LTL Home Products 48 Wide x 80 Inches Tall Oakmont Interior Accordion Folding Door with Track and Installation Hardware, Pecan

So easy to install, with nice clear directions. My husband and I did it together in about 20 minutes with zero problems. I could have done it on my own. Very hard, durable material, and looks nice. It's a functional door, not a decorative door though, so it's not like you would probably normally want it on your bedroom or something. We have it for our basement door. Before, with a regular swing door, our basement door and the outside door almost overlapped completely when opened, that's how small our space it. It made it so the doors didn't open all the way and we had to squeeze out the basement, close the door, then open the outside door. Not very handy when you're carrying a ladder or anything else you'd be likely to bring up from the basement! Now, thanks to this accordion door, all my frustration is gone! We can easily open out outside door and have a clear path outside. I am literally thankful for this door every day! It has made life so much easier. Pros: Fits well Well-made, durable material Slides smoothly along the track Easy to install Looks unassuming Great price Gives you space!!! Cons: All of these cons would be true of any accordion door. This is not meant to be a sealed airtight door. There's a small gap at the bottom (there needs to be so it can slide back and forth). Not beautiful (not ugly either, just know that by nature it's not as pretty as a real door). Not baby proof / child proof. Not as much privacy as a real door. If you want a locking door, you'd have to figure out your own system to put a lock on this door. Bottom line, If you have a tight space I cannot recommend this door highly enough. End your door frustration and treat yourself to this space saver!

For the very modest amount of money that I paid to buy this folding "closet" door (I installed it in an actual in-house doorway to cut down on draftiness from an un-insulated adjoining room at my Mom's home that was built in the early 1900s), it is excellent, attractive, and was easy to install with the enclosed directions. I would use better screws than the ones that came with mine, if I were you. They are about an inch long, but the Phillips head screw tops are too weak to keep from stripping them when cinching down on them to mount the top hanger piece and the side channel pieces. So get about 15 to 20 better screws before you start the installation, and you should be quite satisfied with (and proud of) the result. (My Mom sure was.) I was in no hurry, and probably had it up and finished in less than an hour. Some other reviewers had complained about the boxed door being damaged when they received it. Mine was well packed and had cushioning at the top and bottom ends of the packed folding door, and was in perfect condition, with no parts missing.

The door itself was decent quality for a vinyl door, the track was plastic and I was worried it wouldn't be strong enough or would crack during installation but it didn't. It was very easy to install except the oil that you put on the rollers, that was hard to squeeze out. You'll need that for friction in sure since the rollers don't actually roll. I needed this type of door for a space that had no room for a normal door. It opens and closes nicely and the magnets hold tight. My opening was 4 feet wide by 79in tall and it fit perfectly with just under an inch and a half at the bottom from the floor. 4.5 starts because the tracking could be metal.

Fits a door wider than 36 inches. Mine was 43 inches wide so there is no tension on it to close all the way. The product came with a 2 x 2 inch area crush on one panel. LTL Home Products responded quickly and offered to the replace it, however, it's not that noticeable and I'll probably remove that single panel anyway to make the door fit with less "accordion" being unused. I have a laser level I used to install it which made life a lot easier. The screws provided are only 1 inch long and may need replacing with longer screws, depending on where and how deep you studs are in the wall. Other than that, for the price, it's a great product that allows me to close off my office to the rest of the house, but there's 5 inches open space under the door for air and cats to crawl under.

The oakmont (frost) folding door arrived as soon as the weather here in NJ would permit. I highly recommend reading the installation instructions at least twice before installing. Installation was a snap. The door opening I installed this product in was a few inches taller than the 80" height of the oakmont door but after installing a 2" x 4" piece of wood at the top of the door frame the height was almost exactly 80". It took me about a hour from start to finish and.the door is sturdy and rigid. I do read reviews and decided not to go cheap and purchase a lesser door what some reviewers labeled a shower curtain. One word of caution for the oakmont door, and that is you are not provided a magnet latching system but a friction "tab" that mounts to the door at the handle. The screw provided is a short (1" long) flat head screw. It didn't last one closing and opening before it pulled out of the door. I had a 3" long screw and after I switched it out the door functions wonderfully. Don't forget to use the lubricant provided to "grease" the guide that the door hangs from. It makes sliding the door much easier once installed.
