Smarts Visofold 1000 Bifolding Door Overhaul in Martly, Worcester

At Doorveloper, we take pride in ensuring that aluminium doors and windows function as smoothly as the day they were installed. Recently, we carried out a full overhaul of a Smarts Visofold 1000 bifolding door in Martly, near Worcester, restoring it to perfect working condition.
The Problem
The homeowner had been struggling with a broken shoot bolt handle, which had snapped due to excessive force being used when closing the door. The root cause of the issue, however, was more significant—the oak lintel above the door had dropped, causing the head of the door to lower. As a result, there wasn’t enough clearance for the door to operate properly, leading to misalignment and additional strain on the handle.
Our Solution
To restore full functionality, our expert team carried out a meticulous repair process:
- Dismantled the bifolding door to assess and rectify the alignment issue.
- Lifted the door head to compensate for the dropped lintel and restore proper clearance.
- Reassembled the entire system, ensuring smooth and effortless operation.
- Installed a new shoot bolt handle, replacing the broken component with a durable, high-quality alternative.
- Fitted a missing magnetic catch on another door to improve usability and ensure a secure hold when opened.
The Result
Following the overhaul, the Visofold 1000 bifolding door now operates flawlessly, with smooth, effortless movement and a secure locking mechanism. By addressing the underlying structural issue rather than just replacing broken parts, we ensured a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
