How to Loosen Marvin Bi-Fold Doors

Marvin bi-fold doors come in a variety of configurations. Some homeowners have one bi-fold door in place, while others have a three-panel bi-fold door, or two-panel bi-fold with a singe-panel door beside it. No matter the configuration, all of the bi-fold doors are secured to the track on one side. To uninstall the door, you must loosen the pivots that allow the door to glide through the track.

Instructions

1. Pull the handle inward to open the bi-fold door.

2. Loosen the setscrew inserted into the top pivot bracket with a Phillips screwdriver. Slide the door closed, and then pull the bracket out of the track to remove the top pivot.

3. Lift the bi-fold door up to pull bottom pivot bracket out of the track. Now the door is free from the track.

4. Turn the hinge screws between each bi-fold door counterclockwise with a Phillips screwdriver. Once screws are removed from both sides of the hinge, place the hinge aside. Now the Marvin bi-fold door is completely loose.

5. Repeat the process to detach any additional bi-fold doors from the track or other doors.
