Skipton Bi-Fold Door 1981x762mm
Wide mid-rail and stiles add to the overall appearance of this traditional Clear Pine 4 Panel door.. Mixed material construction using solid and laminated timbers..

Not suitable for treatment with any type of oil, polish or wax.. Standard, Fire Door and Glazed versions of this door are also available.. This is a natural timber product and variances in texture, colour and grain may be apparent.. Door furniture sold separately..

"Bought two doors, both had hinges that were bent out of shape. One also had a split were the hinge had been screwed to the edge, so would have proken eventually. Very disappointed in this product Won't risk buying doors via the internet again!"

"The pine doors were okay, the instructions written on the plastic bag the fittings come in were useless. Had to change the screws on the pre attached hinges as they were too small for the job and started falling out as soon as the door was unwrapped.
take the door, throw everything else away & stick a couple of conventional hinges on one end - enjoy"

Pros: can't think of any
"The only good thing I can say about this door is that it is constructed out of solid pine and has a good, weighty feel to it.
However, do not buy this door if you wish to remain friends with your diy side:
I know doorways aren't always perfectly square rectangles, but is it really too much to assume that a brand new door is perfectly square?
It became a sick joke, trying to locate at least one proper right angle on this thing, on either half. It arrived skrewed together, so the lack of a 90 degree corner was completely exacerbated - do I modify each half, hoping when its skrewed back together again I can ensure its square, or do I modify the thing as a whole, trying to work around the non-straight split down the middle?

As for the supplied instructions, they may as well have not bothered. Anyone who can successfully hang this thing from the ludicrous couple of diagrams printed on the back of the skrew packet was either cheating or deserves a prize. Mere mortals like me are left to google the door serial number instead to discover Wickes bought the thing from an American supplier who has much better instructions on their website, just with measurements in American units in bold all over it.
Biggest waste of £50 ever. Its hanging now, but it almost found itself flung out of the window too many times to bother mentioning."

Pros: fast delivery
Cons: hinges
"Good quality door unfortunately pre fitted hinges are badly aligned and leave an uneven gap between doors when closed.so need to be resited.
If using sliding mechanism supplied with door I would advise taking door jams of first as this makes easier to fit"

"This is a fantastic product for its price range, easy to assemble and install and ready to be primed and painted or varnished.
The sliding door frame top rail assembly is contained inside the packed door panels so don't panic if you don't see it until you open the sealed pack. To get the most out of the top rail assembly you'll need sufficient clearance above the door height, but the door works just as well without it (unless the sliding mechanism is a prequisite)."

Pros: good quality for the price
Cons: minor fettling to make a1
"Two doors purchased, and overall pretty good value. A little bit of fettling with the sander made them A1. Quality of door hanging parts was excellent. A little bit of transport damage (easily sanded out), but to be fair, it's very difficult to package for every incident of rough handling by carriers.
I'll definitely being buying more (for the built-in wardrobes)."

Pros: looks good allowed better use of living space
Cons: slightly smaller useable access
"Very nice quality hardware and door, instructions are a little tricky but correct. the door worked like a dream and looks very good. Bifolds take up a little more space in the opening but overall create more space - in our kitchen it made the kitchen look much bigger and freed up a lot of space."

Pros: it opens in half the space, the wife loves it, it's better than a concertina door
Cons: instructions
"First of all I ordered this item at 17.07 and it was delivered at 0900 the next day, WOW. The fitting instructions were not very good, they were written on the clear bag that held the screws & brackets. I did manage to install the door in the end. After examining the instructions for ages after it was fitted it came a little clearer. If I have to do another one I will know how to do it. Do not let this put you off buying this product. The quality could be better. One of the joints on mine came apart & I had to hit it with a hammer to put it back."
