Great video....I do have a question tho'. I have a single fold door in front of our pantry, and I was wondering if it could be switched around so that it opens on the opposite side. Can you help?
Patrick Riley Hi, depending on the door, you should be able to pull out the pins from the top and bottom and switch them. Then change the bracket. If you can't figure it out, send me a picture. We also have a weekly podcast. Here is a link www.stitcher.com/s?fid=49441&refid=stpr
Thanks for the tips. In my case, the top corner holding pin has come off with the spring. Can you advise on how to remove the sleeve which seems to be stuck to the door. If i can get the sleeve out, then probably i will take the set to the hardware store to get the replacement.
Hi, you can try screwing in a long or wide screw into the sleeve till it grabs and pull it out with a pliers. You can use a bolt extractor sized to the sleeve. We have more tips in our home improvement book amzn.com/B01MRGO8C5
Question: the roller on top is fine, but the wood split on the door. Once I remove the rolller, how do i insert it a few inches over? Like how do I drill that exact kind of hole?
Hi, you generally want the hole in the same place. You can fill the split and hole in the door with wood filler, then drill a new hole with a drill bit. Check out some home improvement tips in our e-books www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2KW1FQ9?notRedirectToSDP=1&.
Good and simple.....👍... Good job, however ..poorly designed doors and pivots..... That is why they all fall apart after awhile. They should have metal reinforcements around them pivots and rollers.
Great video, the problem the i have is that the part that i need to replace you said i need to know the size before go to the store, but this door has both that are lose because are not the right size so i need to get smaller ones ...how many different sizes are available? i have no idea what Im doing, can you please give me some advice, Thank You!!!
Hi, If you take the old parts with you to the hardware store and explain the size you need, they will be able to direct you to the right parts. Many local hardware stores that do window repair and services should have someone knowledgeable. If you are still having a problem drop me a picture at fixitpodcast@gmail.com.

Everything on top works fine, but I have a door that the hole for stationary pin is broken and pin won't stay in. Can it be repaired or have to buy whole new door?
Can you please tell me how to fix the other piece the one that you said is spring loaded and holds the door in place? That is broken on mine and I don’t know how to fix it. My door has fallen down.
Hi, I would take the parts to a local hardware store and they will want you through the steps and get you the correct replacement parts. I've found most hardware stores to be very helpful.
tranquilnight Hi, if you want to remove top pivot, most are held in place with a set screw. Remove or loosen that screw and twist out the bracket. You pick a new one up at the hardware store. If they don't have your style, have them look it up in their warehouse and order one for you. Let me know if that helps. We also have a weekly podcast.

I have a bifold door with the roller and pivot not aligned between each other, door does not close smoothtly. I need to replace the roller because I broke it down while I tried to pull it out. What can I use to refill the hole and drill close by it to replace the roller at the right distance? Thanks a lot and I hope you understand my English!!!
entropiainfinita Hi, if you are drilling close to a hole you fill, I would use a 2 part epoxy. It will create a solid patch. Let me know how it goes. We also have a weekly podcast. Here is a link www.stitcher.com/s?fid=49441&refid=stpr
Hi, Yes, they should have a pivot kit. If you don't see it, ask them to look it up and order it for you. This is where a local hardware store is very helpful.
Question: some workers removed the door and I'm trying to put it back up. It seems something is missing because there's nothing in the door frame for the pivot pin to insert into. All I see is an empty track. What do I do? Also, on another set of doors I have metal brackets screwed into the door where they meet about 6 inches off the floor. What are those for?
Hi, you need to have a top bracket in the track. You can pick up parts at the hardware store, or they can order it for you.The metal pieces at the bottom of the door align the panels.
Glad it was helpful. I would adjust the top bracket so the door is plumb. Should do the trick. We have more home improvement tips on our weekly podcast castbox.fm/u/6389499.
I have a set of double bifold doors that I recently took apart and replaced much of the hardware. I am now trying to reassemble them but am having a problem putting them back up. I know that they go back up. but my pivot and spring on the top only go in the door with the handle . Is it me or am I in the twilight zone going crazy.

Thank you for the video! The problem I am having is the initial spring loaded part you push down will not go down more that about 1/4 inch on my door. It's loose, wobbly and the plastic ring has fallen down to the top of the door. Any help in solving this issue would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time!
I have two bifold doors, which I have no idea how to fix. The bottom wood, which has the stationary pieceslid up on one door and completely broke on on the other door. I am talking about the wood piece that the rollers sit on, so how do I fix that?
+John Phillips I did not fix it. I just flipped the door over, and used the other side, the top is now on the bottom and the portion on the bottom that broke is now on top.
Cathy Helsley Hi, If there is something to grab, I would use a locking pliers to pull it out. If not, you can drill into the piece and then turn a screw into the hole. Now grab the screw with a pliers and pull it out. You don't want to widen the hole for the new piece. Let me know if that helps. We also have a weekly podcast on iTunes and Stitcher.

