Bifold Door Panel Configurations Explained

Panel count changes how the door parks

Odd and even groups can create different lead panels, hinges and stack arrangements. More panels may reduce individual panel width while increasing hardware and vertical joints.

Choose the daily-use path

A traffic panel can provide ordinary entry without folding the entire wall. Its handing, swing, lock, threshold and screen interaction should suit furniture and circulation.

Map the stack zone

Show the parked panels at full depth and width. Check wall returns, posts, railings, lights, counters, soffits, drapery and exterior landings.

Approve the viewing convention

State whether drawings are viewed from inside or outside. Mark left, right, inward, outward and primary handle location directly on the accepted order drawing.
