The bi-fold door includes a first panel and a second panel each having an inner surface and an outer surface and pivotably connected together by a living hinge. The living hinge includes a hinge member that extends between first and second securing members, wherein the first securing member extends along and is attached to an inner edge of the first panel and the second securing member extends along and is attached to an inner edge of the second panel. The hinge member includes opposite edges, wherein the first and second securing members each include an elongated groove defined therein, wherein the elongated grooves capture the opposite edges of the hinge member. An outer edge of the first panel includes a first nesting member thereon. An inner edge of the wall adjacent the outer edge of the first panel includes a second nesting member thereon. At least a portion of the first and second nesting members overlap in a transverse direction when the bi-fold door is in the closed position. An outer paddle handle is secured to and extends outwardly from the first panel such that it overlaps at least a portion of the wall. An inner paddle handle is secured to the second panel and overlaps at least a portion of the first panel.
