Fitting our bifolding doors is not difficult, but it does require a lot more precision, knowledge and experience than fitting other aluminium window and door systems. The essential things to remember are that when fitting Bifolding doors the cill / threshold, head and jambs must be fitted dead level and square, otherwise the Bifolding doors will not operate correctly. The doors must also be Toe and Heeled correctly in the positions shown in our our Installation manuals (see PDF downloads right). If the correct Toeing and Heeling procedure must be undertaken to ensure correct and sustained operation of your doors. The packers support the weight of the door when it is open, preventing the frames from dropping.

Dont Want To Do This Yourself?
We have found that many trade companies do not want the fuss and hassle associated with fitting bifolding doors, this is why we have introduced what we refer to as our fixing service. Designed specifically to help out builders, our trade customers and prevent site visits later on when the doors have dropped. We come out onto site and fit your doors into an existing and prepared aperture for you, leaving them in a fully working condition with nothing left to do, but make good.
We can also provide onsite tuition, training and advice on how to fit our folding doors so that you can give your fitting teams the opportunity to fit our bi-folding doors more confidently on future jobs.
