INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 1-3/8" BIFOLD DOORS

OUGH OPENING FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION

The construction of the rough opening for single or double bifold doors should be designed so that the opening conforms to our recommended finished opening dimensions. The fin-

ishing of the rough opening can be either a wood frame or drywall because the bifold installation hardware that comes with the bifold can be surface-mounted to either material.

RECOMMENDED FINISHED OPENING DIMENSIONS

This chart allows for a 1/8” (3.2 mm) gap at the top of the bifold and a 1/4” (6.4 mm) space on the sides of the bifold, after it has been installed. The installation hardware is adjustable

so that you achieve these tolerances. It also allows for clearance over any finished floor covering. Your bifold is purchased on the basis of a nominal size which is

slightly larger than the actual size of the bifold.
