2. Setup and Installation
The MARLEY New Generation Folding Door is designed for easy assembly. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation and functionality.
2.1. Before You Begin
- Check Contents: Verify all parts are present using the exploded view diagram.
- Tools Required: Gather necessary tools such as a measuring tape, drill, screwdriver, level, and saw (if shortening).
- Door Opening Dimensions: Ensure your door opening is suitable. The door is designed for an opening width of 86 cm and a height of 205 cm.
- Height Adjustment: The door can be easily shortened in height. The bottom clearance is approximately 0.5 cm.
- Width Extension: The door can be extended up to 200 cm (single-leaf) or 400 cm (double-leaf) with additional lamellas (not included). Each full lamella has a width of 138 mm and a thickness of 11 mm.
2.2. Assembly Steps
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure the door frame or opening is clean, level, and free from obstructions.
- Install the Top Rail: Mount the guide rail (part 9550) securely at the top of the door opening. Use appropriate fasteners (part 9552) for your wall material. Ensure it is perfectly level.
- Assemble Door Panels: Connect the individual lamellas (panels) according to the diagram. The double-walled plastic profiles (part 9480) interlock.
- Attach Gliders: Insert the gliders (part 9563, 9564) into the top of the door panels. These will slide within the top rail.
- Hang the Door: Carefully lift the assembled door and insert the gliders into the top rail.
- Install Side Rails/Stops: Attach the side stop rail (part 9410a/b) to the door frame. This rail provides a secure closing point for the door.
- Attach Handle: Secure the silver-look handle (part 9420) to the designated lamella.
- Final Adjustments: Test the door's operation. Ensure it slides smoothly and closes securely. Adjust the rail or gliders if necessary.

3. Operating Instructions
Operating your MARLEY New Generation Folding Door is straightforward and designed for ease of use.
3.1. Opening the Door
- Grasp the handle firmly.
- Gently pull the door along the top guide rail until it is fully retracted.
- A stopper in the glide rail will hold the door package in the open position.
3.2. Closing the Door
- Grasp the handle.
- Push the door smoothly along the top guide rail until the leading lamella reaches the stop rail on the opposite side.
- The locking lamellas will easily press into the stop rail, securing the door in the closed position.
3.3. Smooth Operation Tips
- Always operate the door by the handle to avoid stressing the lamellas.
- Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance. Check for obstructions.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your MARLEY New Generation Folding Door.
4.1. Cleaning
- The door's high-quality decorative surface is easy to clean.
- Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic profiles and finish.
- For the checkered windows, use a glass cleaner if necessary, applied to a cloth first, not directly to the surface.
4.2. Lubrication
- Periodically check the top guide rail and gliders for smooth movement.
- If the door starts to feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone spray or a dry lubricant to the gliders and inside the top rail. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
4.3. Inspection
- Regularly inspect the lamellas, hinges, and rails for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure all screws and fasteners remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your folding door, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door sticks or is difficult to slide. | Dust/debris in rail, dry gliders, misaligned rail. | Clean the top rail. Apply silicone spray to gliders. Check if the rail is level and securely fastened. |
| Door does not close completely. | Obstruction, misaligned stop rail, damaged lamella. | Check for anything blocking the door's path. Ensure the stop rail is correctly installed and aligned. Inspect lamellas for damage. |
| Door makes excessive noise during operation. | Lack of lubrication, loose components. | Lubricate gliders and rail. Check and tighten any loose screws on the door or rail. |
| Gap between door and frame when closed. | Improper installation of stop rail or door not fully extended. | Ensure the door is fully pushed into the stop rail. Re-check the alignment and installation of the stop rail. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
