“Just had a number of Origin products expertly supplied and fitted by NorthWest Bifolds. Honestly, we couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough. We started with the Origin OS44 slimline slider and ended up also going for the OB49 single door and OW70 windows, we were so impressed. The products just have a total quality feel about them and the locking mechanisms are solid and smooth. So much so, that we are already planning on replacing some other doors now! Big shout out to Steve and his NW Bifolds crew. Excellent customer service through out, giving honest advice and guidance with our choice of products. #HappyCustomers.”

“I bought my bifold door through an Origin approved company. I am writing this to make people aware of a problem with the lock on bifold doors. I would like to draw your attention to an incident that happened at my property in July 2020. An attempt was made to gain entry into my house. Luckily the house alarm was activated but in the process the burglar had snapped the lock on my bifold doors and entered into my home. The lock should not protrude as it enables burglars to grip and snap the barrel. When I bought Origin bifold doors I did so after much research. The reason I chose this company was because of the reputation, style and security. I was therefore shocked that anti snap, anti drill and anti bump locks are not fitted as standard. My doors are only 2 years old. I feel that no matter how good the security on the actual door is, if the barrel is easy to break into it defeats the object of the whole system. I complained to Origin and was told that they no longer use 1 star barrels. If they have now changed the locks and they use to a more secure lock then they should have alerted people who had purchased their doors so that they can decide if they wanted to upgrade the barrels themselves. I was so certain for the last 2 years that with their reputation that the doors would have the most secure system on the market. I have now changed the barrel to the maximum security type recommended by the police. If I was given an option at the time of purchase I would have paid an additional amount of money for peace of mind.”

“I couldn’t find a review section for sliding doors so have put it here as my previous attempt to get a response from Origin was not successful! Having had OS-29 doors fitted, we do like the quality and narrow sight lines, but who designed it so that the door handle on the main moving door is used to push against the frame of the next door to move it? Pulling the door open from the outside is a certain way to trap your hand and fingers between handle and frame! Metal to metal contact (stainless steel against painted metal frame) is an extremely poor concept to move these heavy doors, how long before the paint is chipped and damaged and then we find it’s not covered by any guarantee, that’s if we’ve got any fingers left to fill out the form…..!”

“Despite contacting origin to discuss how dangerous the bifold doors we have installed could be we’ve met with nothing but avoidance. If we open the access door and secure it back on to the magnet, we would presume that it would be safe. NO. Today, again, a gust of breeze has caused the door to come lose and slam into the door aperture. If a child had been co I got I. Or out or a hand had been on the frame, serious damage could have occurred When we purchased the doors we saw 2 magnets to secure the open door. When installed there was only one. Despite contacting Origin, and being assured they would provide our supplier with the necessary magnets this has not happened and now our supplier is missing in action and Origin refuse to talk to the customer. My husband is at his wits end with these windows. He’s having to finish installation and sealing himself as we cannot get the fitter to respond to requests to finish the work and Origin refuse to take responsibility for a product that does not live up to its image and advertising I cannot recommend this product at all. It’s not cheap yet I feel we have got a third rate product for a top level price Totally disgusted J Guess”

Good Afternoon, Origin will be able to supply the additional magnet however you would have to request this via the original installer as they will need to install this for you. The Magnets on the bi-fold doors are not designed for wind resistance so we would not recommend relying on them to hold the door in high winds. Kind Regards Origin

“Impossible to get Origin to cover contractual warranty. I installed a $10,000.00 folding door. The hinges broke for the second time. Origin acknowledges parts are under warranty but for the past 8 months it has been IMPOSSIBLE to have them fix the issue. DISHONEST, UNPROFESSIONAL, INCOMPETENT. So ridiculous, I have to get my attorney involved for breach of contract.”

“3 Doors oversized for opening bad design I believe the installation should have been a 4 door as the weight of the three falls to the one side so you can’t open the doors without a struggle and sometimes impossible to close properly to lock them installation perfect but product badly designed , Origin as so many other customers have received complaints but really not interested they always blame the installation not there product they won’t even come out to look at the problem I would not recommend them to anyone kind regards from chris watson at SA68 0xe and if there’s any one out there that could sort these bifolding doors out please contact me on 07957718906”

“We had bifold doors installed and very disappointed as the top of doors do not fit to the seal leaving a gap to allow daylight visible through it and needless to say it also draughty numerous visits by installer nothing gets rectified having spoken to suppliers and yourselves we had no help, and we have a product not up to your sales literature claims it is acceptable that things go wrong sometimes but the lack of assistance in solving problem is very annoying”

“Do not believe that by using an Origin trade partner will guarantee you get good glazing. We have ended up with very poor glass units in our bi-folds (dirty marks, scratches etc). The installer has refused even to come back and see for himself. We thought that as Origin recommended them they would do something to remedy our complaints. How wrong we were. Take my advice and spend your money elsewhere !!!”

Good Afternoon, We apologise for the bad experience that you have been having with your Glazing units and the Trade partner provided. As we are separate a company from our Trade partners, we try to provide as much information as we can, whether it’s in the advice centre https://origin-global.com/advice-centre/what-to-consider-when-looking-for-a-tradesperson or on our find a local installer/ showroom pages when searching, that we are separate companies so that home owners are able to do their own research and due diligence before purchasing. As the aluminium manufacturer, we provide our Trade partners with the frames and components needed and they themselves source the glazing units. If there are any issues with the glazing units then this would have to be discussed with your specific Trade partner in order to assess and rectify any issues you are encountering. Kind regards Origin

“Very poor customer service. We bought Origin bifold doors from an authorised installer. The installer provided an appalling service. They lied about timeframe and also Origin wasn't able to commit to its advertised delivery times. Installer made a poor job and Origin doesn't care. We contacted Origin to look for a solution and they refuse to engage with us, sending us back to the installer who refuses to accept responsibilities. The product is ok. A bit disappointed there are no better ways to keep the access door open. It moves a huge amount even in no wind.”
