This does not change the meaning: the product is assembled along the entire length of the door opening and takes up little space.

Accordion door: what is it?

The canvases consist of individual lamellas. Moreover, their size can be easily adjusted by reducing or adding the number of sections. There is only one caveat: large products will require two guides - top and bottom. Otherwise, the mechanism will begin to jam during operation.

Reference! The accordion has a lock that allows you to leave the canvas open in a given position. There are products with two guides, this allows the lamellas to move more smoothly.
