The Compack 180 System is a folding door technology that opens up new interior design frontiers, making more space available even in cramped quarters.
The Compack 180 System is a functional alternative to all types of folding doors. No modifications to walls are necessary. There are no sliding or rolling members—the door moves fluidly without a sound. Prolonged use does not compromise the quality of the movement.

All necessary hardware (door, lock and handle are not included)
What Is The Recommended Door Slab Thickness? The minimum thickness is 36 mm (1 7/16”).
What Kind Of Door Do I Need To Buy For The Compack 180 Folding Door System—Solid Core Or Hollow Core? Any door will work, if the door is solid on the top and bottom.
How Durable Is The Compack 180 Folding Door Hardware Set? This unique, heavy duty, commercial grade system is tested in more than 100,000 cycles. Prolonged use has no effect on the quality of operation.
Do You Have Hardware For a 30” Door Opening? Unfortunately, there is no hardware for a 30” opening with symmetrical doors. We do recommend using 32” hardware, where the hinge side door will be 16” and the handle side door will be 14”.
What Is The Largest Folding Door Opening That Compack Hardware Can Cover? Compack 90 can cover a 40” opening (20” + 20” doors). Compack 180 can cover up to a 47” opening (20” + 27” doors).
How Easy Is It To Prepare The Door For The Hardware? Having some woodworking skills is recommended. To simplify and expedite the process, using the provided template will significantly enhance efficiency and ease.
Can a Compack 180/90 Folding Door Be Closed And Opened From The Inside? What Handles And Locks Can I Use For This System? There are special magnetic Compack Lock and Flush handles. You can buy them online from milcasastore.com (call or email us for more info):
Does The Compack 180 System Kit Include Hardware For Only One Bifold Door Or For Two Bifold Doors (Right and Left)? A bifold is two door slabs being connected to make a single bifold door. The hardware provided is for one bifold door comprised of two leaves.
How Much Space Is Needed On Either Side Of The Door Opening To Use These On a Closet? The space the folding door opens into will require the width of one door panel. For example, if you have a 32" doorway your door would be made of two 16" panels. You would need a clearance of 16" as it opens.
How Much Sound Does The Mechanism Make? Would It Wake a Sleeping Baby? Just like opening most doors, no noise at all! These doors glide nicely and quietly.
Product quality is excellent. Have not installed, yet. Called Milcasa Store to ask if there was more detailed installation instructions than what is available on the website - pdf's and videos. Was told nothing else is available. I would suggest coming up with more detailed instructions.

The folding door hinge is really great, but integration with a door and door frame not provided by Milcasa is very difficult! A lot of different factors need to be considered. The mechanisms and the attachment wholes aren’t allowing any adjustment

This is an excellent, well designed and fabricated product that well serves niche and unique requirements. However, it is priced at the highest end of similar products and is difficult to justify from a cost perspective. Additionally, the doors require machining that is not described well in any instructions and machining specifications must be extrapolated from the product itself. Routing jigs are available to rent from Milcasa, but for $150, putting the cost of just the hinging hardware at $600. In the end the hardware perfectly solved a unique requirement, but at a very high cost in both product and labor.

The original bifold doors on our laundry closet had to be removed because the consumed 4 inches on each side preventing the front-loading machines from opening completely.
A pair of these amazing hinges reveals the entire opening, giving full access to the appliances.

Recently installed our new Milcasa door. It turned out better than I had hoped. Our walls are a little uneven, so we purchased the custom made casing, as well. Our contractor was able to figure out the routing just from the pictures. The hardware was easy to adjust, and the finished project is clean; so much better than the old, flimsy louvered doors.

hard to install, worth it!

I hadn’t put it on yet but when I do I will come back and add some pictures. But the customer service is excellent. I got the wrong side and they replace it with no problem

I had a space issue with my newly renovated bathroom. Full door would swing open and cover up the light switch, plus hide a big portion of my precious renovation. I solved all my problems by installing a 180 degree bi-fold door, but the hardware I used was not any hardware. I used Milcasa Compack Living hardware. This product is excellent - top of the line. I researched, and this hardware has proved to be very precise. It came shipped like an Apple iPhone! It completely controls the door - opening, and in the closed position. Sturdy & beautiful. You forget its a bi-fold. I spoke to the Company rep before purchasing with some questions and they answered everything. When I made a mistake in my order and confused my left from my right for the door opening Milcasa shipped me the correct one right away before receiving the return. This product is really engineered so well its simple. Product, company support and customer service outstanding.

My closet is very accessible and my hallway is not blocked by a normal bi-fold door protruding into the walkway. This was a perfect solution that solved two problems and I'm the only kid on my block to have hardware like this. Very cool.
