When it comes to the functionality and aesthetics of bi-fold doors, hinges play a vital role. These small yet powerful components are the unsung heroes that enable smooth operation and durability in bi-fold door systems. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of hinges for bi-fold doors, exploring their types, materials, installation, maintenance, and more.
Butt hinges are the most common type used in bi-fold doors. They offer simplicity and sturdiness, enabling the door panels to fold neatly without protruding.
Piano hinges, also known as continuous hinges, run along the entire length of the bi-fold door. They provide added strength and stability to the folding mechanism.
Stainless steel hinges are popular for their corrosion resistance and sleek appearance, making them ideal for both interior and exterior bi-fold doors.
Brass hinges add a touch of elegance to bi-fold doors. While they require more maintenance to prevent tarnishing, their aesthetic appeal is unmatched.
Aligning hinges correctly is crucial for smooth operation. Ensure that the hinges are evenly spaced and securely attached to the door frame.
Regularly lubricating the hinges with a silicone-based lubricant can prevent squeaking and ensure the doors open and close effortlessly.
Periodically inspecting the hinges for wear and tear can help identify issues early on. Replace any damaged hinges promptly to avoid further damage to the door system.
The load bearing capacity is up to 400kg per panel, which will satisfy the demand for larger opening space, and offer superior visual enjoyment. Any arrangements of opening ways are available for products less than 6 panels, which meets the needs of custom design.
