Why is my folding closure not opening or closing properly?

The following are the reasons why your folding closure won't open or close:

1. Obstruction: Check to ensure that no obstructions are blocking the track, wheels, or hinges of the closure.

2. Jammed parts: Inspect all the parts of the closure and see if any parts are bent, warped, or jammed. If you notice any damaged parts, try to repair them or replace them if necessary.

3. Damaged track: The track on which the closure runs may be damaged. If this is the case, you may need to replace the track.

4. Incorrect installation: If your closure was not installed correctly, it may not be able to operate smoothly. You should seek professional help to ensure that the closure is installed correctly.

5. Lack of lubrication: If the closure has not been lubricated in a long time, the parts may be sticking. You should lubricate all moving parts regularly.

If none of these solutions works, it is best to consult a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

For a complete guide on the operation and maintenance of your folding closure, please refer to the Operation Manual on our website.
