Bifold doors are attractive functional doors that are known for their easy installation. The doors have pivot points at the top and bottom of one side that remain stationary while the other end of the doors have rollers that glide to open and close. Unfortunately, these doors are also very easy to pull off track. However, they can be placed back on the tracks very easily, and often with no special tools required. Does this Spark an idea?
