a Aluminium

What’s a Ready‑to‑Assemble Door Set?

Unlike some others, our Aluminium external door sets are always supplied as the complete package. In other words, they come with everything you need pre-machined, pre-glazed and ready-to-assemble. This includes all the essential items you will need such as fixings, drill bits, packers, even trouble-shooting spares. This is in addition to the hardware, ironmongery, glazing, gaskets and seals all supplied as standard- meaning when your Aluminium door set arrives, you’re fully equipped and ready-to-assemble.

For true peace of mind, you need a Vufold Door Set - every supplied component has been thoroughly tested and approved. That’s why we guarantee all our external
aluminium bifold door sets for 15 years.

“This is our second purchase. We had previously bought a 5m set for our outdoor kitchen area. We are delighted with both. They are relatively simple to assemble and install, and work beautifully.”

How do standard Aluminium door sets compare?
Not very well:

  • Poor, hard to follow instructions, lacking in detail.
  • Doors and frames often have no labelling, assembling them incorrectly may result in lost time and even damage.
  • Doors with loose glass will need the glazing units balancing during installation. This is a specialist job, done incorrectly the doors may not operate properly when installed. This could in turn lead to damage and costly replacement parts.
  • You’ll need to source all the necessary fittings, drills, packers and wedges to secure the frame into the opening.
  • You may find you are forced to use the supplier’s fitting service in order to get a guarantee with your door set, adding significant cost to your project.

“Probably one of the best set of bifolds I have ever fitted. Really easy to put together and once they were in, they opened and closed with ease.”

Ben Hammond  ★★★★★

The Vufold difference?

The Vufold difference is attention to detail.

Vufold completely assemble every Aluminium door set before it leaves the factory to ensure the glazing is perfectly balanced, meaning opening them is a breeze. This takes the need for a specialist fitter out of the equation- meaning you can choose your existing builder to install the door set if you don’t fancy having a go yourself.

When it arrives the majority of the hardware is pre-installed, along with the door gaskets and all keeps and locks aligned, to speed up installation on site. As a ready-to-assemble door set, all the components, fixings and instructions you need are included with Vufold doors - even the right size drill bits!

“Excellent quality and appear to be very well made. Our contractor was surprised that it arrived as a diy self-assembly, however he found the instructions very good and easy to follow. Also the shipment was complete with no shortages.”
