What is a bi-fold door?

A bi-fold door is a type of door that is made up of two or more panels that are hinged together.

These panels fold back against each other when opened, creating a compact space-saving solution. Bi-fold doors are commonly used in places where space is limited, such as closets, laundry rooms, and as dividers between rooms or to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
