Operation of Bifold Doors

Bifold doors consist of hinged panels that fold up effortlessly into a concertina-like stack to open up a wall’s reveal. They close by unfolding and expanding the stack of panes to seal off the open space. While the folding action of the stack is concertina- or accordion-like, it’s important to note that panels of bifold doors are not always interconnected..

Easy Effortless Use

For effortless ease of use, Door City’s bifolds, which consist of an uneven number of panels, feature a flapper door. The flapper is a door panel that’s detached from its counterparts, thereby providing a simple separate, lockable door for easy entry / exit, without unbolting all the conjoined panels. Our relevant website images best illustrate this and other bifold concepts and configurations.

  • Wall opening – 16000mm
  • Door height – 3000mm

Why Bifold
