In order to prevent damage during transit. All the bi-fold doors will be fully assembled in the factory, however, in order to prevent damage during transit to the bottom metal rail we remove the bottom roller guide section of the door prior to shipping. Refitting The bottom roller guide section (shown below) can be refitted easily by simply locating the pins on it into the pre drilled holes on the frame and fixing it with the 3 screws provided. The roller section (as shown) can be removed to ease fitting using a 13mm spanner. A hinge pin (supplied) will connect the two door sections (as shown). The plastic covers can then be fitted. Hinge pin fits here If required the bottom roller can be removed to ease fitting using a 13mm spanner These sections will be removed prior to delivery in order to reduce damage.
Adjustment and Glazing requirements for bi-fold doors All Bi Fold Doors must be fitted squarely into their opening to allow correct operation and it is imperative that the head of the frame is secured as firmly as possible. It is also imperative that there is sufficient support at the head, such as a lintel in order to ensure that there is no weight bearing down on the head of the outer frame when it is installed in position. Any bowing of the head will cause the sashes to bind on the cill and will cause damage to the bottom track. We will not be liable for poorly fitted frames and any remedial work carried out to correct this by ourselves may be chargeable. Fitting & Glazing To be carried out prior to Adjustment, the frame must be securely fitted with through frame fixings at centres of no greater than 450mm (to all sections including the frame head). The correct glazing packers must then be fitted as shown and should be tight to the glass, in order to support it s weight in the correct areas. Failure to glaze these products correctly may result in poor operation of the bi fold door and lead to damage. Packer to each Positions leaf as shown
Bi-fold door adjustments Lateral adjustment of Bi Fold Doors can be achieved by using a 5mm allen key inserted in the side of the hinge as shown. You should always start from the first sash, (the one fitted to the frame with butt hinges), and then adjust each one in sequence along the run, ensuring that the gap between each sash remains even. PLEASE NOTE that these adjustments should not be used to correct glazing issues. Height adjustments are made using the top wheel section, as shown on the picture. Use a 17mm spanner to release the lock nut, a 5mm allen key can then be used to raise or lower the sash to required height. PLEASE NOTE that you must check to ensure that the compression adjustment nut on the bottom roller section clears the bottom track, failure to check this may result in the track becoming damaged. Compresion adjustment can be carried out on the roller and wheel sections by loosening the bolt shown in the pictures. Using a 13mm spanner this section can the be moved in and out to set the door compresion, once you have the required compression ensure that you tightened the bolt.
