Some while back, browsing at the library, I saw an ad in Fine Woodworking
for bi-fold door hardware that allows the door to swing OUT of the
opening when in the open position. In other words, the door folds back
against one of the adjacent walls instead of hogging room within the
opening.

Can't find the article, don't know which issue. Tried Google. Does
anybody have a lead on this item?

Thanks,

Okay, I guess I'm not describing this well enough. The typical bi-folds
that I have seen (closets mainly) are on a track and stack up against one
side of the opening thereby reducing the entry space.

The ad I saw in the magazine looked like the bi-folds would collapse
(fold) in half, as expected, and then swing out of the opening and onto
the adjacent wall of the main room.

In my case I have a small office with a 26 inch door. I have removed the
ordinary door years ago due to lack of swing space. However, I would like
to have privacy while, for example, my wife has company and I would like
to work on the computer. The solution I am trying to describe above would
allow me (when open) to fold the entire assembly flat against the living
room wall instead of it folded within the 26 inch entry space.

This is advertised as a newly developed item. If I remember correctly,
the assembly was a hinge thingy with a swing arm that allowed the unit to
be swung into the adjacent room and sit flat (but folded) against the
wall.

Thanks,
