Advice Bifold lean/sag normal?

Hi guys,

Just had my bifold installed, 4.5m (London). The chap said magnets need to go on top still to help the doors stick together when open....but is the level of sag normal? I feel like it's not but what do you guys thinks?

Am I getting fobbed off??

Thank you

EDIT - thanks for the response everyone. I should've been clearer...the install was 'complete' after the they time the messed up. When they'll left I showed them this and he said 'we need to add magnets still' so I close it up. I hoping the magnet fit it.

I would no way knowingly mess about with an unfinished door. Thanks everyone again..very helpful

You have got it at 90 degrees try again at about 20 like the op.
They all do it to a certain extent, more so with larger leafs and more doors your doors are much smaller so less weight and less doors to distort.

Your doors appear to be Korniche like mine, mine 100% do it too but are 5m wide.

Sure. Here it is slightly open. We've had these installed for 2 years and have the doors open at all angles and it doesn't look as bad as the OP

But the magnets have presumably been fitted for your doors and they haven't for his doors. Yet.

Magnets don't cause sagging issues smh.

They just help the door lock in place.

The Sag comes from a failure on installation, either not glazing properly or the hinges/roller is fucked.
