@erinmakesitwork: Our #bifolddoor was falling off the track constantly. So we turned it into a #frenchdoor and seriously couldn’t be happier with the outcome. 6 steps to complete this project: 1. Remove the door from the track and all of the hardware 2. Attach the non-mortise hinges to the door and then to the doorframe 3. Trim the door if it overlaps when you hang it 4. Paint 5. Attach new knobs 6. Marvel at your awesome work #DIY #beforeandafter #fyp

would it work if the bifold has 2 doors on each side? If you change it to a French door and secure the 2 doors together would it be too heavy and eventually pull on the hinges?

And it just gives so much more room for entry.

I don't know why you prefer French to bifold. Now you need 2 hands vs. 1 & it looks just the same closed. I gotta say, this is silly & bougie af.

Do they stay shut? Or did you have to install some sort of magnet?

Definitely going to do this! Our bifold keeps falling off the tracks. What are the magnet pieces up top called? Looks great!
