Sheeze ... just looked these up - he said approx $45 per pk of doors ... same doors now (3 years later) are $94 .... all the more reason to get your skills in order. Great explanation on how to do this!

Great Video. Saved me a couple of hundred dollars by not having to get full custom doors for a basic clothes closet.

Great video do you recall the height of your opening. I am using the exact same ones. My opening was 80 inches. But they did not quite fit …to tight. So I am going to cut the bottom by 3/4 of an inch.

Great video - this is my exact issue! I did have a question that the video unfortunately didn't answer, though: how do you trim the tracks??
@ThinkMakeDo
@ThinkMakeDo Год назад
tracks are usualyl aluminum or a thin steel. i just used a hand saw with a metal blade to cut them to size.

Great video! Have this same issue with a 47” door which will be an easier fix. Did you buy two 24” doors (two panels each) and then line up two separate sets of top/bottom tracks? Do you happen to have the spec for the HD door you used?

How would you adjust the track for the closet doors as well???
@ThinkMakeDo
@ThinkMakeDo 10 месяцев назад
the track is a aluminum, or thin steel. just use a metal saw blade to cut it to size. very simple, and a metal saw is like 5 to 10 dollars at your local home center.

Wait I need advice, my closet is 46” W (80”H) unfortunately they don’t sell 23” bifold doors anywhere! What should I do or where should I go? I don’t own a saw. I am a female, but I am great at home improvement, just never had a reason to have to trim the width of a bifold door, or any door really! I’m sure I can do it! But I need assistance, I don’t know what’s in the side of the bifold door…are they all hollow? If so do I keep the outer layer to replace it after? ETC!

Hi. You can buy a 48in closet door, and trim 1/2in on each side to bring the total width down to 46in. You’ll need a saw so either purchase or borrow for your situation. The sides of all doors have about 1.5in of material on the side walls

I have a 47" finished opening... so, I only need to loose 1/2" on each of the outer door (closest to the frame - not worried about the inner doors being 1/2" wider). I wouldn't need to worry about gluing and reinserting correct? Because I would still have about 1" of the outer wood support?
@ThinkMakeDo
@ThinkMakeDo Год назад
Hi, yeah for a 1/2 inch cut on either side, you should be fine. cut away!
