Bi-fold door locking mechanism repair in Barnburgh

We recently repaired the locking mechanism on rear bi-fold doors at a property in Barnburgh, near Doncaster.

The doors had become difficult to lock. The customer had to use excessive force to lift the handle and engage the locking points.

During our inspection, we found that poor door alignment had put extra strain on the internal gearbox. This had contributed to the failure of the ERA locking mechanism.

ERA bi-fold gearbox replacement

We replaced the faulty centre case with a genuine ERA 35mm backset bi-fold hookbolt gearbox. This avoided replacing the complete locking mechanism.

We then adjusted and realigned the bi-fold doors so the locking points engaged correctly, without excessive pressure on the handle.

The customer’s doors now open, close and lock smoothly, with no need to force the handle. This repair also avoided the unnecessary expense of replacement doors.
