Bifold Doors to Double Doors Kitchen Pantry Before and After DIY

TURNING A BIFOLD DOOR INTO DOUBLE DOORS | KITCHEN PANTRY

Posted on March 6, 2023March 7, 2023 by Megan

Bifold doors have their place, but in my opinion, the less you have to open them the better. Naturally, having a bifold pantry door wasn’t working out for us. Especially with small kiddos with pinchable fingers who are always searching for their next snack. So today we’re going to turn our bifold door into double doors!

You’ll need…

  • Screwdriver
  • Wood filler
  • Non-mortise hinges (you can also use basic door hinges to match the other side but they will need to be recessed with a router or multi tool!)
  • Two door pulls
  • Two magnetic latches

Step 1: Remove bifold door from jamb side

Step 2: Remove center, bifold hinges so you have two identical door halves

Step 3: Attach non-mortise hinges (or basic door hinges) to the jamb side of the non-hinged door

Step 4: If using basic door hinges, recess area in jamb for hinges (level and mirrored from the other side with the original hinges)

Step 5: Patch old holes and paint

Step 6: Hang both doors from hinges

Step 7: Attach door pulls and magnetic latches on the top of the door jamb
