The Henderson Bifold system is a comprehensive solution for installing bifold doors, designed to provide smooth operation and versatile configurations. This manual provides detailed fitting instructions, technical specifications, and usage guidelines for various bifold door setups.
The Henderson Bifold system enables the installation of multiple door panels that fold and stack, allowing for wide openings and efficient space utilization. It supports different stacking configurations, including doors that stack perpendicular to the opening (Layout 1) and doors that stack at an angle to the opening (Layout 2). The system is designed for both residential and commercial applications, offering robust components for long-lasting performance. Key components include a top track, bottom pivot, top pivot, sliding guide, and various fixings. The system accommodates different door panel widths and weights, ensuring flexibility in design.
The system supports various door panel configurations, with specific Y dimensions (width of the door opening) for different kit types:
The manual provides formulas for calculating the required hinge dimensions (A) based on the opening width (Y) for different numbers of door panels:
The Henderson Bifold system offers two primary layout options for door stacking:
The combination of top-hung track, bottom pivot, and sliding guides ensures smooth and effortless operation of the bifold doors. The components are designed to minimize friction and provide stable movement, even with heavier door panels.
The system allows for some adjustability during installation to ensure perfect alignment and operation. The bottom pivot and top pivot can be adjusted to fine-tune the door position and ensure proper engagement with the track.
The system is available in various kit types (B10/2, B15/4, B20/4, B25/4) that include all necessary components for a complete bifold door installation, simplifying the purchasing process. Note that the B10/2 kit does not require the specific component shown in Diagram 6 (likely a specialized bracket or guide for multi-panel systems).
The components are manufactured from robust materials, designed to withstand regular use and provide long-term durability. This minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
The exposed surfaces of the track and hardware can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris, maintaining smooth operation.
While not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts, typically, bifold door systems benefit from periodic lubrication of the sliding guides and pivots with a suitable lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to ensure continued smooth operation and prevent wear.
Regular inspection of the track, pivots, and sliding guides for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fixings is recommended. Any worn or damaged components should be replaced promptly to maintain the safety and functionality of the bifold doors.
The manual is identified as Part Number: 300418, Issue 6, dated December 2011, indicating that it is a revised and updated version of the instructions, reflecting ongoing product development and improvements.
