Internal bifold doors hardware and systems from Runners UK can provide a neat, chic, and robust folding door option for your house, office, or storage wall and cupboards.
Read on for some common questions around choosing the right kit for internal folding doors.
There are two main differences between internal and external folding bi-fold door kits. Firstly internal kits do not have weather seals, it is assumed you have no issue with draughts and rain.

You can use an external door kit internally if you want, but it would not make sense to use an internal kit on an external door.
There are times when you do not want a bottom track, for example in the image above, it looks much neater without this. The option varies according to the system chosen – for Tommafold Interior there is a choice, but note that the max door weight is 40kg without a bottom track, and 60kg with the bottom track.

These wardrobe rail kits are also used for any kind of cabinet or storage furniture.

For example, the Tommafold Interior kit is tested to 100,000 cycles, and like all our internal kits, does not require grease or oil to run smoothly.
