Installation instructions for bifold doors

From outside the closet, check the alignment. Adjust the track hardware as necessary to keep the reveal around the doors even. For flat doors, measure 36 inches from the floor on each leading door.

Then mark the center, side-to-side, at that height. For paneled doors, find the center of the middle rail instead. Hold a straightedge diagonally from corner to corner on the rail, draw a line in the middle, then switch to the other diagonal and cross the line. The X marks the rail's center.

Cut a piece of 1x2 stock the width of the closet opening to conceal the track. Prime the trim and let it dry. Fill the screw holes, then paint the trim to match the casing.
