“Absolutely wonderful. Doors are well packed for delivery and safely arrived. Good quality product. Finding the door handle difficult to lock and operate even after adjustments. We found it very difficult to instal as we had a catnic lintel and not an rsj. We had to put in a boxed steel into the lintel as the doors are top hung. The manual recommends doing all the plastering and wet trades prior to the arrival of the door however not sure how you are then meant to bolt the frame into the rsj if they are not exposed. My builder would have liked to see the hinges not so close to the edge of the door. Other than that they are in and look wonderful. I would strongly recommend these doors to others.”

“I cannot start to say how deeply disappointed I am with this purchase. I had my building plans reviewed twice at two different shows by the guys on the Vufold stand. The plans clearly show that I wanted both door sets to fold back from steel corner pillar leaving nothing but the corner pillar and a view of the garden. Despite this fact I was advised to get the 10ft door and an 8ft door. Upon installation I found that the 10ft door set (even number of door panels), left a door at the pillar whilst the remainder of the set folded back . The whole concept of the extension was to have a virtually uninterrupted view across the garden, unfortunately I now have an un-retained door hinged off the pillar with nowhere to retain it in the open position. This door will now have to always remain closed even when the door set is open. I was totally unaware of this and would have fitted a 9ft door set (this is an odd number of door panel set and would have resolved the problem) or used a different supplier. Again the response of Vufolds team and management to this problem was not treated with the urgency I would have expected which did not allow me to consider the option of not fitting the 10ft door set or changing to a 9ft door set. The quality of the product is good but does not make up for this horrible design shortfall. M Tomkins.”

“Doors look fantastic and open and close really easily. Look very solid. I wasn't here when they were fitted, the builders said they were a little tricky. Service was great. They arrived on time and in perfect condition.”

“Very high quality doors. My builder fitted the doors and complained that they where much harder to fit than the usual bifolds he fits. As they are top hung, he had to drill holes to pass the bolts into the support beam. It took my builders around 4 days to fit two doors. .”

“we installed these at our home in Hemel hempstead. I was a bit sceptical as they couldn't provide a reference installation somewhere I could see or a sample. The delivery was spot on, the product can only be described as great and we simply cannot imagine our kitchen without these beautiful doors. I do not know how long lasting they will prove to be but only time will tell.”

“The quality of the product is very good, however whilst we had little difficulty installing the doors (we have a 5 and a 6 door unit), because we made frames of the correct dimensions to get the openings correct, setting up the 5 door version is still not right and because of pressures of the build we are leaving it for the moment and not using the door but will come back to adjust it later. Some of the instructions are not that useful, leaving the installation until all wet services are completed was not practical, especially since the doors are fixed to an RSJ which in our case has subsequently been covered and rendered. Overall satisfied with the doors and will be even happier once we have the five door one working smoothly.”
