Installation

Ensure the opening for the bifold doors is properly measured and prepared. Follow the installation guidelines provided in the user manual to correctly install the doors.

Operation

To open the bifold doors, gently push them to one side until fully extended. To close them, pull them back together and secure the locking mechanism if available.

FAQ

Q: Can I install these bifold doors on my own?

A: While it is possible for DIY installation, we recommend consulting a professional for proper installation to ensure safety and functionality.

Q: What should I do if the doors become difficult to operate?

A: Check for any obstructions in the tracks or hinges that may be causing the issue. Lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.

Q: Are these doors energy-efficient?

A: Yes, the dual-pane and triple-pane options with Low-E coatings and Argon gas fill provide excellent insulation properties, making them energy- efficient.
