Installation Information

We deliver your Vufold folding sliding door sets and French Patio door pair sets with a comprehensive, step-by-step instruction booklet to guide you - or your installer - through every step of the installation.

Vufold internal and external folding sliding doors and French patio doors come virtually fully machined and pre-sized to your specification. The only machining you need to do yourself is to fit the door handles. The rest is simply a question of assembling the folding sliding doors and frames. But don’t worry, we make this as easy as possible for you, as well.

The track and aluminium cill are pre-fitted to the timber parts of the frame. All you need to do is assemble your door frame using the screws provided.

We pre-drill or clearly mark the holes where the hardware fits. All of the fixings for our external folding sets to secure the frame into the brickwork are provided, as are the fixing screws for securing the door frame head into the steel lintel (for RSJ fixing you will need your own nuts and bolts, or seek advice from a structural engineer). We even send you the correct diameter and length of HSS and masonry drill bits to make sure you’ve got the right sizes, plus the driver bits to fit the screws.

Any joiner or experienced DIYer should be able to fit Vufold folding sliding doors and French patio doors without any problem. But if you do need any advice on the installation, please contact us. We’d be delighted to help.
