Fitting an Internal Bifold
We’re always happy to try and help here at Distinctive Doors, which is why we’ve created a step-by-step guide and instructional video to help you fit your internal bifold doors with ease. Take a look at our internal bifolds range to see what we have to offer.
In line with our Terms and Conditions our products are supplied OEM packaged and installation should only be carried out by a competent installer or advanced DIYer with plenty of previous installation experience. We are not able to teach you or instruct you how to install doors by simply including a manual or video. DO NOT attempt installation if you are not conversant and experienced.
Along with the fittings included in your packet, you will need
- A mallet.
- A pencil.
- A flat blade screwdriver.
- A PZ2 screwdriver.
- A tape measure.
- A combination square.
- A 3mm (0.1") (0.1") pilot bit.
- A PZ2 cordless screwdriver, but this is optional as it can also be done by hand.
Step One
Mark the frame head 19mm (¾") (¾") from the front edge.
Step Two
Fit the top track to the frame head with the front of the track on the marks you made using the dome head screws supplied.
Step Three
You may need to temporarily move the stop in order to access the holes in the track for the screws.
Step Four
Mount the bottom pivot bracket to the frame floor. Ensure the pivot bracket hole is directly below the pivot in the top track.
Step Five
Insert the bottom fixed pivot in the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the door. Be sure to orientate the doors correctly so that they open as desired.
Step Six
Insert the top spring pivots into the pre-drilled holes in the top of both door leaves.
Step Seven
Position the bottom fixed pivot in the bottom pivot bracket. Then using the spring action, insert the top pivot into the top pivot bracket in the track.

Do the same for the sliding guide pen, inserting it into the track.
