Secure this rail to the top of the closet door opening using the screws supplied. Note a screw gun, such as the DEWALT DC520KA Heavy Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Drywall\/Deck Screwdriver Kit, can come in handy when installing bifold doors. It will dramatically speed up the installation and save your wrist and elbow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The rail should be centered in the middle of the closet door opening and one of its ends should butt up against one of the sidewalls of the closet. Note that the side of the rail that mounts nearest the sidewall should have an adjustable plate with a hole in it. This is where the closet door will hinge on.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Install Bifold Door Floor Bracket<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next install the floor bracket such that it rests up against one of the sidewalls. Use the screws that came in the door packaging. The floor bracket will have a saw toothed cut out that should rest on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once you have trimmed the bottom edges of the side door jambs you can separate the prehung door into two halves. One half includes the door itself along with casing trim. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Do not disengage the prehung door from this section of casing trim. The other half of the interior prehung door is simply a door casing trim frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Position the prehung door and casing section into the door opening.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00FX6ZQ5K\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00FX6ZQ5K&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=73e50c7f350844850fa83e86691e94c8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00FX6ZQ5K&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00FX6ZQ5K\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Make sure you center the door in the opening.

This dowel should be mounted into the top of the bifold door furthest from the hinged area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, there should be a dowel that has a spring assembly in it.
