Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: Centor Bifold Door adjustment 10Feb 24, 2014 9:27 pm I wouldn't say it is overly common. The doors shouldn't be that heavy to bow the lintel down, unless the lintel was underspec to start with. Hopefully whoever installed the doors left a gap between the door frame and the house frame. If this is the case it is simply a matter of opening the doors up, removing the architrave and rescrewing through the top track to straighten the head. If there is no gap unfortunately it won't be a fun or simple exercise to rectify. First step is to remove your internal architrave and check for clearance. If you have clearance, happy days. If you don't then the onus will definitely fall on the builder to fix. Either way I would recommend notifying the builder as it would seem that you may have a structural issue.

Thanks heaps for your help. I'll contact the builder as my next step. Re: Centor Bifold Door adjustment 12Mar 21, 2014 1:49 pm Sadly this is all too common. I see a lot of bifold doors that have trouble working properly after being adjusted to the max mostly because the builder has put a low spec lintel over the opening and has probably just allowed for the load above the doorway never mind another 300-400kg of doors as well.
