Does the bifold door need a bottom track?

Bi-fold doors can be engineered in different ways. However, they all need a top and bottom track to slide smoothly.

Origin’s doors are bottom-run, which, from our experience, makes them more reliable and offers certain advantages:

  • As the weight of the doors is at the bottom, it makes it less likely for one of the doors to drop.
  • Top-hung doors need significantly more support above them, as that’s where the weight is concentrated. A builder would have to ensure there was enough structural support before installing a top-hung set of doors.
