Bifold doors not installed correctly?
Our most common type of Bifold Door Repair Harrogate is to correct faulty installations carried out by builders on new properties or extensions. The doors may well have worked fine for a couple of months, but then start to become difficult to open or close. This is mostly caused by the lack of experience and care in packing the glass properly to make sure the weight of the glass sealed units is pushed to the hinge side. If this isn’t fitted properly, the unsupported side of the door tends to drag down until it forces out the weather seals or perhaps damage the door’s threshold.
The result of a dropped door will also make locking the door difficult, making it a necessity to force the handle and ultimately causing it to break off and sometimes damage the lock itself.
In many cases all that is required to remedy the issue is to reglaze your door correctly and perhaps make a few other minor adjustments to bring your door back to full and proper working order, as it was originally designed to do.

FAQs
Its quite difficult to give an exact time on how long the repair will take, as there are various factors to consider when repairing Bifold Doors
If it’s a simple alignment issue, then we’d estimate around 20–30 minutes.
If the issue is due to the mechanism or the rollers or hinges, then that can take anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour (if we stock the parts needed). If we don’t have the part needed in stock, we will secure the bifold door and order the replacement parts for next day delivery.
The price to fix your Bifold door is going to depend on what the issue is.
If it’s a mechanism replacement/repair, that would typically be an hours labour plus the cost multipoint locking mechanism or gearbox.
We would never know the cost of the parts until on-site or if provided with some pictures then we may be able to offer an estimation of price. It will depend on manufacturer, model and whether the part is still available or has been discontinued etc.
Call us as soon as you notice your lock starting to feel stiff, it may be something as small as a simple misalignment issue. This will save you from a more costly repair in the future.
