Bi-Fold Closet Doors and Everything Else Lennar Includes at Wildwood Groves

Bi fold closet doors are the hinged panels that fold in half as they open. At Wildwood Groves, Lennar lists ""raised-panel bi-fold closet doors"" on its standard feature list. They match the ""raised-panel interior doors"" used on the rest of the home.

This guide explains how bi-fold closet doors work and how to care for them. Then it walks through everything else Lennar lists as included at Wildwood Groves, the warranty question, and how buying works.

What Are Bi Fold Closet Doors?

A bi-fold door is made of two panels joined by hinges. When you pull the handle, the panels fold toward each other and slide along a track at the top. A wide closet usually has a pair of bi-fold doors that meet in the middle.

Why builders use them:

• They save floor space. The panels fold as they open, so they swing out less than a single hinged door of the same width.

• They open wide. You can see almost the whole closet at once.

• They fit standard closet openings. That keeps the look the same from room to room.

""Raised-panel"" describes the style. Each panel has a raised center section with a frame around it. Lennar uses the same style on its interior doors, so the closets and rooms match.

How to Care for Bi-Fold Closet Doors

Bi-fold doors are simple, but they ride on hardware that needs a little attention:

1. Keep the top track clean. Dust and lint can make the doors stick.

2. Open them by the handle, not the edge. Pulling on the panel edge can bend the hinges over time.

3. Check the pivot pins. If a door drags or hangs crooked, the pins at the top and bottom usually need a small adjustment.

4. Do not hang things on the panels. Over-the-door hooks add weight the hinges were not built for.

5. Write down issues during your walk-through. If a door rubs or will not close, note it before closing so it can be fixed.

Why the Included List Matters When You Compare

When you compare new homes, it is easy to look only at the price. The included list changes what that price buys. Some builders charge extra for items Lennar lists as standard here, like the washer and dryer or the smart deadbolt. Others include things Lennar does not. Put two lists side by side and check them line by line. Then compare prices.

The Warranty Question

Lennar's Wildwood Groves community and plan pages that we read did not list warranty terms. We do not guess at them. Ask the sales team for the written warranty and read it before you sign. Look for three things:

• How long each part of the home is covered

• What ""limited"" means in the coverage

• How to file a warranty request after you move in

How Buying Works at Wildwood Groves

Here is how a typical new-home purchase moves:

1. Pick a plan and a homesite. Walk at least two plans first. Our side-by-side guide to the one-level plans can help you narrow it down.

2. Review the contract and price sheet. Ask for every offer in writing.

3. Choose your lender. Lennar Mortgage is the builder's own lender. Lennar's own fine print says use of Lennar Mortgage ""is not required to purchase a home."" Compare at least one other offer.

4. Plan an inspection. Many buyers hire their own inspector, even on a new home. This guide explains why an inspection still matters on a brand-new house.

5. Walk the home before closing. Test every door, including the closets.

What to Check at the Final Walk-Through

Before closing, you walk the finished home and list anything that needs fixing. Bring this list:

1. Every door. Open and close each interior door and each bi-fold closet door. They should move without rubbing.

2. Cabinets and drawers. Check that doors line up and drawers slide smoothly.

3. Countertops. Look for chips or seams in the solid surface and cultured marble.

4. Tile and carpet. Look for cracked tiles, loose grout and carpet seams that lift.

5. Appliances. Turn on the range, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer.

6. Smart-home items. Ask how to set up the Ring doorbell, the Schlage deadbolt and the thermostat.

7. Outside. Walk the brick pavers and look for loose or uneven spots.

Write every item down and get a copy of the list. Ask when each one will be fixed.
