bi-fold doors

Accordion-style room dividers

Bi-fold doors are doors made of hinged panels that fold against each other when opened, accordion-style.

Common for closets and as interior dividers, they save space compared to swinging doors.

Larger exterior versions with glass panels create wide openings between indoor and outdoor spaces: The bi-fold doors opened the kitchen onto the patio.
