Brilliant!!!! Thank you for this video. My boiler room, was recently converted into storage space and I needed to add a door, just to make it neater but had no space to open it, so this is a perfect solution.
Hello! This video was very helpful. I have a question about this type - is it the way it is or has it been purposely done this way for the doors to appear not fully flattened out?
+saltedpretzelsnmilk The doors need some flexibility in them and should never be fully extended . There is a natural spring in the door panels which if fully extended would put uneccessary strain on the keep and lock mechanism. There is no advantage to having a folding door flattened out.
Gracias, ustedes lo hacen perfecto como para que una mujer como yo pueda instalar una puerta plegable. GRACIAS!! Thank you to make it perfect for a woman like me can install a folding door. THANKS!!
Hi could i get a quote for a internal white door the same as the one in this video,I'm finding that website a bit tricky to use the sizes are 800mm x 2030mm, cheers.
Many closets and pantries have these sliding "bi-fold" doors. I have a one "bi-fold" door in front of our pantry, and I was wondering if it could be switched around so that it opens on the opposite side. Can you help?
Many bi fold doors are reversable Patrick but unfortunately some are made for a specific opening and only open one way as turning it round alters the way the lock etc is facing. It's impossible for us to know if yours would work "back to front" without seeing it I'm afraid.
would a folding door be able to attach to ceiling tile. the door has the frame that it came with. I just didn't know if I would have to make another frame or if the ceiling tile would be sturdy enough
can the doors be installed if there is no ceiling? I am trying to divide my studio into 1 bedroom and was thinking of using these doors, only issue is that ceilings in my studio are very high so these doors need to be assembled way below the ceiling and I dont know if the track would be able to support the weight of the doors if it is not attached to the ceiling.
+Rash N There is no ceiling in the roomwhere the video was shot Rash. Just make up a frame with a door lining set which canbe bought fromany builders merchants and you have a perfect setting for your folding door. We have a page on infoormation about frames andliners here www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/doorlinerframe.htm Good luck and please dolet us knowhow you get on.

I hope Richard has lifted his game since this video was made, because at the pace he goes, Mike is gunna broke in 5 minutes flat, because that's how long it takes Dick to screw in one screw - into pre-drilled at that ! - Sorry I just had to say it.
William Langfield Very helpfull William, thanks for that. I suspect he's a little quicker when he's on site but slowed down to help people like you who are searching for how to do certain jobs because they dont know how to do them - but when they find their answers, it seems that they are better than the person they sought out for advice....How strange.
