All our sliding folding doors use the Hafele Centor E3 system. Hafele are the leading suppliers of sliding and folding hardware in the UK.
The E3 system is designed for residential or commercial installations and each door can weigh up to 80kgs opening inwards or outwards. Because the system is top hung on highly engineered trolley hangers, the panels open effortlessly even when operating with the maximum of 16 panels, of up to 1000mm wide. The maximum door height is 3000 mm. Because the hardware has gone through extensive weather and performance testing, Hafele can offer a 10 year guarantee on this product. And it utilises the properties of stainless steel and non-ferrous materials to achieve outstanding corrosion resistance even in the most hostile environments, including coastal applications.
A system called Sure-lockTM on the pivots and carriers allows the door panels to be lifted or lowered simply with just a screwdriver. There are no lock nuts which could come undone or spanners to lose. If the house settles over time, the panels can be easily adjusted without any fuss. Equally suitable for dividing large internal spaces, or for entrances into garden rooms, conservatories, orangeries etc.
