There's no threshold to step on or over. The door hangs from the top. This is a walk in closet (before all the shelves and stuff were put in), but it would work for a smaller closet, too.

Nice system, but the limitation is that access to the closet is limited by the length of the headrail in relation to the width of the door. Bifolds allow for a wider opening without requiring room to either side of the closet opening. This would be very good when there was sufficient room to slide the door past the closet opening. Not as clean as a pocket door, but a lot less work, especially as a retrofit.

Interior doors don't usually have thresholds, as they are used to as a weather seal. Bifolds and many pocket doors don't use bottom tracks. Some sliders use a bottom track, some don't.
