Sliding Patio and Ultimate French Closet Bifold Doors

General Care

The Sliding Patio Door and Sliding French Door require very little maintenance to keep them functioning efficiently. Most problems can be eliminated by keeping the sill clean, ensuring smooth door operation.

Chemicals, solvents, paints and other harsh substances should never come in contact with the sill. Remove any paint, grease or caulk with 50-70% isopropyl alcohol.

Wood doors need to adjust to humidity levels in a home and may warp slightly as seasons change - allow one full year for your door to go through this process.

It is very seldom that door rollers, lock and hinges require lubrication. Occasionally use spray lubricant to keep operation smooth (rollers are visible underneath the operator panel).

Problem: Closet Bifold Doors panel does not slide smoothly.

Solution: You may need to adjust your door rollers from the inside. First, make sure your door is unlocked. Then, push the operator panel almost to the side of the jamb. A narrow strip of daylight will be visible between the door panel and the jamb.

If the gap appears wider at the top of the panel than at the bottom, adjust the roller nearest the frame downward or the roller on the side toward the stationary panel upward until the panel is level and the daylight strip is evenly spaced front top to bottom.

Adjust rollers by turning a flathead screwdriver in the adjustment holes at the base of your operator panel. If the gap appears wider at the bottom, first adjust the roller closest to the frame upward or the roller near the stationary panel downward until the panel sits level on the track.

Problem: Screen does not slide smoothly.

Solution: Check for debris collected in the sill track. Remove debris and clean the track with a mild detergent solution. Also check to see if you need to adjust the screen by turning the adjustment screws.

Problem: Sliding French door does not lock properly.

Solution 1: Close the panel slowly and check to see if the panel is hitting the keeper(s). If this is the case, loosen the two screws attaching the keeper to the jamb. Slide the keeper to the left or right as necessary and tighten screws.

Make sure that the keeper is in a vertical fashion. Adjust one keeper at a time and check panel operation before moving on to the next.

Solution 2: If the panel locks but does not seal tightly or will not lock at all, the center keeper depth needs to be adjusted.

To adjust keeper depth, remove the two screws attaching the keeper assembly to the locking jamb.

Remove the cover plate, keeper, and shims.

At the factory, one shim is installed in front of the keeper and one is installed behind the keeper. If more locking force is desired (panel does not seal tightly) move the back shim to the front. If less locking force is desired, move the front shim to the back. Once shim adjustment is made, replace the cover plate and screws. Make certain that the keeper is kept in a vertical fashion. Check panel for proper operation and adjust if necessary.

Ultimate Sliding French doors with multi-point locking hardware have three keepers while standard doors have two. Keeper depth adjustment is only possible on the center keeper for Ultimate units or on the bottom keeper for standard units.

Solution 3: If a thumb turn has a high operating force this may mean that the handle is not in line with the lock causing binding between the lock and handle. Remove and realign handle.

Glass pane Closet Bifold Doors  - SWK57/DG8

CLICK HERE TO VISIT DUNBARTON FOR MORE INFORMATION

Slide-a-way Closet Bifold Doors systems are well thought-out and practice oriented with a taut, compact design and invisibly built-in furniture.  These Closet Bifold Doors are ideal as a decorative screen between two rooms or as wall closet doors.  Their function, location and installation determine the choice of material and sliding wall type. 

Glazed in full material, single or multiple set up are all options to consider.  Closet Bifold Doors are very topical and trendy but are less appropriate in places with high walk through frequency or with major acoustics or thermal requirements.  An ideal example of a glass pane application would be between a kitchen and living room, living room and office, bedroom and dressing room, bathroom etc.  These Closet Bifold Doors are also less appropriate between hall and living room or night hall and bedroom etc because there are other, generally higher requirements for these areas. 

A golden rule to remember – Get proper information on application and preparation, well ahead of time.  Slide away Closet Bifold Doors are suspended from a top rack which is fixed to the wall or under the ceiling or lintel and sometimes even partly built into the ceiling.  The walls have to be solid and strong, and in the case of system walls, additional reinforcements should be provided in the wall at the level of the track mounting.  As regards floor track, the option is a local hidden track or in certain situations a continuous floor track for some multiple set ups. 

Slidingglass doors with large and elegantly decorated glass panels can add clean and bright effects to your living spaces and will help create cozy living conditions.

Sliding doors have taken a bad rap because they are usually installed with very cheap hardware that makes them awkward to open and close after only a few years’ use.  A Closet Bifold Doors takes up little space, disappearing into a wall when not in use.  With proper hardware, a Closet Bifold Doors will last ages and can be just as easy to maneuver.  When used in tandem with multiple overhead tracks, Closet Bifold Doors can be designed to open a wide area.  A swinging door by contrast takes up valuable floor space as it is opened and at most can be made only two door leafs wide.

Sliding doors, whether solid or glass, have some major advantages over their swinging counterparts.  When fully open, they disappear into the wall and take up no floor space.  The opening between rooms appears as simply a framed opening and most people wouldn’t even notice the absence of doors.  But when there is need for acoustical separation, the Closet Bifold Doors can be kept closed and the desired quiet obtained. 

Let’s us consider the example of using a sliding glass door to separate a kitchen from the living room.  A Closet Bifold Doors used in this type of instance may remain open most of the time but can be closed shut to muffle the sounds of clanging pots and pans when food is being prepared in the kitchen.  The Closet Bifold Doors, without any intrusion of space, helps to keep the two areas separate and alternately combined to create a larger, single area of space.
