Aluminium Bi-Fold Door Repairs in Oxford: Restoring a Large 8-Panel Door to Perfection
At Doorveloper, we specialise in tackling even the most challenging aluminium bi-fold door repairs, ensuring functionality and durability for years to come. Recently, we worked on a large 8-panel bi-folding door in Oxford that required significant attention. The result? A fully operational door and a very satisfied customer who can once again enjoy seamless access to their outdoor space.
The Problem: A Misaligned 8-Panel Door
This impressive 8-door system was initially installed in 2008/9, spanning a 6.4m opening and folding entirely to one side. Over the years, the door had dropped due to inadequate support for the top-hung system, causing:
- Misalignment and difficulty in operation
- Wear and tear on hinges, handles, and rollers
- Structural issues with the supporting steel beam
These problems required a comprehensive solution to restore the door’s functionality and structural integrity.
The Doorveloper Solution
Our team approached this project with a thorough assessment, followed by a detailed and professional repair process:
- Replacement of components:
- Supplied and installed 6 new roller hinge assemblies, 3 new hinges, and 4 new flat handles to restore smooth operation.
- Straightened the door head:
- Addressed the alignment issues by straightening the aluminium units and resetting the supporting structure.
- Structural support adjustment:
- Used acro-props to lift the steel beam supporting the top track and reset its fixings, ensuring proper support for the system.
- Glass removal and reinstallation:
- Carefully removed and reinstalled all glass panels to allow precise adjustments and alignments.
- Cleaned and tested:
- Ensured the system was left spotless and tested extensively to confirm its functionality.
The result was a fully restored 8-panel bi-folding door, ready for regular use, and a delighted customer.
What Our Customer Had to Say
*"Unlike many other folding door repair firms that I contacted prior, this time I was not fobbed off for seemingly spurious reasons, such as 'Contact the supplier.'
The guys at Doorveloper attended my house, nearing the edge of their service area in Oxfordshire. They had a thorough investigation of the problems, from which I could appreciate that they knew what they were talking about...
It was a hot June day and they worked around 11 hours through, on top of their extensive travel... The repair involved taking out all the glass, straightening the aluminium units, and replacing the hinges, handles, and rollers where required...
Several months later, with plenty of use over the summer, the doors have functioned exactly as they left them... More importantly, two-thirds of the back of my house opens again and this is why, several months later, we can appreciate the repair performed by Doorveloper."*
