step By Step
You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help..
Thank you for making this video. The bifold doors I bought didn’t have clear instructions. I was able to install my doors very easily watching your video step by step!
Great to hear! You're welcome.. 😊😊

Thank you so much for the clear instruction iam fitting my first set like those at the weekend. 👍
Happy to help. You're welcome.. 😀
Thank you for educating👍🏼Absolutely brilliant video. The only issue I encountered was that you didn't mention that the ceiling has to be in level. I installed the door on an old frame, which was with uneven surfaces, so I removed it a couple of times.
Oh wow! Sorry about that. Usually the top of the door frame or opening is fairly level already. I didn't consider that some weren't... Thanks for the input!
Awesome video! Thank you!
My pleasure! You're welcome.. 🙂
Very informative. Thank you!!

Your video was helpful. Thank you for mentioning at the end that the springs are useless, I never understood the purpose of those either.
Glad it was helpful! I'm sure those springs have an intended use, but I don't see a good use for them..

Thank you so much!!
You're welcome.
Thanks from Texas❤💪🏾
Welcome!!
Yes thank you very much you make it look very easy I still find myself getting frustrated my opening is like 58 x 82 so that’s where my problem is I know I can cheat on the bottom metal work but it’s the width that’s throwing me off thank you again
Oh wow.. that's a narrow opening. I suppose you could rip each door by approx a half an inch to make up the difference you need. I'm not sure exactly how much you can rip the door before you get into the hollow part, so be aware of that..
nice vid!
Thank u!
Thank you!!
You're welcome.. 😀

Thank for this video
You're welcome..
Thanks Rudy, and you have a fantastic head of hair!
Thank you kindly!
You saved the day man!
Awesome! Glad to have helped.. 😀
Thanks for posting this video. It was well done. I'm replacing old doors, but one problem I had was that the doors wouldn't stay 100% closed. They stuck out just a little bit at the hinge point. I suspected the quarter-round molding at the edge might be causing binding, and that appeared to be it. As soon as I pulled it off, the doors stayed flat when closed.
Were they closing hard? Like you have to push quite a bit to get them closed? Could be they're under some pressure keeping them from closing good...
Damn, Rudy has me ready to put some closet doors, and I don't need to.
Lol... at least you're prepared.. 😊😊
Thank you!
You're welcome.. 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the super thanks! I really appreciate it... 😀
Good job
TYSM!
Thank you sir
You're welcome.. 😀
Awesome thanks
You bet!
Thank you so much. My mom's been wanting me to do this but I kept procrastinating (I'm working on that issue).
Lol... You can do it! And you're welcome.. 😀
Thank you
You're welcome...
Great video sir! Thks for posting it! My question is you could bring the door forward about 1/2 or may be even an inch, my washer and dryer would fit better! How could I know what is too much forward I could go? Just guide myself from the wall and making sure the won't stick out??
Yes, you need to be at least 1/2" or so behind where the framing starts. You could do an experiment with some screws to see where the screws are biting good and use that line for your track. The track should cover any misc screw holes that weren't working if you wind up with any. Also measure the door to make sure you're at least back as far as 1/2 the door width to make sure your doors aren't sticking out. I hope that makes sense.
