Hinges: Steel weld on bullet hinges with grease fittings come welded on jamb and door.  Allows customers to comfortably open our doors, but yet feel that quality with each and every use.  We use welded steel bullet hinge with copper crush washer instead of a ball bearing hinge because ball bearings are made out of stainless steel (hard material) and the hinges/doors are made out of steel (softer material) which over time causes the hinge to wear. With copper crush washers, the washer is the soft point and they are easily replaceable over time if needed.

BORE HOLE - LOCK SPEC

If you choose to purchase your hardware/lockset from a third party vendor, please make sure to provide them with the following specifications to ensure that your desired lockset will be compatible with our doors.

Bore hole size:
2 1/8”
Back set:
2 3/4”
Center to center:
5 1/2”
Door thickness: 2”
  • In stock single doors come with two pre drilled bore holes (one active lock needed) unless if otherwise specified.
  • In stock double doors come with two pre drilled bore holes on each door (one active lock and one dummy lock needed) unless if otherwise specified.
  • Locks purchased from PINKYS do not come installed on door upon delivery or shipment.  The reason for this is that it may get damage during the delivery or shipment process.  The installer will need to install the lock after the door installation is complete.

Bore Hole: 

A bore hole is the doorknob hole  that is drilled on the face of the door with a hole saw.  The hole is drilled halfway through from each side.  The hole saw is also used to drill the cross bore otherwise known as the latch hole.  Both doorknob hole and latch holes come completed and drilled with every in stock order to help your installer install the lock at ease.

Center to Center:

The vertical distance measured between the center-points of the two bore holes.  In other words, it is the measurement from the middle of the top bore hole to the middle of the bottom bore hole.  This measurement is used to determine where a bore for the deadbolt is located above the bore for the latch.  This information is important to help our customers purchase the correct compatible lock if you choose to purchase them from an outside hardware store.  We have already done the homework for you by specifying the Pinky’s locks that are compatible with your door if you choose to purchase the locks from PINKYS.

Back Set:

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8” bore hole.  The back set measurement is important to help our customers purchase the correct compatible lock with the correct latch size.  We have already done the homework for you by specifying the Pinky’s locks that are compatible with your door if you choose to purchase the locks from PINKYS.  Our customers do not have to purchase the locks from PINKYS, you may purchase the locks from any local hardware store of your liking.

Our In-Stock bi-fold Doors

  • Our in-stock bi-fold doors have (3) panels stacking all to the right (RHO) or stacking all to the left (LHO).

  • You will have an active door for convenient everyday use. An active door operates like a regular single swing door. You will be able to open a single swing door for everyday use without having to open the entire bi-fold door every time you want to use it.
    • LHO (left hand out swing) bi-fold doors will have its active door on the very right side (when facing the bi-fold from the exterior)
    • RHO (right hand out swing) bi-fold doors will have its active door on the very left side (when facing the bi-fold from the exterior)

HOW OUR BI-FOLD DOORS ARE MEASURED

Our sizes are measured from outside of jamb to the outside of the jamb. For example, a 144” x 96” bi-fold door listed on our website means that 144” is the width from outside to outside of jamb (not the actual width size of the door) and 96” is the height from outside of jamb to bottom of our built in steel threshold (not the actual height of the door).

 

ROUGH OPENING

We recommend the rough opening of the WIDTH to be 1” to 2” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

We recommend the rough opening of the HEIGHT to be 1/2” to 1” taller than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

TOP TRACK

Top track of our bi-fold doors takes up approximately 6 1/2” of the total height opening space. This means that the total height opening space of your bi-fold door is the height size listed on our website minus the threshold & 6 1/2” for the top track.

Weather Stripping

Dual foam weather stripping is included and comes installed around the door frame.  Designs with operable glass will have dual sealing around the glass.  The purpose is to help reduce air infiltration and water penetration.  The dual sealing around the glass allows for weather stripping on both sides of the glass.  The seal around the door frames help to reduce the leakage of air and heat, resulting in a much more energy efficient product for our customers.   

 

Foam
