WOODEN BIFOLD DOORS

10 years ago

I'm installing 4 panels of wooden bifold doors, 2 on either side. Should I expect gaps between the walls and the door and gap where the 2 sides of bifold meet? Will good workmanship prevent gaps?

I would expect gaps. It is the nature of a bi-fold door.

You should not expect gaps anywhere. We custom make our doors in Germany, so it fits the opening perfectly.

I would seriously consider replacing the cabinets before putting a new granite countertop on them. The problem is that no one will remove the countertop at a later date if you want to change the cabinets, due to the possibility of breakage. The only choice you will have then is a reface. Adding new doors, drawer fronts, and veneered sides is just a facelift. You could also add new hardwood drawers with undermount cushion close slides, but by the time you do this if will be the same cost as new cabinets now. The cabinets you have now, frameless, particle board sides are notorious for having the hinge screws strip out the particle board they are attached to. Since you can't put a longer screw in them, because the material is only 3/4" of an inch thick you have a problem. You also can't put a wider screw in them because it won't fit through the pre-drilled holes in the hinges.

If you're worried about wood shrinking, you can ask the builder what kind of wood he would recommend for minimal shrinking.

Hello there :) Nice design by the way. Perhaps you can: 1. Change the door panels only. Keep the existing shape & the cupboards, the carpenter can 'update' the doors with different handles too (like image above). 2. Spray paint is more $$$ but I think it is longer lasting. 3. Laminated is less $$ but as we all know it chips & eventually the laminate comes out (wear & tear). 4. Unless you want the inside of the cabinet to be changed from existing white to a different colour, then the carpenter have to dismantle everything & redo. So more $$$$ Hope this helps & Happy shopping!

You can see from the pics below there are very small gaps, to allow the door to swing a bit, but if they are not custom doors the gaps can be larger. You can add a small piece of trim to make them less noticeable. But to me it sounds like the doors were hung incorrectly.

Good point @Kelly. I didn't think of interior doors. Which makes a lot more sense for this question. I was just thinking, how crazy it would be for gaps to be present on an exterior folding door unit. #Mondays!
