How to Remove Bifold Glass Fireplace Doors

Bifold doors are common on bedroom closets and as fireplace doors. They open on a hinge that sends the middle of the door out toward you, and the top corner of the door runs toward the wall on a track. To fully remove the doors, you must also remove the tracks and hardware that hold the doors in place. Once the doors and tracks are gone, you can replace them with a cabinet door system or a fireplace grate.
