 Prologue:

Thank you for selecting our products.

To ensure correct installation, please read this manual thoroughly.
In the first chapter, a general description of system components is presented with the technical
specifications. Installation instructions for a typical folding door with three panels come next as well as
calculations in order to determine the track length and the panels width. An example of multiple panel
folding door is also described, including the steps for installing the splice joint .B49. Chapter 4 presents
an example of a folding door, harmonica type.

1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
of NIKO folding door systems

1.1 General description

NIKO®” provides a wide range of zinc plated products for sliding and folding door applications in
order to meet the high demands of door hardware market for domestic, commercial and industrial
applications. Our products are also available in stainless steel series 304/316.

Key design characteristics of Niko folding door

fittings:

1. We have achieved the highest EN 1527

certification ranking
2. Five different track profiles.
3. All our products are zinc plated, which allows
smoother running of our wheels in the
track profiles and uniform color among our
components.
4. Our track profiles have an unrivaled compact
construction and therefore require less space.
5. Simple installation and adjustment.
6. Our wheels and bearings are custom
made and are significantly more durable
under load than standard bearings.
7. The NIKO enclosed track tapered design enables
self-alignment of the wheel hangers and reduces
the possibility of dust build up.
8. Greater aesthetic appeal as the guide track is
recessed (concealed) to the floor.
9. Quiet and effortless operation.
10. Flat folding for easier access and space saving.
11. Technical data:
Min/Max door panel width: 600mm - 900mm
Max door panel weight: 300kg
Max door panels: 9 - NIKO recommends 7 panels
for optimal operation

3 MULTIPLE PANEL FOLDING DOOR

.B49

When using more than one piece of

track profiles (due to many panels
or group of panels) a splice joint
(.B49) is required in order to join
the tracks.

B49: Installer should follow the next steps:

STEP 1: The edges of each track enter

the joint and meet in the centre.

STEP 2: The four bolts at the top of the

joint have to be bolted so that the track
has tight contact with the joint, creating
a flat running surface through the joint.

STEP 3: The four side bolts are used to

achieve horizontal alignment within the
joint.

3 Multiple panel folding door
Important information for multiple panel folding door system

When you are using splice joint it is necessary to place support brackets at the right and
left side of the splice joints with the minimum distance between the joint and the bracket.

An odd number of panels indicates that the last panel will operate as an opening door.
At the bottom of previous panel a stabilization latch must be installed.

An application with 2 group of panels, requires that at least the one of them has to have
odd number of panels so when groups meet in the middle, the wheel hangers won’t hit
each other.

For wide door openings, NIKO recommends two groups of panels (one group folds at the
right side and the other at the left). For optimal operation, when having one group of pan-
els, do not use more than 7 panels.

Care must be taken with the following:

 Alignment of the two parts both to horizontal and vertical level is absolutely necessary in order to
avoid any problem to trolleys rolling inside the tracks. The gap between the two parts of track must
be as small as possible.

Track Profiles should be

vertical and horizontal aligned

 Pay particular attention when supports are used around a splice joint. The joint is used only for
connection and does not support any load. The joint must be supported either side by additional
support brackets. These supports must not be omitted.

4.1.1 Calculation of panels width

Dividing (opening width + c/2* + d/2**) by the total number of half panels, the width of the half
normal panel is calculated. Multiply by 2 (x2) to calculate normal panel width.
To calculate the fixed panel width, subtract (c/2+d/2) from the half normal panel width.
One normal panel (x) is 2 half panels.

Calculation:
Example: 4 and 1/2 folding door panels 3000 + 20 + 4 = 3024mm
Clear opening width = 3000mm Half Normal Panel width (x/2) : 3024 ÷ 9 = 336mm
Panel thickness (c) = 40mm Normal panel width (x) : 336 x 2 = 672mm
Hinge diameter (d) = 8mm Fixed panel width (z) : 336 - 24 = 312mm

for safety - operation

Meaning of symbols

WARNING Warns you about the health and indicates possible risks of injury or risks to the machine/other
CAUTION objects

PROHIBITED Indicates an action that is not permitted

NOTE Highlights tips and information for you

FOLDING DOOR ELEMENTS

The panel weight must not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of wheel hangers.
Every second panel, a wheel hanger must be installed.

No change should be made nor intervention in the basic elements of folding door system
by unauthorised personnel.
Ensure that the frame (casing) can endure the weight of the door. A frame without suf-
ficient strength may result in improper and slower movement of the system or it may
cause the door to drop down.
Only trained personnel must be involved with installation and operation. If the system is
not installed correctly, the door will not operate smoothly, and or may cause injury.

It is recommended that the folding system should be installed by at least two people. One
person could handle the door panel while the other adjust and install the folding system
hardware.
Do not try to use this product for any other purposes than the one described in this manual.

Do not use the parts for applications that are out of specification.

PERSONAL SAFETY

People involved in the installation process should always wear protective clothing.

Never put your hand inside the track during operation.

DISPOSAL
Dispose in accordance with local, state and national regulations.

GENERAL RULES
 Once the installation has been completed, make sure to check that the finished product
is safe and well-functioning.

Wall requirements and fixings:
 The substructure /wall must be level and vertical and able to bear permanent loads.
 Depending on the door weight and the substructure/wall , fixings must be sufficiently
dimensioned.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Version June 2017
6 Schedule
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

The first inspection should be done one month after the folding door’s installation.
At that time, the following should be checked:
 Horizontal and vertical alignment of the track profile must be checked.
 All the elements of the folding door have to be inspected for any unusual wear-out.
 All the bolts and nuts should be properly tightened.
 All splice joints have to be aligned correctly.
 All the wheel hangers have to roll smoothly.

Even though “NIKO®” folding door systems do not require any special maintenance, periodic checks
should be done. These checks combined with proper installation increase the system’s lifetime.
