All closet door types have different hardware connecting them to the closet food frame. Today, we\u2019re going to focus on how to remove bi-fold closet doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How They\u2019re Secured<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This type of closet door is one of the trickiest to figure out without help. While most people have some idea of how to take off a regular door, and sliding doors can be figure out with some jimmying, bi-fold doors are a bit tougher.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bi-fold doors are held in place by two pegs &#8211; one on top and one on bottom. The top one is the one we\u2019re working with to remove the door. It looks like the image below. If you\u2019re familiar with the door on a pet carrier, you\u2019ll be quick to pick up how bi-fold doors are secured.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the peg holding a bi-fold door in place, it\u2019s fairly intuitive that it must retract somehow. In fact, it\u2019s spring-loaded. However, what makes these difficult is that these pegs are strong. The springs in them aren\u2019t childsplay. After all, they have to hold a door on. If the springs were weak, the peg could come loose and the door could fall off, injuring someone, or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-db5f32c0-abcf-4793-8709-bcc681c98af3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/He-RHn17Vn7dHoFNW5k69-pT31EmndyELO2brjzb3lEJLeDSj4GsIbzZk6e3aN9VUOityzTGtCG42kHLLnDVPfDAS6gnTKZJhvQTuy9Q5-lbiGkaKk3NP9ZA1gdCpG7q25ebEcpx\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Remove Bi-Fold Closet Doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to remove bi-fold closet doors, the first thing you need to do is find something flat and metal. Or, if you have some really strong twine, that may also work. If you look at the sample picture, you\u2019ll see a ring around the top of the peg. This is usually flush, or almost flush, with the hardware screwed into the door frame. In order to retract the peg, you have to have something that can hook over that ring and pull downward without breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Twine Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the twine method first. This method is really only possible if there is a small gap between the peg\u2019s ring and the hardware or door frame. Take a piece of twine about half a meter long and position it behind the peg, centered. Slip the twine between the peg ring and frame hardware. Bring the twine forward, crossing it in the front, and then circling around behind the peg again. Cross it to the front once more and tie it in a knot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The twine has now looped twice around the peg. Hold the door with one arm and wrap the end of the twine around the other hand once. Pull down. If the twine is strong enough not to break, it will pull the peg down, removing it from the frame hardware and freeing the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s no gap between the peg and frame hardware, or you have no strong twine on hand, you\u2019ll want something flat and metal. A butter knife may work well, but should be used with caution. This may also scratch or bend what you\u2019re using, so don\u2019t use something you cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slip the flat piece of metal you\u2019ve found between the peg ring and frame hardware. You\u2019ll need two hands for this, so have someone else hold the door, or press it toward the wall with your body. When the metal is in place, place one hand on either end of it and pull down. It should do to retract the peg if it\u2019s strong enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buy Bi-Fold Door Replacements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you successfully remove bi-fold closet doors, the next step is replacing them.
