Bifold door hardware systems
From residences to restaurants and commercial projects, the ability to flexibly manage space and enjoy inside-outside living has created overwhelming demand for Centor’s highest quality folding door and window systems.
Known for their smooth, fingertip operation and enduring reliability, Centor invented the world’s first bifolding door system to meet weather-sealing standards – allowing folding doors to be used externally for the first time without compromising interiors. Patented in Australia in 1998, all Centor folding systems use this technology. Doors using our E4 system have since been approved for use by Miami-Dade County – the most rigorous hurricane standards testing regime in the world. These systems can also be used internally, where the ability to flexibly control space is equally important.
