# How to Cut a Bifold Door to Width
Bi-fold doors are common door coverings for closets and laundry rooms. The doors extend across the entry way and fold when you open them. Like any door, you may need to cut bi-fold doors to ensure they fit into the open space properly. Due to the length of the door, using a circular saw is often a good way to cut the doors quickly and cleanly. You will also need ample space for cutting the door as you need to move around the door when cutting.
