Information Sheet

Rylock Commercial Series Bifold Doors are a bold architectural statement, available in 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 panel configurations. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor access, the 50mm sill can be rebated for a “zero threshold” installation, which is compliant with AS1428 Design for Access and Mobility. The product’s heavy duty extrusions are assembled with stainless steel fixing plates to maintain each panel’s squareness; and fitted with premium Centor™ bottom-rolling hardware for smooth operation and durability.

Discreet pull handles between each panel assist in engaging flush-bolt compression latches for secure locking, ensuring resistance to air and water infiltration. Bifold Doors are glazed in accordance with AS 1288 Glass in Buildings, and whilst a large range of options is available, all products are glazed with Grade A Safety Toughened Low-e Double Glazing (Argon Fill) as a standard specification. Products are powder coated from a selection of 30 standard colours and textures and tested by the CSIRO for durability.

FAQ:
Bifold and Folding Doors

Why should I choose aluminium bifold doors?

Aluminium bifold doors are an excellent choice in almost any Australian home for the following reasons:

  • Durability: Rylock products are hand powder coated in-house, tested by CSIRO for durability and can withstand Australia’s harsh climate.
  • Low maintenance: Product care with Rylock aluminium bifold doors is easy. Smart design features such as dust covers and quality hardware ensure they require minimal upkeep and are quick & easy to clean.
  • Strength and security:  Rylock bifold doors provide a strong barrier against intruders.
  • Slim profiles: Maximise your glass area and treat yourself to unobstructed views. Bifold doors also give you greater floor space than sliding doors because they ‘stack’ to one side.
  • Design flexibility: Your bifold doors are precision-engineered and are customised to suit your project, with a variety of panel configurations that open back against the door frame in different ways.
How do double glazed concertina doors improve energy efficiency?

New homes in Australia must include design features to keep them cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Double glazed concertina doors help meet specific criteria by providing enhanced insulation through two layers of glass with a gap between them. This acts to reduce the transfer of heat and the result is a home that feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

On cool days, the concertina folding style creates a wide open space, allowing for superior ventilation. The result is lower energy bills as well as a strikingly beautiful home.

Double glazed concertina doors improve energy efficiency in your home by:

  • Reducing heat transfer: Two layers of glass create an insulating barrier, minimising heat loss in winter and reducing solar heat gain in summer.
  • Minimising draughts: Rylock’s double glazed concertina doors have tight seals around the door panels to reduce draughts.
  • Reducing energy bills: By maintaining a more comfortable indoor temperature, double glazed concertina bifold doors will help you save on heating and cooling costs – making them a sustainable upgrade or addition to your home
Can bifold doors be used as internal room dividers?

Yes, bifold doors can be an elegant and functional way to divide internal spaces. Create a flexible space within your home and turn two rooms into one when you’re entertaining or need extra room.

Are bifold doors secure?

Rylock’s glass bifold doors are designed with security in mind. They feature multi-point locking systems and robust construction to deter intruders. Whilst Rylock offers high performance Grade ‘A’ Safety Toughened Low-e glass as a standard specification, you can also select Grade ‘A’ Laminated glass for additional peace of mind.

How many panels will I need for my folding doors?

Configuration of your accordion doors / bifold doors will depend on the space and your personal preferences. Our consultants will walk you through your options in detail.

How heavy are bifold doors?

Ease of use is supported by Superior Centor™ top and bottom-rolling hardware, and pull handles.

Can I replace my existing French doors with glass bifolding doors?

Rylock bifold doors are generally suitable for door and window replacement projects. The advantage is a seamless flow from inside to out, plus the energy-saving benefits of double-glazing. Contact us to explore your options and arrange a quote with an Authorised RylockCare Installer.
