When heavy duty is the right choice
Two reasons to choose heavy duty over standard duty — either one is sufficient:
- Your door panels exceed standard duty capacity. Standard duty bifold handles 62.5 lbs per panel. If your panels are heavier — solid hardwood, thick MDF, or any panel approaching or exceeding that limit — heavy duty is the right tier. Heavy duty handles up to 200 lbs per panel.
- Your door panels are thicker than standard duty allows. Standard duty handles panels from 1-1/4 in to 1-3/8 in thick. Heavy duty handles 1-3/8 in to 2-1/4 in. If your panels are solid wood thicker than 1-3/8 in, heavy duty is required.
If neither condition applies — your panels are light and within the standard thickness range — standard duty hardware will do the job and costs less. See our bifold hardware collection for the full lineup including standard duty and house value line options.
Available configurations
| Configuration | Total panels | Stack per side | Max opening | Total capacity | Hanger styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-door one-way | 2 | 5 in (one side) | 93 in | 400 lbs | J-strap, J top mount |
| 4-door biparting | 4 | 5 in per side | 188 in | 800 lbs | J-strap, J top mount |
| 4-door one-way | 4 | 10 in (one side) | 189 in | 800 lbs | J top mount only |
| 6-door one-way | 6 | 15 in (one side) | 285 in | 1,200 lbs | J top mount only |
| 8-door biparting | 8 | 10 in per side | 380 in | 1,600 lbs | J top mount only |
| 12-door biparting | 12 | 15 in per side | 572 in | 2,400 lbs | J top mount only |
J-strap is available for 2-door and 4-door biparting only. For configurations with 4 or more panels stacking to one side, J top mount is required — a face-mounted hanger would be sandwiched in the panel stack and prevent clean folding.
