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 recommend.
• 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.
