In many homes, bi-fold closet doors are a popular choice due to their space-saving design. However, over time, these doors may start to sag or become difficult to open and close properly. One common issue that homeowners face is the loosening or malfunctioning of pivot pins, which are crucial components in bi-fold door mechanisms. In this blog post, we will explore how you can effectively repair bi-fold closet doors using a pivot pin repair kit.
Before delving into the repair process, it's essential to understand how bi-fold closet doors work. These doors consist of two panels hinged in the middle, allowing them to fold in half when opened. The smooth operation of bi-fold doors relies on pivot pins, which enable the doors to pivot as they open and close.
A pivot pin repair kit typically includes replacement pivot pins, screws, and any necessary tools for the repair process. These kits are designed to provide an easy and cost-effective solution for fixing issues with bi-fold closet doors without the need for professional assistance.
Now, let's walk through the process of repairing bi-fold closet doors using a pivot pin repair kit.
Gather the necessary tools and equipment before starting the repair process.
Carefully remove the old, faulty pivot pins from the doors using a screwdriver or pliers.
Insert the new pivot pins into the designated slots on the doors and secure them in place with screws.
After installing the replacement pivot pins, test the doors to ensure they open and close smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper alignment.
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.
