Help on Locating Closet Bi-fold Door Hardware

[haured]

I need to replace the track and hardware on some bi-fold doors. I have been told there is better hardware than the bottom of the line hardware the builder used over 50 years ago. I want to replace the hardware with top quality hardware so I never have to deal with the doors again. I would appreciate any advice about what hardware to look for and what distinguishes the top quality hardware. Thanks in advance for the help.

Ace hardware has or can order it for you.

I use the hardware from Menards.

I really don’t care if the doors need rebuilding again when I am 117

Pretty sure Lowes and HD sell replacement hardware.

This is what came with the bi-folds I got from Menards.

As linked above, Johnson hardware. go to their site and learn about all the different systems that they have and select the one you think is best for you. The have from cheap spec house hardware to industrial and a few in between. You pays your money and makes your choice.

Pemko, Johnson, hager, and national all make decent hardware, Hafele distributes several european lines as well. What size and weight doors do you have?
I sell and install architectural door hardware for a living.

I've replaced all of my bifold hardware with Johnson. I've found it good quality works much better than the cheap stuff that comes with the doors.

I never had any issues with my Johnson.
