All our softwood and hardwood folding sliding doors are available to open in or open out with a flush or raised threshold at no additional cost.

To see how each door style operates use our 3D Door Configurator which will allow you to interact with the design to see how the bifold opens and closes.  

Traffic Doors

A traffic door is a hinged door leaf that can be used for day to day access just like a normal hinged back door.  Traffic doors are only possible on door styles with an odd number of folding sliding panels and will have a lever handle and key cylinder that allow external access.  Doors without traffic doors will not normally have an external handle or key access although this may be possible on some designs subject to special order and extra cost.
