I'm looking to build and install 2 sets of 20" wide X 84" tall doors that the client wants set up as bi-fold. That's 4 panels in all - each 2 panel set to open a full 90°s or more to the opening. Will conceal a murphy bed.
He asked for Blums - but the combo of 170° and their bi-fold 60° hinge leaves the doors at angles too each other rather than flat.
I don't want to use the bi-fold closet hardware that many of us grew up with - tracks, springs, generally short time happiness solution.
The only option I see that could work is the Johnson 1601 "Full Access" Bi-Fold System that they offer. http://www.johnsonhardware.com/1601-...-door-hardware I could use the 30# option. THESE AREN'T PRETTY but they look like they would do the job well.
Does anyone have any experience with the Johnson set up? Are there better versions that I have yet to discover?
Thanks for any information /experience you can provide.
