# How to Make a Bi-Fold Door Into a Regular Door
A bifold door folds down the center, allowing you to push the door to one side. While bifold doors are attractive, they are not necessarily what you want for your home décor. In addition, when the door closes, the two door panels come together, which can result in pinched fingers or skin. If you are tired of your bifold doors, but you still like the look of them, use mending braces to turn your bifold door into a regular door.

Screw a mending brace across the two panels about three to four inches from the top of the door using screws and an electric drill. Mending braces are metal rectangles with holes punched on either end.
