Common Bifolding Door Problems & Solutions
Understanding the most frequent issues and how we fix them

Bifolding Door Maintenance Tips
Keep your doors working perfectly with regular care
🧹 Clean the Tracks
Clean tracks and rollers monthly to prevent dirt buildup. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Remove debris and leaves promptly.
🧴 Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply silicone spray lubricant to hinges, rollers, and tracks twice per year. Avoid heavy oils that attract dust.
🔍 Check Alignment
Ensure doors close smoothly without binding. If they start to stick or bind, contact us immediately to prevent further damage.
🪟 Clean Glass Regularly
Clean glass panels inside and out with non-abrasive cleaners. Inspect for condensation between panes indicating seal failure.
🔒 Test Locks
Check that locks engage smoothly and securely. Clean lock mechanisms and apply light lubricant if needed.
🌡️ Monitor Seals
Inspect seals and weatherstripping for wear or damage. Draughts or water ingress mean seals need replacing soon.
⚠️ Professional Inspection: We recommend annual professional inspections to catch issues early. This prevents expensive repairs and keeps your doors in peak condition. Call DWLG for a free inspection!
