I know it's a swingers site but...
I need a DIY tip or two please?! I took the beads out of a bifold door to toe and heel it but I'm finding it impossible to get the beads back in now. Any tips please?
Thanks |

"any on line instructional vids perhaps? might be faster that waiting for the right answer here  "
Yeah lots of videos but all upvc and any for aluminium don't show how to get the beads in. Wonders if there was a window/door fitter on here with a tip. |

They can be a Payne in the glass to get back in  is it a sunflex bi-fold door? sometimes it's easier to put a white packer between the glass and the bead so it guides it in as you hit the front edge of the bead with a soft face hammer |

Thanks, they are sapa doors if you've heard of them? I think they just "tip" in but the others jump out as I do the last one. All go in fine on their own but not together. Trying to put the rubber gaskets back in as I go to hold them in position but the rubber falls into the void. Any tips there?! |

Right... just got there! Looks like the have a recess that sit in first before clicking them in. If you've missed the recess they don't fit. Problem is that the beads are a bit scratched now (not badly but but annoying) can I buy new ones from sapa do you know? I know how to fit them now!  |
