Bifold doors are the perfect solution for closets, laundry areas, and tight spaces where swinging doors won't work.

Step 4: Installing lower pivot brackets on a carpeted floor
Wall-to-wall carpeting is not sturdy enough to support the lower pivot bracket for a bifold door so you will need to install a wooden pad for bracing. First, use a plumb blob to line up the location for the pad and the lower bracket centered on top with the pivot bracket at the top of the door frame. Mark the location of the bracket on the pad and the location of the wooden pad on the carpet. Using a utility knife, cut away the carpet and pad under the location for the wood support. Fit the wood support into the hole and secure it to the floor underneath with a wood screw. Install the pivot bracket on top of the wood block, double checking its position with a plumb bob, marking and drilling pilot holes, and screwing it in place.
 Use a plumb bob to mark the location for the lower bracket.
