Crack from angle bead

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. We had an extension built/plastered 5 years ago. One of the angle beads next to the bifold doors has cracked at the top corner of the bead. The lower ~4/5’s is not cracked, nor has any of the reveal side of the bead cracked, it is only the top part of the bead that has cracked. I have attached a photo of the crack. The bifold door is heavy and I assume the crack is due to the door banging when it is closed. Do you think the nails have come lose which has caused the crack/insufficient nailing in this area or do you think it is due to something else?

Appreciate the feedback. Thank you

Looks like it's probably just been stapled and skimmed straight over.


Scrape that crack back and blown skim - tape it and fill or skim again.

I've been stapling beads on for over thirty years now and have never had a single comeback about a bead cracking or coming loose. Perhaps it was fixed with six pieces of sticky tape per length?

I'm betting stapled and knocked.
I've seen it before.

Too few and/or too shallow.

If they'd have taped over the joint and skimmed, very little chance it would look like that and fail like that.
 
Thanks for all the replies.

Those that have said redo, is it a case of removing bead completely and replacing? The other side of the bead is fine so if I can avoid I would obviously prefer to.

To those that have said scrape, tape and reskim, I assume I would need to add nails to the bead once scraped to stop/avoid any future movement?
