"GEORGE ENGLE: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is George Engle with Mr. Fix-It Handyman, Inc., here in Miami, Florida, and today I'm going to be showing you how to install a bi-fold door. Okay, since this is a standard size door and the hole is usually a standard size hole, we're going to go ahead and attempt to make our installation, or at least to make sure that when we go do the installation it will fit. So we got a good width, it looks good; however, once we're putting our bottom bracket on, I noticed here that it's not--doesn't have the correct amount of clearance. So, in order to make this work, we're going to have to rip across the top here, take a small piece off to allow clearance for the hardware that we need to put up here. It's going to go inside of the track. So, we're going to show how we're going to cut this off in just a second."
