# How to Mount Bifold Aligners
Bifold closet doors are space savers and help you to clearly see the items in your closet. If properly installed, they will open and close smoothly. And they give the look of a continuous surface when they are closed. To keep doors hanging evenly in their closed position, special aligners are used on the back of the inner doors.
Things You'll Need
- Set of bifold aligners
- Masking tape, optional
- Measuring tape or rule
- Pencil
- Screws
- Screwdriver

After doors are hung, close panels flat. On the back of door, measure the inner edge of the middle door 12 inches from the floor. Mark an identical measure on other inner door at the same height.

Proper placement can be assured by marking measurements and placement with a pencil. Hold bifold aligner level with both marks and make a pencil mark on doors at screw holes.

3
Drill holes for screws on both doors where marked.

Attach aligner with screws on both door edges. Do not tighten screws fully until after final adjustment. When doors are closed, the aligners on the center doors should overlap, keeping door fronts flush with each other.

Open and shut doors, checking for fit and alignment. Adjust if necessary. When adjustment is finished, tighten screws fully.
