FAQs
What color are these magnets?

Each purchase includes a pair of magnets and all necessary fixings and screws for installation.
What is the diameter of each magnet?
The diameter of each magnet is 65mm.
Can these magnets be used on wooden bi-fold doors?

Are these magnets strong enough for exterior bi-fold doors?
They are designed for secure holding power for internal and sheltered exterior bi-fold doors. For exposed exterior doors, consider additional hardware if high wind or elements are a factor.
Troubleshooting
Magnets do not hold doors securely.
Check that the magnets are correctly aligned and making full contact. Ensure no obstructions are preventing proper closure. Verify that the correct screws were used and are fully tightened.
Doors drift slightly even when magnets are engaged.
Re-evaluate the magnet placement for maximum surface contact. Consider if the doors have any natural sag or alignment issues that require adjustment of the door hinges.
Screws do not grip firmly.
Ensure the pilot holes are appropriate for the screws provided and the door material. If the material is soft, consider using a slightly larger screw or an appropriate anchor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the optimal placement for the magnets on the door sashes, ensuring they align perfectly when the doors are in the desired folded position.
