What is a bi-fold (folding) door?

A bi-fold door, also called a folding or accordion door, is built from panels hinged together that fold and stack back against the jamb, opening a whole wall to the outside. Closed, the panels lock into a weathertight line. Folding walls can be built in almost any number of panels and configuration, so they suit patios, restaurants, and any opening meant to disappear entirely.
