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, remember we spoke about the little adjustment screw that goes on the bottom for the height of the door, so now to make our cut, you have to compensate for your hardware, but again, don't worry if you take off a little bit too much it's okay because you can always compensate with the adjustment of the screw. So, here we're going to cut it about 78-3/4 should do it, 70-5/8. We're going to cut it and we're going to make sure it's going to fit. Out to the table saw, okay? This is the machine we're going to be using to trim our door. I've seen guys that take this, the shroud off; it takes--keeps the dust out of your eyes and stuff. I recommend leaving it on. It is a safety feature of this saw.
