How to Adjust a Bi-Fold Door Aligner

The bi-fold door aligner mounts on the lead doors to keep the two sets of doors tightly closed. It's installed 6 to 12 inches up from the floor, depending on the manufacturer's directions. The aligner catches when the doors are closed to keep the door faces flush. It's installed and adjusted from inside the doors with the doors closed; have a flashlight handy for the installation if the closet doesn't have a light.
