Locking Mechanisms for Aluminium Bifold Doors?

Aluminium bifold doors are a space-saving alternative for pantry spaces, closets, and linking the inside to the outdoors. They're a wonderful option when there's not enough room for a swinging or sliding door. One or more pairs of hinged doors make up typical aluminium bifold doors. There isn't much in the way of a locking mechanism on these doors. Although these doors may save you room, it does not mean that your belongings will be unprotected. As a result, it's critical to include a locking mechanism in the doors. There are various options for installing a door lock, whether you wish to add a childproof lock or something more secure. You'll simply require simple tools and equipment.

Bolt Installation Surface bolts can be added to the top section of each panel to improve the door's security. Bolts should be inserted into the face area of each panel. Bolts should be placed near to the edge of the pivots or hinges on the opposite side. Install the bolt strike above each panel on the wall or in a frame. To lock the door, slide the bolt lock upward; to open the door, slide it down. Extended bolts are available for those who are shorter. To accommodate the fasteners, you may need to hacksaw a small section of the trim or casing. It may be essential to use shims beneath the bolts in some circumstances.

Including a Keyed Lock in the Design You can improve the door's security by installing a key lock, such as a padlock or a keyed hasp lock. Between two hinged panels, a keyed hasp lock should be fitted. One half of the hasp lock should be mounted towards the edge of one panel. The opposite half of the hasp lock should be mounted towards the edge of the neighbouring panel. As a result, as you try to open the door, the lock will bend and prevent it from opening. To lock or open the hasp lock, you'll need a key.
