Each door is made of two hinged panels and the top of the doors slide within a track. The mounting hardware is at the top of the door. There is also hardware at the bottom of the door that allows the door to pivot open. Accordian doors completely fold out of the way and are installed in a similar manner to bifold doors. DK - Do It Yourself Home Improvement, 2009 Dorling Kindersley Limited Install the top guide track to the head jamb of the door opening (Image 1). Use the hardware provided, or recommended by the manufacturer. Lay out the location for the pivot hardware on the floor directly below the top track. Secure the hardware to the floor (Image 2). Attach the pivot hardware to the doors. Make sure the lower pivot hardware aligns with the hardware on the floor (Image 1). Attach the hardware to the top of the door. Align the top of the door with the track (Image 2). Begin to install the bifold doors by putting one door's bottom pivot point into the lower track socket (Image 1).
Insert the door's top pivot point into the top pivot socket inside the track (Image 2). Secure the door in place. If the top pivot point is spring loaded, retract the pivot point, place it into position and release it (Image 3). Attach the door brackets on the inside edge of each door to allow for the doors to close snug (Image 4). If your doors don't have predrilled holes for the knobs, measure, mark and predrill a hole. Insert the hardware through the hole and attach the knob (Image 1). The finished door should open and close smoothly. The doors should be plumb and level (Image 2). Make any adjustments using the lower pins and track sockets. Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top I am replacing a few interior doors and I need to know if the existing door is Right Handed or Left Handed so I have them drilled correctly. Sounds like the acronyms for this are RH and LH. This also would apply for new pre-hung doors as well I assume as they are all marked that way at the mega home improvement stores.
Not only besides RH or LH, you need to determine swing direction. Trust me, this needs to be agreed upon. When I built the additional room onto my house, I thought 84 Lumber understood the direction of door swing and they didn't. There is left inswing, right inswing, left outswing, and right outswing. The door handle on my exterior door is on the right-hand side, but it is considered a left-hand outswing. Whereas my front door swings in, and the handle is on the right hand side so it is considered a right-hand inswing. Make sure you know what you are buying before you spend the money! As a homeowner, I have installed many doors, and every time I do I have to re-learn how to "determine door swing". Just make sure you write it down before you order the door, it is easy to get confused again when you go to your local home improvement store. This website should help: First, the SIMPLE WAY to determine IF YOU ARE REPLACING AN EXISTING DOOR: With the door open, stand with your
back against the hinge jamb. left hand is nearer the doorknob, then the door is LEFT-HANDED. right hand is nearer the doorknob, then the door is RIGHT-HANDED. IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW DOOR AND JAMB IN A ROUGH OPENING: Decide which side of the frame will have theStand with your back against the hinge-side of the frame and extend an arm in the direction you wish the door to open. extended the left arm, then you need to order a LEFT-HANDED door set. you extended the right arm, then you need to order a RIGHT-HANDED door set. IF THE DOOR IS GOING TO BE AN EXTERIOR typically swing inward, outswinging exterior doors are available. sure to add "inswinging" or "outswinging" to your notes beforeif you are still confused, just Google: "determine door swing". whether a door is an exterior or iinterior door the designation is the same. Think of RH as right hinge. if the door is swinging away from you the hinge is on the right side.
for a left hinge door, if the door is swinging away from you the hinges are on the left side. Inswing or outswing only matters with exterior doors where they have a sill. The handing or hinging is still determined the same way. With the door closed, stand on the hinged side of the door. If you can see the hinges with the door closed you are on the hinged side of the door. If your left hand is closest to the door knob it is a left hand door. If your right hand is closest to the door knob it is a right hand door. This method works in the store where the doors are strapped shut. On exterior doors make sure some one didn't set the door down upside down; this will change things a bit. It's best explained on this page: Left Hand – Hinges on the left, opens inward. Left Hand Reverse – Hinges on the left, opens outward. Right Hand – Hinges on the right, opens inward. Right Hand Reverse – Hinges on the right, opens outward. Converting Comment to Answer:
Stand in such a way that the door will swing open towards you. The handedness of the door is the hand that one would naturally use to grab the doorknob to pull the door open. Inswing and outswing have to do with the way the jamb is constructed and the orientation of the lock bolt. If you're installing interior doors in an existing frame, and doing the lockset yourself, then there's no need to worry about in and out swings. If you're ordering pre-hung interior doors, again it doesn't matter, but make sure you're standing on the right side of the opening when you make your decision. I modified 0A0D's image with some "L --- ^ --- R" labels . The V or ^ indicates which way you are facing. When you pull the door towards you, which side is the door knob on? If you can't pull the door, you're on the wrong side. Anyone who gives you a longer answer than that is either confused or pulling your leg. protected by Niall C.
