7.6.7 Bi-Fold Doors
Operation
These instructions are relevant for doors that open inwards
or outwards.
• Lock off each door individually starting from
the hinge side.
Unlocking and opening • F  inally turn the handle on the master door and insert and
turn the key to lock.
• Insert the key and turn it to unlock. Maintenance
• T  urn the handle gently as far as it will go and pull/push
the door away from the frame to 90º. Open each of the
remaining doors individually by turning the handles and
disengaging the locking mechanisms. • E  nsure all moving parts are kept free and clear of obstruction.
Do not trap or jam items in the door to prevent it from
closing. The track and running gear are liable to attract leaves
and dirt and should be checked and cleaned out with a small
soft brush on a regular basis or before use where there has
been a long period of non-operation.
• O
 nce all the locks are disengaged, push the doors away
from yourself until they fold flat against each other.
Closing and locking
• Close the doors by pushing them simultaneously away from
the open position starting on the hinged side. Do not pull
or drag the first door by its handle as this can restrict the
operation of the runners and in worst cases cause it to jam.
• L  ubricate all moving parts at least once a year (at least
twice a year if your door has external tracks) with a
light multi-purpose oil or a light acid-free lubricant (e.g.
Petroleum jelly) Do not use spray oil or acidic lubricant. To
prevent excessive lubrication a lightly oiled cloth can be
wiped around all moving parts.
7.6.8 Sliding Patio Doors
Operation Maintenance
T hese instructions are relevant whether the sliding pane is
internal or external. • Ensure all moving parts are kept free and clear of
obstruction. Do not trap or jam items in the door to
prevent it from closing. The track and running gear are
liable to attract leaves and dirt and should be checked and
cleaned out with a small soft brush on a regular basis or
before use where there has been a long period of non-
operation.
Unlocking and opening
• Insert the key and turn it to unlock.
• The door is opened by operating the
actuating lever to release the locking
mechanism. By pulling the handle the door
will slide sideways. Be careful not to slide
the door too fast wide open onto its stop as
this may cause the opening door to bounce
and cause damage to its runners.
Closing and locking
• Lubricate all moving parts at least once a year (at least
twice a year if your door has external tracks) with a
light multi-purpose oil or a light acid-free lubricant (e.g.
Petroleum jelly) Do not use spray oil or acidic lubricant. To
prevent excessive lubrication a lightly oiled cloth can be
wiped around all moving parts.
• To close the door, reverse the process. Push the door gently
into the closed position and throw the actuating lever to
engage the locking mechanism.
• Insert and turn the key to lock.
