Bifold doors

Open the whole closet, fold almost flat.

CDM bifolds run on a top track and pivot left or right, so there is no track on the floor. Opened, they take up just 5½″ of closet space.

Features

Quiet, reliable, and staying closed.

CDM bifolds stay closed and don't pop open slightly the way lesser doors do.

  1. 01

    Patented cam hinges

    The TruClose cam-action hinge is quiet and reliable, keeps the doors securely closed, and carries a lifetime warranty.

  2. 02

    No floor track

    A top track carries the doors. An oak saddle is optional, so whether to use one is your choice.

  3. 03

    Folds nearly flat

    Opened, a bifold sits at the edge of the closet and takes up just 5½″, maximizing accessible space.

  4. 04

    Half the swing

    Because they split in half as they open, bifolds project into the room only half as far as a swinging door, which suits tight rooms and hallways.

  5. 05

    Adjustable

    Vertical and horizontal adjustment, plus a patented adjustable bottom pivot, for out-of-square, settled or uneven openings.

  6. 06

    Reversible

    Many configurations are available to fit all openings, with aluminum tracks rather than steel.

Access

Nearly the whole closet.

Bifolds give more access to the closet than sliders. With 2- or 4-panel bifolds you can reach the entire closet.

5½″ The space an opened 2- or 4-panel bifold takes up inside the closet.

Panel count

2, 4, 6 or 8 panels, pivoting from a fixed point.

Bifolds are not accordion doors. Larger and in-between sizes may offer more than one panel count, shown as choices in the door designer.

Two-panel bifold shown opening to the left and to the right
2 panel. Opens left or right; full access.
Four-panel bifold folded open from the center
4 panel. Opens from the center; full access.
Six-panel bifold with one pair and one single door open
6 & 8 panel. Some spots stay partially covered.

A 6-panel unit will not open up completely like an accordion: one set of doors opens away from each other to form a large opening, and a single door operates independently.

Saddle & flooring

Any floor, your choice of finish.

The optional oak saddle gives a finished look and can be stained or painted to match your floor. It makes installation easier and helps keep dust out of the closet and belongings in.

Carpet, tile or laminate running into the closet? Bifolds install directly onto the floor, with an extra 5/8″ gap beneath the doors. Can't drill into the floor, as with concrete? A jamb bracket mounts into the wall or jamb instead. For an extra charge, panels can be lengthened to close the gap.

Before you order

Bifold questions.

How do I measure for a bifold?

Doors are made to fit a finished opening, not to the panel sizes you want. Measure the height in three places and the width in three places, and use the smallest values. CDM doors are True to Fit: we do the calculations for you.

Bifold or slider?

Sliders are typically used in hallways or tight spaces where no door can swing into the room. Bifolds take up less space than a conventional door when opened, and give you more access to the closet than sliders.

Do I have to choose a saddle?

Yes. For bifolds you must choose what goes on your floor: the oak saddle, a floor plate directly on the floor, or a jamb bracket. Look at the gaps under the other doors in your home to decide what suits your closet.

What hardware is included?

Patented cam-action hinges, aligners that keep double units flush, an adjustable patented bottom pivot, heavy-duty top pivots and rollers, and extruded aluminum components. The low-profile extruded aluminum handle comes in chrome or white to match your track and trim.

Installation

Install it yourself, or hire an installer.

Your experience, tools and door configuration will help you decide. Watch the video for your door type.
