Customer Reviews for Spectrum Encore 36 in. x 80 in. Oak Vinyl Accordion Door with Hardware

To be honest - It's garbage! I bought it for $86, they just raised the price to $95. and it's way overpriced. The construction is very flimsy, the latch mechanism I am doubting will last 6 months and I am concerned that the vertical slats will crack within a year. If you buy this THING, let me inform you that cutting down the length/height is rather difficult as you have to remove the lower 10+ screws which allows the slats to move freely and makes it very difficult to keep lined up even when taped in place. And they say to use a hack saw, good luck with that and getting a straight line cut and without cracking. I did a test cut first using a hack saw, mini-circular saw and a Buzz-tool. The buzz gave the best results with the least damage and reasonable speed. BE SURE YOU MASK the thing together and use 2" tape so that it actually holds AND to protect your finishing edges. The finish is DELICATE to say the least and scratches fairly easily. If I was paying $30 I would be OK with it but certainly not for nearly $100!

Very easy to install.

Looks and works real well.

Horrible product. As soon as I hung the door, the panels would slide off the rubber trim. How can Home Depot sell such a defective product.

Easy to install, but wish it included a magnetic lock to help keep the "door" closed.

Very Sturdy, also the company gives u 4 yr warranty

The instructions for this installation was terrible. I had to go to a YouTube video for help on the joining of two doors. No matter what I do there is still a gap at the bottom when the doors are closed.

Good door and well made , even came with silicone lube for top tracks - would recommend

Good quality and easily to install. Was hoping the locking mechanism is a bit more tight.

This door has 4 panels and does not always open smoothly, I'm disappointed. The door I replaced had 7 panels, I believe from the same manufacture. It was in use extensively for more than 10 years before the flexible connectors started to fail.

Ummm there was only one thing. A previous door simmular to this one I just purchased had a magnet on by the door handle that would click to the magnet piece that was on the door frame. That was an old door and a cheapper price purchase like 15 years ago... Otherwise I am very satisfied with the door, color is perfect, nice and sturdy, and love they way it fits with and length wise. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Color is beautiful, easy install, seems very sturdy and fits & closes as it should.

Looks good, works good, easy to install, too!

Very easy to install. Works great

Oddly was exactly what I needed for an unusual space. Blended in to the existing decor well and was quite easy to modify height/width and install.

My son and I put this door up in less than 20 minutes. It has been up for about 3 weeks and is working beautifully. Very happy with the product and instructions.
