The customer and the building manufacturer are responsible for ensuring that the
building's structural design is capable of handling all the imposed loads that the
Bi-Fold door exerts on your door header, endwall and building. Your Bi-Fold door
exerts considerable horizontal loads on the building structure in the open position.
We can provide you with those loads that are applied to your building and door.
WARNING:
Improperly designed Bi-fold door header can result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
Your building header design must meet standard deflection and strength criteria,
both in vertical and horizontal directions to support the bi-fold door in all positions.
