Hardware Information
Centor Architectural manufactures the bi-folding hardware for the Weathertight system. Centor has been chosen by us and many other door and window manufacturers of bi-folding systems in the United States because of the quality and practicality of their design. The design of this system is less complicated than most of the European systems which makes for easier installation and adjustments after installation.
Quality 
All metal components of the rollers and hinges are Stainless Steel to hold up to any environment. The rollers have ball bearing centers with nylon perimeter to give a lifetime of smooth operation.
The rollers ride in an aluminum track at the top that is anodized bronze. The guide rollers at the bottom of the doors ride in an aluminum track incorporated into the threshold.
Practical
Centor has incorporated an easy adjustment system into all of their bi-folding products that allows the door system to be squared to the opening and adjusted in height for smooth operation. This makes installation easier. Since all structures will settle or shift with time minor adjustments can be made to keep the system working smoothly for a lifetime.
