Common Bi-fold Door Problems We Fix
Bi-fold doors contain a complex set of moving parts. Over time, or after heavy use, small issues can appear that stop the doors from working properly. Our engineers are trained to spot and resolve these problems quickly. Some of the most common issues we repair include:
-
Sticking or Jamming Doors – Often caused by misaligned tracks, worn hinges, or dirt building up in the rollers.
-
Dropped or Sagging Panels – When a panel drops, the doors don’t align or close properly, which can leave gaps and draughts.
-
Faulty Locking Systems – From broken handles to damaged multipoint locks, a faulty mechanism can compromise your security.
-
Stiff or Noisy Operation – Doors that grind, scrape, or feel stiff are usually suffering from damaged rollers or track wear.
-
Damaged Seals and Draughts – Worn seals let in cold air, moisture, and even pests. We can replace seals to restore insulation.
-
Broken Glass Units – Cracks or misting in the glazing affect both appearance and efficiency. We can replace units without disturbing the frame.
Whatever the issue, we aim to repair rather than replace. Full replacements are expensive, and in most cases unnecessary—targeted repairs restore your doors to full working order at a fraction of the cost.
