This is an incredibly simple way to stop dealing with the horrorshow that are bifold closet doors. I followed the steps and now LOVE opening my coat closet!

@ellierohleavitt5919 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your great video on how to switch a bifold closet door! I loved how you covered every step from removing the old trim to adding the door stop trim, and I love that you're a mom doing all this work around the house - you're inspiring me to hitch up my pants and do the same! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@Checkinginwithchelsea 11 месяцев назад

Aww you are too kind to share this sweet comment! Made my day! I always refer to 'putting on my big girl panties' when I need to do something I might not want to do.🤣You can do it!

@Sidward1990something Год назад

This is so cool! I really like my accordion style doors for my closets but they just don’t stay on anymore. This is a perfect way to reuse them and make them more functional and up to date.

@lsseaside7303 2 года назад

Excellent work!!! Your bifold change to open close closet doors. Gorgeous!!!

@nourishholisticnutrition3914 2 года назад

Just what I was looking for! Inexpensive and a modern update for our lousy, cheap bi fold doors.

@dginta7932 7 месяцев назад

Very nicely done! Super easy on the eyes too!

@KathyaKalinine 2 года назад

Love the end result. I love being able to repurpose wood products. Nice work!

Good feedback. Thank you! ~Chelsea

You did a great job. I love it. I'm having to uninstall what my hubby just did. He will not follow instructions. and you don't reason with this type of personality. Hello You just wait until they go to work and do it the right way. Your tips helped .thanks again

@TAndrew368 2 года назад

Dynamite idea, and video. Was looking at RU-vid to see how to remove my 1975 birch solid bifold doors. I looked at your video first, so I know what I am going to do now. Did you recess your new door hinges.?? Dummy knobs, brilliant. I love Durham's Water Putty, why do people use anything else. Great presentation by you , Thanks.

@Checkinginwithchelsea 2 года назад

Wow, Tom! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. ☺️I did not need to recess my door hinges. ~Chelsea

@miraw6433 2 года назад

@moninagautier8269 2 года назад

Hello and thanks for this video! Can this be done on metal doors?

@stevenorosz1518 2 года назад

😎 cool

@sandrahertel6282 Год назад

Nicely done, looks much better. I really don't like pocket doors. If you do not have the money to put in new doors, this is perfect. Reusing doors is fantastic.

@Checkinginwithchelsea Год назад

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

@73honda350 Год назад

Nice job. Because you used a ball catch, and because it's for just a closet, I would likely not even put on the stop strips, or maybe just a short piece behind the ball catch socket plate. Other than that, the stops aren't needed to stop the door or provide security and privacy.

@vna3363 8 месяцев назад

Love it! Sliding door are so annoying. What was your total cost?

@Bridgez777 2 года назад

Neat idea! **Did u make the trundle? I just made one that looks similar but I’ve like your sons better☺️

@rconach Год назад

Your final result looks great! I’m impressed with your carpentry skills! Where did you learn them?

@Checkinginwithchelsea Год назад

Trial and error and tricks from my dad over the years!☺

@colleenjohnson4116 2 года назад

You are so cute, dancing with your tools! Haha Doors turned out great Chelsea 👍🏻

@smclavey 11 месяцев назад

What grit sandpaper do you use to prep for paint?

@qwertytrewq22 Год назад

What is the width of each door? What is the total width of the finished opening? Looks awesome!

@sabrinaking119 6 месяцев назад

My trifolds do not sit flush against the walls on the side. What do you suggest I add to make them flush before doing this project?

@taylorbrianne13 10 дней назад

So you do not have to create a mortise for the hinges?

@paulstephens9274 2 года назад

Also my doors fairly light weight so trying 11/2” mid weight hinges ?

@msjoy2005 Год назад

What I was looking for! But could have used more details. What size wood strips did you use on the frame?

@Checkinginwithchelsea Год назад

I include more details on my website!: checkinginwithchelsea.com/video/how-to-convert-bi-fold-doors/

@paulstephens9274 2 года назад

Was it necessary to side leg jams

@caridadmartinez0948 10 месяцев назад

Where do you buy the door lock on top ?

@alirE2904 Год назад

What is the brand of the nail gun. I dont see air hoses.

@kimschroeder7561 2 года назад

what jig system do you recommend for this project?

@Checkinginwithchelsea 2 года назад

You could get away with something as simple as this (plus a clamp): affiliate link homedepot.sjv.io/c/1980335/456723/8154?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FKreg-Pocket-Hole-Jig-KPHJ310%2F310410042%3FITC%3DAUC-129843-23-12140 But if you enjoy doing projects around your house at all, you will get so much use out of a more robust jig like the one I used: homedepot.sjv.io/c/1980335/456723/8154?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FKreg-Pocket-Hole-Jig-520PRO-KPHJ520PRO%2F313671513%3FITC%3DAUC-102934-23-12140

@powerofknowledge7771 Год назад

Water puddy? What is it and where can you get it? I've never heard of it before

@Checkinginwithchelsea Год назад

It's the best way to patch a hole in wood! Overfill just a tad and sand nice and flush with the surrounding area. You can find it in the paint department! Here is an affiliate link: bit.ly/3QG8N8t

@el3103 Год назад

Where did u get the storage system inside the closet?

@Checkinginwithchelsea Год назад

It's made from wood and was here when we bought the house! This video shows you how to build your own closet shelves: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5I9pluECCU.html
