In Australia, we live for the indoor-outdoor flow. Whether it’s a renovation in Sydney’s inner west or a new build in Adelaide’s coastal suburbs, we all want those massive glass spans that connect our kitchen to the deck.
However, a common question we hear at Jolong is: “Are these large glass doors secure?”
The short answer is: Yes—if they are engineered correctly. Gone are the days of flimsy frames and simple latches. Today’s modern bi fold doors are built to be as tough as a brick wall.

Why Engineering Matters for Exterior Bi Fold Doors
When you install bi folding doors exterior systems, the hardware is the first line of defence. Standard doors often have a “weak point” at the hinges.
As a top windows and doors supplier in Australia, our exterior bi fold doors are designed with reinforced corner joints and interlocking sashes. This means that when the door is closed, the panels “bite” into each other, making it virtually impossible for an intruder to lift the door off its tracks or pry it open.
