Classic J-Strap Bifold Barn Door Hardware Kit | 4-Door Biparting

Panel weight: Up to 62.5 lbs per panel · 250 lbs total system (4 panels). For heavier panels, see our heavy duty bifold hardware.

Panel width: Sized based on how much coverage you need over the opening — see the panel sizing section below for formulas and worked examples.

Panel height: Opening height + 1 in. Leaves 5/8 to 1-1/4 in of floor clearance, adjustable at the wall-mounted pivots during installation.

Panel thickness: 1-1/4 in to 1-3/8 in. For thicker panels, heavy duty bifold handles 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 in.

Maximum panel size: 24 in wide × 84 in tall per panel. For larger panels see our heavy duty bifold hardware, which supports panels up to 48 in × 108 in.

Ceiling clearance above door: 5-1/2 in required between the top of the door panels and the ceiling.

Wall clearance — both sides: Biparting requires clearance on both sides of the opening. For a fully clear opening, 5 in of clear wall is needed on each side — two panels stack to just 5 in of depth. Minimum 1/2 in between the track end and any adjacent wall or trim on each pivot side.

Wall header: A solid header above the opening is required for track mounting. If there is no existing header or backing in the wall, we recommend installing a minimum 1×6 hardwood board (3/4 in thick × 5-1/2 in wide) that extends past the length of the track to the next stud or structural support point on each side. Ceiling mount is not compatible with bifold hardware.

The 4-door biparting kit includes two complete 2-door roller sets — one for each side — plus an alignment plate set for the center panels.

• Pre-punched track (1) — custom cut to your specified length
• Fixed J-strap hangers (2) · Loose J-strap hangers (2) — one fixed and one loose per side
• Carriage bolts, keps nuts, and hex bolts for hanger attachment (doubled quantities)
• Hinges (8 — 6 used for panels 7 ft tall or under, all 8 for taller panels) · 5/8 in hinge screws (32)
• Sidewall pivot assemblies (2) — wall-mounted, one per side
• Door bottom plates (2) · 3/4 in steel washers (2)
• Track stops (2) · rubber bumper bands (2) · clear bumper pads (12) · felt strips (2)
• Lag bolts · spacers · nylon fender washers · wood screws (doubled quantities)
• Flange nuts (4)
• Alignment plate set (1 set — 2 pieces) · wood screws for alignment plate — attaches at the bottom of the two center-meeting panels to keep them aligned when closed
• Two 4 in pull handles (1 per side)

The fixed hanger on each side attaches to the pivot-side panel. The loose hanger attaches to the center-facing panel and travels freely along the track as the doors fold open.

A latch and flush pull are not included — add them before ordering to avoid a second shipment. Soft close is not compatible with bifold hardware.

This kit includes two 4 in pull handles. A latch and flush pull are not included:

Latch: Keeps the door closed deliberately — browse our latches collection

Flush pull: For the wall-facing side if the door is operated from both sides — browse our flush pulls collection

4-door biparting sizing is based on total panel width — the combined width of all four panels — not the rough opening. The track length you select should equal your total panel width. For a full walkthrough see our bifold measuring guide.

Minimum coverage (doors close over the opening with a small overlap on each side):
Total panel width = opening + 4 in · Each panel = (opening + 4 in) ÷ 4
Example: 60 in opening → total = 64 in → each panel = 16 in

Fully clear opening (recommended) (equal overlap on both sides, opening fully unobstructed when open):
Total panel width = opening + 10 in · Each panel = (opening + 10 in) ÷ 4
Example: 60 in opening → total = 70 in → each panel = 17.5 in, round up to 18 in

Because biparting splits symmetrically from the center, the installation looks balanced when open without requiring the extra planning of a symmetrical one-way setup. Goldberg Brothers tracks are custom-cut to your specified length.
