One. Is it necessary to use a sealing strip for folding doors?
Folding doors are best sealed at the edges to provide a decorative effect. Additionally, there are gaps between the door and the door frame. Without sealing, this can affect the door's airtightness. However, after sealing, the gaps can be covered.
Additionally, applying a trim around folding doors can also protect the door leaf, extending its lifespan and preventing cracking or deformation issues. Therefore, there are many benefits to sealing the edges of folding doors.
II. Installation Construction Process for Folding Doors
1、Determine the location
Before installation, it is essential to determine the correct location for the folding door. If the door is intended for use as a kitchen or bathroom door, it should be installed in the center of the door frame. If it is intended for use as a living room partition, the appropriate space must be left, and the location must be determined. Finally, measure the straight length to ensure that the track length is correct.
2、Securing
Before fixing, ensure the handle's orientation is correct. It is recommended to choose the appropriate orientation based on your preference. once confirmed, begin installing the track, following the order of installing the center first, then the sides. Use a hammer drill to drive the screws into the track and the door frame or wall.
3、Apply adhesive tape
Open the folding door and, based on the position of the magnets on the door, determine the location for installing the magnetic strips on the wall or door frame. After determining the location for each magnetic strip, use a hammer drill to create holes, and then insert the magnetic strips into the holes one by one.
4、Attach the magnetic plates
Re-fold the door to the center position. Place the magnetic strip with the holes aligned with the center of the hole in the door frame. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws into the door frame, securing the magnetic strip. Repeat this process for each magnetic strip. once all magnetic strips are secured, open the door and align the side without the handle with the magnetic strips.
5、Create a bead around the opening.
Finally, install the prepared door frame profile around the folding door leaf.
