Bi-fold doors are a popular choice due to their space-saving design and aesthetic appeal. However, like any other component of your home, they may encounter issues that require repair. This guide will walk you through the steps to effectively repair a bi-fold door, ensuring smooth functionality and longevity.
Before diving into repairs, it's crucial to understand the root cause of the problem. This section will guide you on how to identify common issues such as misalignment, sticking, or broken hardware.
Inspect the top and bottom tracks to ensure they are parallel. Misalignment can lead to difficulties in opening and closing the door.
Examine hinges, pivots, and brackets for signs of wear and tear. Replace any damaged hardware to maintain the door's functionality.
Once you have identified the issue, it's time to proceed with the necessary repairs. This section will provide detailed steps on how to fix common problems encountered with bi-fold doors.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the top and bottom tracks until they are aligned properly. This simple adjustment can resolve sticking issues.
If hinges or brackets are damaged, carefully remove the old hardware and install new replacements. Ensure all components are securely fastened to prevent future issues.
Preventive maintenance is key to prolonging the lifespan of your bi-fold door. This section will offer practical tips on how to care for your door and avoid common repair issues.
Dust and debris can accumulate in the tracks, hindering smooth operation. Regularly clean the tracks and hinges to maintain optimal functionality.
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks and hinges to reduce friction and ensure the door glides effortlessly.
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.
