Scissors jack and chain straightening method

[Frank S]

While assembling and flipping the bifold door I noticed I had caused a bow in the pipe framework so I straightened it after hanging the door with a scissors jack and a chain

My son-in-law bent his sliding entrance gate by driving into it. I used a similar method to straighten it. In contrast to Frank's the bent bar was horizontal and I used an hydraulic jack not a scissor jack.
