Dance's pivoted arrangement allows each of the twin leaves of the door to lie flat within the 4 feet 1¼ inches deep door jamb. The width of the double door is 6..11 5/8 plus 3 4/8 wide.

For Dance's interest in 'very large folding doors' see his letter to Lord Londonderry of Mount Stewart, C.1803 ([SM D3/9/1a]).
