Tips for Removing a Stubborn 1980s Bifold Door

Asked By SillyGoose42 On

Hey everyone! I'm trying to remove this bifold door from the 1980s, but it's not like the newer models. When I push down on the top roller, it just compresses but doesn't come down far enough to actually pop out of the track. I've checked the top and bottom hardware but it seems like there are no cutouts in the track for easy removal. There's some hardware at the bottom that's screwed into the floor, but I can't really get to that until I figure out how to get the top of the door off first. Any tips on how to tackle this?

To remove that door, try adjusting the height using the pivot on the floor. You should twist the pivot to lower the door, and then you can lift it up so the pivot pin comes out of the floor bracket. Once you get that done, the door should pull out from the top track pretty easily!

Thanks for the reply! Is your door similar to mine? I just added some new photos to show the bottom hardware. I'm stuck on how to twist the pivot.