My doors are constantly coming off the track. Even after the roller and spring has been replaced. When my husband replaced it, there is a roller and spring that he put where there should be a pivot. I am so frustrated because the doors are always coming off! Would you happen to know why?
Usually the roller, but also sometimes the roller (where the pivot should be according to your video). It's actually quite dangerous, because the doors are heavy and they can potentially fall on someone. I'm really trying to solve this problem because the doors still look nice and I really don't want to have to replace them. Plus if there's a way to find a solution to this problem, I can fix them myself, and take the burden off my hardworking husband! Thank you in advance for any advice.
Hi, at the end of the door, the pivot should be firmly into the bracket. You may have to adjust the bottom pivot pin up or higher so the top pivot is locked in place. That would be the first step and that may solve your problem, by raising the overall height of the door so it sets into the upper track better.
I've noticed that my closet bifold doors are not flush with each other in the center where the doors meet. The right side sticks out 5/8" at the bottom. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.
gremlinsbreath Hi, it will take a little tweaking of sliding the top and bottom bracket back and forth till you get the proper spacing. You may have to adjust where the pins are inserted in the bracket or even move the bracket and rescrew it into the jamb. You may also have to adjust the panel aligner by bending it.
FIX IT Home Improvement Channel Yeah, I've taken the door off and it appears that the casing at the bottom of the doorway isn't straight. It's off just enough to turn the the guide at the bottom outward so the top lines up but the bottom doesn't. I'm going to attempt to twist the back of the guide to bring it back into alignment. Thank for the reply.
opening & closing are fine,, it's that the one door folds too far in ...in others words when I open the door the middle of the door folds out ,,, when I close the door the middle of the door , instead of the 2 halves being even they go too far in as if they were being opened the other way (inside out), BTW we have the same wood doors as in the video. Thank you
I have done that to no avail. I took a small piece of wood ,, stained it and with a tiny nail, nailed it between the sections so the doors can only go so far and that worked. (hope my wife doesn't notice,,, lol ! )thanks
I just tried to take out the roller pin at the top of the door with pliers, wrench, etc for about an hour. I can't. It's just jammed in there. There is nothing to grab a hold of. The roller has fallen off. The spring came off as well. It's broken in two places. The only thing is the top part of the pin sticking out. The rim is wedged deep into the door. Whoever installed this really went to town with the hammer. I also have a feeling this pin has been wedged inside the bi-fold door since the construction of the house (1964), so it's an old pin on a warped wooden bi-fold door. Please let me know how I can yank out the pin. I know there are ways to yank out nails. I have no idea what tool I would need to pull out an entire pin.
Hi, if there is enough coming up to grab, use locking pliers at an angle and tap up with a hammer. If you can't grab it, use a bolt extractor. Drill into the top and screw in the extractor and pull out with a pliers.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The locking pliers + hammer method sounds good, but I'm not sure where I strike it with the hammer... once you lock it on the pin, the only thing to strike is the handle, which is not optimal for a pin that is deeply molded into the door. The bolt extractor method seems to be the most invasive. For a pin with no grooves, I imagine I would need to get a center punch as well. I feel like the door will probably just break apart before this pin ever comes loose. The original installer did a real number on it.
Hi, push the pin up into the bracket on top and then guide it into the bottom bracket. Sometimes easier with a helper down on the floor. We have more home improvement tips on our weekly podcast castbox.fm/u/6389499.

The roller has fallen off. The spring came off as well. It's broken in two places. The only thing is the top part of the pin sticking out. The rim is wedged deep into the door. Whoever installed this really went to town with the hammer. I also have a feeling this pin has been wedged inside the bi-fold door since the construction of the house (1964), so it's an old pin on a warped wooden bi-fold door. Please let me know how I can yank out the pin. I know there are ways to yank out nails. I have no idea what tool I would need to pull out an entire pin.
Hi, if there is enough coming up to grab, use locking pliers at an angle and tap up with a hammer. If you can't grab it, use a bolt extractor. Drill into the top and screw in the extractor and pull out with a pliers.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The locking pliers + hammer method sounds good, but I'm not sure where I strike it with the hammer... once you lock it on the pin, the only thing to strike is the handle, which is not optimal for a pin that is deeply molded into the door. The bolt extractor method seems to be the most invasive. For a pin with no grooves, I imagine I would need to get a center punch as well. I feel like the door will probably just break apart before this pin ever comes loose. The original installer did a real number on it.
But put back on the track.... that part I’m having difficulty with.
Hi, push the pin up into the bracket on top and then guide it into the bottom bracket. Sometimes easier with a helper down on the floor.

Too bad you didn’t address the pivot point which is the shittiest design flaw of these shitty doors
