Bifold gates basically allow twice the opening width into half
the space. For example if you had a four metre opening but only one
metre of area in which to swing with a standard double swing gate there
is simply no way. Using the two bifold gate kits allows the four metres
to be halved and can then double gates swing neatly into the one metre area leaving your four metres
clear.

BIFOLD POSTS
Bifold gates by design demand accurate geometry and for this reason our bifold kit is built around the most common support posts used and also the smallest possible which is 100x100 square. Use the bundle enquiry link above for post pricing.
BIFOLD POST HINGES
Come as a top and bottom pair and designed for either 50x50 SHS frames. The fixing plate gives the perfect hinge distance and pivot point when used with 100x100 posts. The bearing insert sections are bearing hinge aluminium for aluminium framed gates or bearing hinge steel for steel framed gates.
BIFOLD CENTRE HINGES
These hinges allow the gate leaves to fold back onto themselves through a 180 degree movement. Most bifold gates only require two hinges per pair of gates.
BIFOLD GATES
Choose from frames only custom built to size or complete bifold gate leaves in a design or your choice. Use the bundle enquiry link above for gate pricing.
BIFOLDLINK
The BIFOLDLINK is what brings it all together and does the magic bit.
Attention to the measurements provided makes an easy install with fine tuning adjustment near the post.
AUTOMATION
Bifold gates require careful selection of automation. The operators need to have sufficent torque to deal with the bifold mechanism and the unusual swing method. Use the bundle enquiry link above for correct automation pricing.
