Specialty Openings - Bi-Fold/Bi-Pass
If a customer wants to use our frame with a bi-fold door, which
frame do we recommend?
Our standard frame without hinge or
strike preps i.e. cased opening WITH STOP. This works perfectly for a
bi-fold door because when the door is mounted behind the stop, the stop on
the header conceals the 1/2" track. The stop on the uprights conceals
the gap and the result gives a recessed "picture frame" effect.
If a customer wants to use our frame for bi-pass doors, what must we
recommend?
Our standard frame without hinge or strike preps
i.e. cased opening NO STOP, must be ordered. The fascia track and hardware
is secured to the underside of the header. The frame header must be
ordered undersized to create an overlap. Example: A header for a 5-0
opening should be ordered 59" or less.
