I can honestly say I am extremely impressed and my spirit is inspired by your video. I had no idea that when the video said build bifold doors that you would actually be showing your craft and skill. I thought it would be just another installation how to video for us DIYERS. Very informative and educational video
Currently replicating this design thanks to you. Couldn’t find doors with dimensions that fit 2 closets of mine. Got multiple quotes for materials and labor and it was wayyyy out of my budget. Luckily, I already have all the tools to do this. Great video and solutions to those pesky dimension openings!! Thank you so much.
Thanks for this tutorial. I want to do the same type of frame, but with lattice in the middle as a screen. You should add a few instructions, though, about marking the position where you put the middle board and for the handles. A lot o newbies don't know that.
thanks for sharing your approach to making this kind of door :) Probably there are a few people who will point out that this is not a true shaker method of assembly, but your results look just fine and serve their purpose. Well done 👍
It would have been useful if you opened the doors after installation to see the final result. Also can't find the link to the bifold kit you purchased from lowes?
Great job. If you want a stronger hold on the next set use pocket holes with plugs on the inside of the doors. This would hold much better than Brad nails. Side note, how have these doors held up?
Great job! Easy, elegant and not extremely priced. I have opted to go this route, because I can't understand why the price of these doors are so extreme. I need 5 sets, so at least these won't break the bank.
I love this. Thank you, thank you for sharing. I wanted to buy some custom bifold doors but they totaled around $600. I would rather buy the tools and learn myself for other future projects as well. Awesome job girl! Keep it up!
I began making my own bifold doors after watching this video , but wanted to know what paint sprayer you used because I'm not super interested in using a roller and brush for painting 5 sets of doors.
Hi! What was the exact wood selection for the framing and panel sheets? the strips are found with LxWxH. Trying to narrow it down. Love what you did girl!
That is amazing! I love how the floor tiles complements the gold on the door pulls. Your doors look better than some I've seen online. You're right about the price: I wanted to replace a bifold louvered closet door with something solid (so I won't have to dust that door every other day😂) and I was surprised at how much those doors cost. I decided to keep the louvered door and just dust it once a week.
Are you glueing the frame on your dining room table…dang and you typically don’t glue center panels in to allow for movement due to temperature changes.
These came out nice but they are not bifold, which is what I was looking for. Bi-fold is 2 doors connected via a hinge and on a track, and they fold open. Hence the name.
I don’t think you watched to the very end, those are indeed bifold doors. I’ve never seen anyone put two handles on a single bifold, but I guess you can do whatever you like if you custom build your own.
