bifolds

Two-panel hinged doors

Bifolds are doors or windows with panels that fold in half, typically accordion-style, to open.

The term appears most often in home improvement contexts: We're replacing the closet doors with bifolds.

A bifold wallet folds once down the middle, distinguishing it from trifolds, which have two creases.
