FAQs

Q: What size aperture can the doors be fitted into?
A: The ORIGIN OB36 Bifold Door can be installed into openings ranging from 1400mm to 9000mm wide and above. With multiple configuration options, doors can open in one direction or split to fold into opposite sides of the opening. Consult with your trade partner to determine the best setup for your home.

Q: Do you need planning permission for bifolding doors?
A: Typically, replacing existing doors with bifolds does not require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area, it’s essential to check with your local council. If the doors are part of a new extension, we recommend reviewing local building regulations before installation.

Q: What do I need to do to prepare my home before bifold doors are installed?
A: Your trade partner will ensure the aperture is correctly prepared, and if necessary, an RSJ will be fitted for support. You can help by clearing the workspace and protecting any nearby furniture before installation begins.

Q: How secure are bifolding doors?
A: ORIGIN bifolding doors feature an 8-point locking system, chamfered 20mm linear bolts, 25mm deep-throw security hooks, and a high-security 3-star diamond cylinder. These features make them one of the most secure bifold doors available, complying with PAS 24 standards for security and weather resistance.

Q: Are bifold door hinges secure?
A: Yes. The solid cast zinc hinges are designed for maximum strength and resistance against forced entry, ensuring your home stays safe and secure.

Q: How do bifolding doors work?
A: Bifold doors fold and glide effortlessly along their track. ORIGIN’s precision-engineered carriage system, with high-grade Acetal wheels, ensures smooth, quiet, and efficient operation.

Q: Do bifolding doors add value to a property?
A: Absolutely! The demand for natural light and open-plan living has made bifold doors a highly desirable feature, adding both aesthetic appeal and market value to your property.

Q: Can I have a fixed door or window next to a folding set?
A: Yes. Many homeowners choose fixed doors or windows alongside their bifold sets. Your local ORIGIN installer can provide recommendations based on your space and preferences.
