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

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

I didn't see a question from you, , but I'm guessing
you also want to have bifold doors fold into the room rather than the closet
just like Ivan did almost 7 years ago, right? If do, that is the normal
way, no special hardware needed.

Now answer a question for me: how could anyone screw up a bifold door
installation so they swing into the closer?



I think he is talking about a door that will open farther than normal to
take up less room in the opening, not make more room in the
closet/opposite side of the opening.

I think the solution would be to have bi fold doors that are wider than
the opening and fit on the outside of the opening. Unlock the inner
panels from the top and bottom tracks and you can swing both sides 180
degrees against the parallel walls that they are mounted to.
