They care commonly used as closet doors or as dividers between rooms. Bifold doors often become stuck when the tracks become filled with debris or when the doors are not correctly placed on the tracks. The first step in correcting problems with a sticking bifold door is to determine whether the doors are correctly placed on their upper and lower tracks. The doors will move awkwardly or may not move at all if they are off the tracks.If the doors are off the track, carefully lift them back into place back on the track. You may need to take the doors down completely and adjust the wheels that are placed on the track, either by cleaning them or spraying them with mineral oil to make sure they are freely moving again. You may also have to tap a bent track using a hammer, or otherwise realign the wheels. Another reason the door may stick is because the track is dirty or filled with debris. To fix this, push the doors all the way to the side so that they are folded and the track is accessible.
Use a small brush or edge attachment or a vacuum to clean any debris out of the track. If dirt remains, spray a cleaner on the track and use a sponge to wipe it away.Spray the track with mineral oil or WD40 so that the wheels and door will slide smoothly. Move the door back and forth several times to evenly distribute the lubricant along the track. Bifold doors are constructed with two panels that are held together by hinges, and these can occasionally cause the doors to stick. If the panels are sticking when the doors are opened and closed, carefully spray some mineral oil or WD40 along the hinges and work the doors open and closed several times. Wipe any excess lubricant away from the panels. Hinges can also become clogged with debris. It may be helpful to clean the hinges occasionally to remove any accumulated dust or dirt from the hinges and keep them in good working condition. Bifold Door Is Loose When a bifold door opens or closes poorly, adjusting it is usually easy.
On the “hinge” side of the door, a pin at the door’s bottom corner typically rests in a floor bracket, and a spring-mounted pin at the top corner engages a sliding bracket that locks into the track. If the folding door’s hardware is missing or damaged, you’ll need to replace it. You can buy folding door hardware online. When the door drags or pops out of its track, it usually means that one of these two pivots has moved. making sure its upper guide roller is in the track. 2Check the bottom corner pivot pin. Be sure it’s properly engaged in the floor bracket and adjusted to allow about 1/16-inch clearance from the jamb at the bottom corner of the door when the door is closed. To adjust its position, lift the door upward (the top pin is spring-loaded to allow this). 3Check the top pivot pin. A very common occurrence is that the sliding bracket has loosened and has slid out of position. Align it so the hinge side of the door is plumb, with about 1/16-inch clearance from the jamb when closed, and tighten the sliding bracket into the track.
4Adjust the hinge side of the door up or down by turning the bottom pin, which is threaded like a bolt. With some types, you must first lift it out of the floor bracket. When the door is loose and wobbly, one of the pivot pins has probably worn away at its seat in the door (a hole) and come loose. The fix is to remove the pin, fill the hole with a dowel plug, and then re-drill a hole near the same location. 1Lift the door up and out at the bottom to remove it. 2Pull the loose pivot pin out of its hole. 3Enlarge the hole with a drill or hole saw so that it’s perfectly round and will receive a wooden dowel plug. 4Spread glue onto the dowel plug, and tap it into the hole. Wipe away any excess glue. 5Cut off the dowel, making sure it is flush with the door. 6Drill a new hole to receive the pivot pin. If the pin is damaged, replace it.Adjust bi-fold doors for smooth operation and attractive appearance. On occasion, a do-it-yourself enthusiast may install a set of bi-fold doors only to find it's difficult to correctly adjust the doors.
In some cases, the seam is uneven where the doors close together, the top edges don’t line up, or a door rubs when opened or closed. Many floors are not exactly level at the area of a doorway, and this is not always easy to see. If you followed the manufacturer’s instructions without success, the problem is most likely an uneven floor. Professional installers use a proven procedure to adjust bi-fold doors to uneven floors. Start by centering the doors in the opening. Open each pair of doors three quarters of the way to expose the set screws on the adjusters at the bottom brackets that contact the floor and the upper brackets at the outer ends of the top track. Loosen the set screws on each adjuster with a screwdriver just enough so the tops and bottoms of the doors can be moved to the right or left 1/2-inch with minimum pressure but remain when moved. In some cases, it may take a few attempts to determine the tightness of the set screws. Measure the distance across the top of the door opening from side to side.
Divide this in half and mark the outer edge of the upper jamb at the center of the opening. Repeat this and mark the floor at the center of the opening from side to side. Cut two 4-by-4-inch pieces of random cardboard with a utility knife or fabric shears to make spacer shims. Close one door and move it, as necessary, so the innermost edge aligns with the center mark on the jamb and floor. Hold a shim flat against the innermost edge of the door near the top and close the opposite door. Move the opposite door, as necessary, so its upper edge is tight against the shim. Insert the remaining shim near the bottom of the gap between the doors and move the opposite door, as necessary, so the lower shim remains in place. Open both doors three quarters of the way and tighten the set screws on the upper and lower adjusters. Check the horizontal alignment at the top of the doors at the center of the opening. The doors are adjusted when the top corners of the innermost doors are even. Locate the adjuster pins that insert into the brackets at the lower, outside edge of each door.
