Visit this site for side-mount and non-track mounting http://jhusa.net/fdindex.aspx Just wish I could attach all four of my 12″ doors to open to one side.

Hi Karen,
Hollow core doors have an inch or two wide piece of solid wood around the edges, so if you are going to only cut off a small amount (less than an inch), you can use them. When cutting off larger amounts, you should use a solid door.
Good luck with your project.

Do you have to buy a solid door to cut it to size…

Since you are only covering the existing recessed slider opening with a board, does the board now become the “support” for the new bi-folds?
Since it seems you will be installing the new track on a board directly below the recessed track.
What thickness board is req’d?

IF YOU CANNOT LIFT THE DOORS HIGH ENOUGH TO GET THEM OUT OF THE BOTTOM BRACKET, THE ADJUSTMENT PIN ON THE BOTTOM HAS BEEN “TIGHTENED” (UNSCREWED) TO NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO SLIP OUT. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO “SCREW” THEM INTO THE DOOR (OR UPWARDS) WHICH WILL SHORTEN THE BOTTOM PIN AND ALLOW YOU TO LIFT THE DOORS UP AND OUT OF THE BRACKET. IT MAY REQUIRE A WRENCH TO DO SO.

I have a 8 foot wide closet and want to put in bifold doors. I bought 4 24 inch doors and the sales man said their would be no problem attaching them together. Well I want the doors to open toward both sides of the closet and do not want them to swivel from the center of the closet opening because I have built in drawers. Anyone had run across this issue?

Hey Laura, I have the same problem… when I lift up to pull door back the white plastic piece stays in the track on the bottom… I can’t figure any way to get the doors out… anyone have any answers?

I can’t get the sliding doors off the track! There is no “button” to push to release them, there is no “hole” to align them with to have them slide off and lifting them up isn’t an option because the wheels won’t come over the guard that keeps them in the track. Any suggestions? I’m totally confused.
