Sticky Bifold Door

[ldownes24]

Hi chaps,

I'm currently renovating a 2 bed house and have found the resources here invaluable.

Now I have a question of my own.

I've recently have a 3 leaf aluminium bifold system installed. All three doors open out and swing from right to left.

The problem is the door, when opening, sticks to the frame; the rubber gasket appears to be the problem. Opening the door is fine...

Any idea's as to a solution?

Bump - the rubber gasket is catching on the locking stile - any ideas?

Spray some furniture polish onto the rubber

Just an update, bought some silicone lubricant from Halfords and its solved the issue.

Thanks,

Luke

Furniture polish contains silicone and that is the essential bit
