CoFold is the ultimate in exterior folding systems and opens up a wealth of new design possibilities.
The CoFold System has been designed to maximise the flexibility of a room’s living space, removing barriers and enabling the user to have an indoor/outdoor experience by fully opening up exterior walls.
The system which operates with effortless ease combines the benefits of folding doors with the ability to keep out the weather with no corrosion worries. This modern, contemporary feature will increase available living space whilst allowing natural light to envelop the room.
System Capacity
Maximum leaf height - 3300mm
Maximum leaf weight - 100kg
Maximum leaf width - 1000mm
Leaf thickness - 35-68mm*
* For thicker or thinner doors please contact Coastal Technical Team
For doors between 35-47mm use an alternative flush bolt
Applications
Residential and commercial timber exterior folding applications
Specially suited to coastal environments made from 316 stainless steel.
End folding timber doors folding to one or both sides
Standard folding configuration features doors folding outward.
Inward folding doors can be used where the doors are not directly
exposed to the weather.
Premium security features
Recognised weather resistance
The folding unit is not hinged to post, but is pivoted in the track and floor. All door leaves are of equal width. A swing leaf can be included by incorporating an odd number of leaves. For full weather protection, doors, frame and track should incorporate the seals provided in the CoFold range.
Cill and frame construction should be in accordance with the CoFold fixing instructions. Intermediate hangers and hinges are non rebated.

Preparing the opening
Ensure the opening is square and all load bearing areas are suitable for the weight of the system.Take particular care to ensure there is
sufficient strength in the structure above the opening to take the concentrated weight of the doors, when in the open stacked position.
The Cofold system provides +/- 3mm of horizontal and vertical adjustment. Use a plumb line to ensure that the centre line of the track
and the centre line of the channel are offset by 19mm.

Preparing the door leaves
Door leaf width calculation
1. Decide how many door leaves you want in the opening.
2. Add together all the 3mm clearances required between door leaves and the jambs (there will be one more than the number of door
leaves).This is the total clearance figure.
3. Measure the finished opening width (W) and deduct from this the total clearance figure.
4. Divide this new figure (finished opening width minus total clearance) by the number of doors to produce the actual door width. (N.B.
all doors with the CoFold system are the same width).
For example: For a 4 door leaf system with a finished opening width of 2345mm the door leaf width would be 2345mm minus (5x3mm)
divided by 4 (number of door leaves) = 582.5mm.
Door leaf height calculation
Leaf height = finished opening height (see diagram 7) minus 66mm.

INSTALLATION
1. Ensure that you have all the required parts. Unpack the
components and identify the parts. Lay the parts on the
ground in the same configuration as they will be when
installed. It is recommended that a light smear of general
purpose grease is applied to all bolts prior to assembly.
Diagram 17
2. Cut the track to the required length and pre-drill for
fixings in accordance with diagram 17. Please note that the
extra fixings are required where the doors stack together.
TOP PIVOT SECURING BLOCK
3. Cut the channel to the required length and fit in the
sill. Drill drainage holes (see diagram 1).
PIVOT SECURING BLOCK HEX

4. Remove all the wheel assemblies and pivot block from
the hanger and pivot bolts, and disassemble top pivot
block assembly.
PIVOT CAM
5. Slide the wheel assemblies and track pivot block into
the track in the correct order, orientation, and position
and fix the track in position. Reassemble top pivot block
assembly (see diagram 18).

7. For installation, assemble leaves in pairs via the hinges.
To improve the ease of installation pre-drill pilot holes for
all hinge parts. Fit kits SF1, SF7,SF4 and SF9 (optional) to
first pair of leaves.
Please ensure all 5 screws are fixed per end hinge.
8. Screw the bottom anchor of the bottom pivot assembly
to the base of the channel 11mm from the jamb. Please
note, the screw nearest the end of the bottom anchor is
closest to the jamb (see diagram 20). Reassemble the pivot
assembly leaving the clamping screws loose (see diagram 24).
9. Suspend pairs of leaves by engaging top pivot and
hanger bolts using 5mm allen key supplied (see top of
diagram 19).
10. Attach the bottom pivot and guide assembly to their
respective hinges, adjust the bottom pivot side plates
position so that it engages with the hinge bolt.Tighten
pivot and guide strap bolts (see diagram 21).
11. Lift the next pair of leaves into position and support
their weight by screwing the hanger strap bolt into the
hanger wheel assembly and fixing the second and third
leaves together.

ADJUSTMENT
Height Adjustment (± 3mm)
1. Close leaves and adjust the door height to achieve an
equal gap between the top of the leaves and the track (a
9mm gap is recommended). (see diagram 22).
INSIDE
LOCKING HANGER
GRUB SCREW
ON INSIDE OF DOOR
2. Once the adjustment is complete use the allen key to
tighten the locking hanger grub screw until secure.
Lateral Adjustment
1. With the unit still in the closed position, slide the set
of leaves towards the jamb to obtain the desired gap
between the jamb and the pivot door.A gap of 3mm is
recommended using the adjustment cam. Once in
position tighten the clamp screws. (see diagram 24).
2. Fold the leaves and adjust the bottom side plate using
the allen key provided so that the gap between the door
and the jamb is the same over the full length of the door.
3. Tighten the two clamping screws to lock the side plate
to the bottom anchor.
4. Once the pivot door is in the correct position insert
and tighten the locking pivot grub screw from the inside
position. (as shown in diagram 23)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To provide years of trouble free operation, it is
recommended that the track is kept free from dirt and
debris. Periodically replace the general purpose grease on
all bolts.To prolong the appearance of the exposed hinge
parts, it is recommended they are periodically washed
with soap and water. Maintenance is required on all
components including stainless steel to validate
manufacturers warranty. For further maintenance details
please refer to our website.

SF9 Intermediate Pivot Set
1. The Cofold SF9 intermediate pivot set shown in Diagram 1,
should
be fitted to the pivot door approximately mid way between the SF1 top
and bottom pivot assemblies. The SF9 hinge must be positioned on the
same centre line as the SF1 top and bottom pivot hinge bodies.
5. Fit the pivot door into position using the SF1 pivot set.
2. Route the door and drill the pilot holes as shown on Diagram 2. Fit the
hinge body using the five screws provided.
7. Screw the threaded link arm fully into the frame support plate. The
centre of the threaded hole in the link arm should be positioned to
receive the strap bolt. Screw the strap bolt in to the link arm until there
is a 2mm gap between the head of the strap bolt and the hinge body, as
shown in Diagram 4.
6. Fit the SF9 cover sleeve on to the SF9 hinge body and drop the hinge
strap bolt into position, as shown in Diagram 4.
3. Prepare the frame for the opening by drilling a Ø12mm hole (as shown
in Diagram 3), ensuring that the centre point of the hole is 20mm lower
than the bottom of the hinge body as shown on Diagram 4. Rebate the
frame support plate, if required.
8. Adjust the SF9 pivot set to ensure the clearance between the pivot door
and the frame is uniform (Diagram 5).
4. Screw the frame support plate on to the opening frame preparation, as
shown in Diagram 3.
