Lo All
Question for all you DIYers
I am thinking of buying a bi-fold door to fit to my mothers bathroom.
She currently has a concertina style one.
The door opening is 686mm wide but a non standard 1965mm high.
What I want to do is buy the bi-fold door but to mount it in the conventional way ie 3 hinges on one side and not fit the rail or pivots.
I realise the door may wallow around but is there any reason why this won't work.
I can't see there being a weight issue on the hinges as it shouldn't weigh any more than a standard door.
As these doors are shorter any way to allow for the track at the top ect I also won't need to cut the door down.

Thoughts people

Cheers

As you say, can't see a reason why it wouldn't work, weight wise.
The door won't be held closed and will waggle about, as you say, but that's inconvenience (though some would say definitely not ideal on a bathroom door )

Is this the kind of Bi-fold door you're on about? If so, then yes they'll only require the 2 or 3 door hinges (in addition to the hinges that join the two halves). Alternatively you could make your own by zipping a door that matched the rest of the house in half.
