I could not find any local bifold hardware sets that came with another top bracket, so we had to purchase that separately, although I see Amazon has a great set where the top bracket comes with it. We still needed another set of bifold hardware (often listed as a bifold repair kit). It came with a 36 inch track and one set of bifold hardware. The door is part of Metrie’s Logan collection of 2 panel doors, and is made of MDF. Since we didn’t have a door to fit our opening of 36 x 80 inches, we ordered this bifold door from Lowes. Simply remove your doors and the track to begin. But you’ll also need a second set of bifold hardware and another top bracket.
As well, you’ll already have one set of hardware and the bifold track. If you already have an existing bifold closet door on your closet that you want to transform into double doors, that’s great! You already know it fits.

But the internet seems to call any set of double doors, French doors) How to Turn a Bifold Door into French Doors Since we couldn’t use them, we decided to use bifold hardware! (Side note – I’m not even sure that calling them French doors makes sense since they don’t have glass. Most online tutorials for turning a bifold into two French doors use hinges. We could have built a jamb, but I decided that we needed the maximum opening space to get into the closet.
The closet also begins flush with the left wall, further making space for hinges difficult. This seemed like it would be the ideal solution.īecause the closet does not have a jamb, hinges were going to be a challenge. I recalled that in a previous apartment we lived in, the hall closet had a set of narrow pivoting doors. But I definitely didn’t want to put a typical bifold door back in. I also knew I wanted something more substantial than a curtain. It would open too wide, and I needed to put furniture closer to the closet than that. I knew that I didn’t want a single 36″ width door. The opening is 36″ x 80″ with many deviations from level throughout. That limited our choices for a closet door. Our closet is unique in that it doesn’t have a door frame/jamb. Keep reading to find out how we updated our boring bifold door.
