Installing Glass Bifold Doors

Glass Bifold Door Installation

Glass Bifold doors are perfect for those situations where you need access to the full width of the door opening — in a laundry closet, as an example, or for showers. These glass doors come in a variety of styles, such as plain, raised-panel, louvered as well as mirrored varieties.


Installation of glass bifold doors is a relatively simple process and typically involves the following steps:

• Make sure to set up the top track first.


• Set upthe bottom track on the floor directly below the top track. (Some glass bifold doors may not use a bottom track.)


• Install the glass doors by first putting the bottom pivot point into the lower track socket. Then put the top pivot point into the top pivot socket. Please note that the top pivot point is spring loaded. To install, simply retract the pivot point, place it into position, and release it.


• Position the upper and lower sliding guides in the track channels.


• Space the panels evenly and fit them to the door opening by adjusting the track sockets in place.


• Raise or lower the panels by adjusting the height of the lower pivot pin.

Following the above guidelines should see your glass bi-fold doors installation quickly become a relatively simple process.


Good luck!
