Drill a hole into the door at the marked position all the way through to the other side. The supplied door knobs require a 5mm wood drill bit. Open the door and screw the knob into place whilst holding the nut on the back of the door. For decorative purposes, you could also add a matching door knob to the other door. An aligner bracket and two screws are supplied with each bi-fold door, and these brackets are only required when two sets of doors are fitted together.
Once fitted, they simply dovetail together when the two pairs of doors are closed. To fit the liner brackets, close the doors, and from the inside, mark a 4cm pencil line about mm up from the bottom of the door, across both the doors where they meet. Position the first aligner on the line as shown and mark the two fixing holes. Drill a couple of pilot holes with a 2mm drill bit, being careful not to drill all the way through the door. Repeat for the other door.
How to fit internal bi-fold doors in your home In small rooms where every inch of space counts, bi-folding doors are a great choice to make the most of your home. Measure your space Before choosing your bi-fold door, reach for your tape measure and see what size door you need.

Place the leading inner door on edge, facing back-to-back with the first door. Align the doors evenly against a square, then put the hinges together. Screw the hinge plates to the leading door. Repeat on the second pair of doors. Fasten the pivot plates the pins that fit into the track and the floor bracket , and the locking arms the hooks that slide along the track to the top and bottom of each set of doors.
The pivot plates go on the tops and bottoms of the jamb—side doors, and the locking arm on the tops of the leading doors. Each kit requires its hardware to be uniquely positioned, so check the diagrams that come with yours for exact measurements and placements.
These will tell you, for example, not only how far a pivot plate should be from the door edges around it but also where its pin should be in relation to the door's edges. Adhering to all the given dimensions ensures that no piece goes on backward.
Use a hacksaw to cut the track to length to fit the closet opening. Slide the hanging hardware into the track—the small stops in the center, then around them the track hangers with wheels, and finally the pivot socket on the outside.
Attach the track to the door header with the screws provided. Position the track 1 inch in from the front edge of the header. This will give you enough room to hide the track with trim without limiting the door action. Tip: Don't tighten the hardware onto the track.
It will be easier to hang the doors later if the pieces are loose. Use the measurements supplied by the manufacturer to position the floor bracket next to the door jamb. Hang a plumb bob from the center of the track above the floor bracket to align the pin hole in the bracket front to back. This will ensure that the doors are plumb when installed. Outline the bracket in pencil to mark its exact location. Bring the doors to the track and lift the jamb side to hook the pin of the top pivot plate into the pivot socket.
Make sure the pin is all the way in, then push the lever on the side of the socket to lock it in place. Slot the pin from the track hanger into the locking arm on the leading door. Twist the arm to lock it into place.
With the doors closed, swing them forward enough to catch the floor bracket in the bottom pivot pin. Swing the doors back into place and align the floor bracket with the pencil marks. Use a flexible bit extender to screw down the bracket.
Hang the other set of doors.
