Folding Doors Have You In A Jamb? Here's A Quick And Easy Solution

(HIT) - If you're like most people, you know how much of a problem "balky" folding closet doors can be. They can be hard to open or hard to close. They can chatter, stick or refuse to stay in place. Even fall out of the track! Well, don't blame your doors. In most cases, it's the hardware that's at fault.

	It's easy to replace hardware or install new folding door hardware with the Johnson Hardware 1700 series. Exclusive features solve "balky" folding door problems permanently.

Fortunately, whether it's for new construction or remodeling, you can easily overcome folding door problems with Johnson Hardware's 1700 Series Folding Door Hardware Kits. Visit the Johnson website to see the installation video.

These easy-to-install kits contain everything you need and include some exclusive features found only in the Johnson 1700 Series.

Each kit comes with "positive pivot locks" that permanently hold the top pivots securely to the overhead track. Once the doors are locked into the track, they can't fall out.

Another feature of the pivots is they're surface-mounted. So there's no drilling to insert door pivots and guides into the doors. And, since the pivots and guides are designed to bridge glued joints, they actually strengthen the doors.

An overhead steel track gives solid support while virtually eliminating the gap at the top of the door for a more pleasing look. And, because the track has a factory-applied woodtone finish, it blends right in with stained or natural finish doors. The brass tone hardware also complements most door finishes.
