If the doors are not hanging properly or are misaligned, make the necessary adjustments to ensure they operate smoothly.

Applying Finishing Touches

Add any finishing touches, such as paint or trim, to complete the installation and enhance the appearance of your bi-fold doors.

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your bi-fold doors. Keep the tracks clean and lubricated to prevent issues with operation.
