Abstract
The invention relates to a folding door with a door leaf (4) which is movable between a closed position and an open, folded position, in which the door leaf (4) is folded about folding lines between opposite side edges (5) of the door leaf. A plurality of guide members (110-118) are connected to the side edges (5) in a spaced-apart relationship along the same, and two side frames (1) are extended adjacent to a respective side edge (5). Each side frame (1) defines at least a first and a second guide groove (68, 69), which are juxtaposed transversely of the side frame. The guide members comprise, at each side frame (1), a first set of guide members running in the first guide groove (68) only, as well as a second set of guide members running in the second guide groove only (69). The first and second guide members are connected to the door leaf (4) in such a way that the side edges (5), in the folded position of the door leaf, run back and forth between the first and the second guide groove (68, 69) with the folding lines defined by the guide members. The invention also relates to a method for assembling such a door.
