JELD-WEN and Reliabilt have recalled approximately 170,800 interior bifold doors because a metal hardware component called the lower pivot pin can break. If the pin fails, the door can suddenly detach from its overhead track and fall, potentially hitting someone nearby. The recall includes molded white panel and flush natural wood grain doors sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, and other retailers between February 2011 and March 2012. JELD-WEN has received twelve reports of these pins breaking, including three incidents that resulted in minor injuries. Consumers should contact JELD-WEN to receive free replacement hardware and technical assistance.
The lower pivot pin is a metal screw that can break under stress, causing the bifold door to lose its bottom support and disengage from the upper track. This allows the heavy door panel to fall unexpectedly onto residents, posing a risk of impact and bruising injuries.
Consumers should stop using the doors and contact JELD-WEN for assistance in identifying and obtaining free replacement hardware and technical assistance.
