Thank you for showing how to repair a bifold door. What I have is a missing door and do not know what size door to purchase as a replacement. The opening is 35" X 80" but some space on each end is needed for a proper fit. How should I determine the width of a new door? Robert
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel 2 года назад
HI.. Yea the opening is a bit small. I'm not sure if they ever had a door there. The door sizes go from 30 to 36. It's possible you might be able to special order a 34 inch door, but it'd probably be expensive. If it were me, I'd get a 36" door and rip 3/4 off each side to make it 34.5. A table saw will give the best straightest results. Problem is, the wood strips on the perimeter of the door are probably about 3/4 thick so the hollow core will probably be exposed. You can take a chisel and chip off the two surfaces of the wood permitter to make it fit again and just glue it back. You can use small staples or something like that to reinforce it. I know this is not an ideal fix, but other than that, you'll have to re-do the opening to fit the right size door.

If you reverse the plate and install it flush with the end of the door, it is designed to place the hole in the correct spot.
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel Год назад
Not sure its designed that way... I'd rather have it in the position shown since there will be much more "meat" for the screws to grab to... 😀
@BarryThistlethwaite
@BarryThistlethwaite Год назад
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel That is exactly how it is designed. Placing it properly as designed also places the screw hole over the wood at the edge of the door where it will be securely held, not over the MDF that is used in cheap bifold doors between the wooden edge pieces.

@@BarryThistlethwaite I actually measured the distance from end of door to where the pin is, and the distance on the bracket and they were a little off, so that wouldn't exactly work just that easy without a modification...
@BarryThistlethwaite
@BarryThistlethwaite Год назад
@@TheHomeImprovementChannel Too bad. Perhaps it's coincidence, but lining the plate up flush with the end of the door on my two bifold doors placed the pinhole exactly over the original pivot holes, with the screw hole just far enough from the edge of the door to hold it fast when screwed into the wood. No alteration needed. My doors are older, wooden bifold doors with no MDF. A month later, they're working perfectly.

My pivot pin on the bottom broke but there is no solid piece on the bottom the screw the plate into. It is just a hallow door and it had a tiny piece of particle board to hold the pivot pin but that broke. How would I attach the plate???
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel 9 месяцев назад
Yikes! If it were me, I'd cut a section out of the bottom of the door 3 or 4 inches long... leaving the skin on the door front and back so your just taking out the bottom hollow part and put in a piece of solid wood there. Glue it in with some real good wood glue... then you won't need a plate, you'll have a fresh surface to put the original pivot pin into. You could tack the wood in with some small staples or finish nails if you want to to help the glue.

Do you mean the pivot pin has come out of it's plastic housing, and the housing is still in the door? If so, sometimes you can push it back in, but I'm not sure if that what you mean...

The bottom of the door on mine is a screw, not a pivot. My problem is nothing seems to be broken, It just seems the door isn't large/tall enough for the space because once you secure the bottom, and try to lift up the top to fit the upper pivot and wheel, the bottom then comes out 😡 yet....it fit fine obviously at some point because it just started acting up, and then came out when I tried to mess with it. No screws or parts are missing or fell off or anything though. Im beyond frustrated and don't want to have to hire a handyman for $100+ an hour for something I could do if I just knew what the damn problem is! PLEASE HELP!!!
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel 16 дней назад
HI! Obviously without seeing it, I'll have to guess. 1. Have you tried to unscrew the bottom pivot to raise up the door to the proper level? 2. If you have try taking off the door and setting it aside. You can remove the bracket that's on the bottom where the pivot goes and put a block of wood under it for however thick you think it needs to be to get the door high enough. Yea you'll have a big gap on the bottom, but at least the door will work again. Let me know if any of that helps. Thanks.

Too bad the bracket isn’t readily available in stores 😢 Would filling the hole with wood filler or caulk suffice?
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel Год назад
Not really if you're going to re-use the same hole and put the pivots back in... You could cut out a section completely and glue in a piece of wood in place of it. I'd cut out at least a 6" section so that you'll have enough meat to anchor it to and redrill the wood in the same place as the original was. To cut across the door, you know the 1 3/8 side, you might have to use a small drill bit and drill several tiny holes and then use a chisel to break it loose..
@beenheredoneit.4381
@beenheredoneit.4381 Год назад
I don’t see why you can’t fill the hole with jb quick or metal putty filler. Then drill hole same size as pin needs. The auto part store sells few different kind of fillers in tubes. You knead them with your fingers to mix compound. Then push into hole and redrill with size needed for pin.

How you measure if it gonna fit your door
@TheHomeImprovementChannel
@TheHomeImprovementChannel Год назад
So say it's a 48 inch opening by 81 high... that's going to fit two 24" doors... Most doors are 18, 24, 30, 36 and they're all about 79 tall. So your opening can be slightly larger, but not smaller. For example for a 48" opening, your opening can be 48 1/2, but not 47 1/2.... can be a little taller than 81, but not 80 ... it'll wind up to short. Hope that makes sense.
