How to Install Folding Doors

By Home & Garden Last updated Monday, July/15/2024

1). Measure the width of the door frame you are going to mount the folding doors in and cut the track to a length 2 inches shorter than the frame width. This will give you enough room to adjust the folding doors to an optimal position to keep them from scratching the surrounding walls.
2). Use the provided hardware to mount the track along the bottom and the top of the door frame. Screw the track in tightly using the screwdriver and then position the door stops on the side of the track that you want the doors to fold into.
3). Depress the spring-loaded hinge at the bottom of the folding door and slide the door into the frame allowing the bottom hinge to slide into the bottom door stop. Depress the top hinge and lean the door into the door frame. Slide the top and bottom track slides--parts of the door that fit into the track--into the tracks and then open and close the door a few times to see how it works.
