Bi-Fold Door Problems
Bi-fold doors are a common
choice for many closets, but you can run into some
problems... |
Step 1: The first step is to measure the walls and
determine the type of corners and cut you will need.
Outside corners, those that point out into a room simply
require two forty five degree cuts, but inside corners can
be a little trickier you'll need to cope the molding for a
tight fit. 
Step 2: Transfer your measurements to your baseboards,
marking them with a light pencil. 
Step 3: I'm working on an inside corner, so the long piece
needs simple straight cuts so that it butts up to each
end. Make those cuts and secure the piece to the wall with
some finishing nails. 
Step 4: The smaller piece needs a ninety-degree cut on one
end and then the coping end that you will cope needs to
have an inside forty-five degree outside cut on the
molding, so the longest end is on the back of the molding.
Step 5: Then use a coping saw to back-cut the molding
slightly, carefully following the molding's profile. When
the cuts are made, sand the edges for a tight fit.
