Full Glass Folding Door (White) (80"H x 48"W) Review

Talk about inaccurate descriptions!
When I ordered this folding door I naturally concluded that it had GLASS panels in it. Wrong. The windows are made of thin cheap plastic, certainly not glass as described. Then I noticed that most of the plastic end caps that hold things in place were either cracked or broken (there's about 20 of them). Next I looked to see how the magnetic latch works as described (in broken English) in the "manual" (1 page of confused and contradictory mush). The problem was I didn't see any magnets on the door nor in with the hardware. Long story short, they had come loose and slid inside of the end panel, a royal pain to find and extract. Then I had to figure out how the magnets were supposed to be mounted, no help from the instructions since they're probably never meant to come undone. Good thing I have a masters degree in engineering, I doubt if your average "Joe" or "Jane" would fare too well.
Once I was installing the door, I realized that had I better be VERY careful. There's NO way without destroying the product to remove it from the wall: once you snap that last vertical into the stationary extrusion, you're committed, for better or worse. Then finally as I started to move the accordion doors for the first time, out poured a veritable racket: "SQUEEEEK" "SQUEEEEEK". The plastic hinges at the top (and there are many of them) each make an ungodly amount of noise. Forget about opening or closing this puppy without holding your ears or waking up the baby. A soaking with WD-40 helped a bit.
This is poorly designed, poorly made, badly mis-described junk. Amazon should be more careful what they carry, and buyer beware on this one.

Constructed of heavy duty 5/8" PVC with a dual glider roller system for easy opening and closing. Can be installed to open on either right or left and comes with magnetic closure. For wider openings two doors can be mounted, one on either side of the door frame; thedoors would meet in the center and close with the magnetic closures.Available in an Oak, Walnut, or White finish.

Full PVC Folding Door (Oak) (80"H x 32"W) Review

The product looks great and is easy to install. However, the portion on the very top of the door, where the trolly runs in the track, is very weak. No later than two weeks after installation, the number one trolly broke loose. I had to surgically remove some of the plastic, insert a wooden plug and reattach the trolly I would recommend that future models of this product have wooden inserts in the top of each panel where the trollys connect to prevent this problem. I am now waiting to see how long it will be before the other door fails in the same way.
