Bi-Fold Gates & Garage Doors
How Bi-Folds Work
TMGC’s trackless automatic bi-fold gates and garage doors are the perfect security solution for where there is limited space, restricted space, a wide or sloping driveway.
Bi-Fold Method
The Melbourne Gate Company specialises in creating a solution to your limited spaces and sloping driveways.
When the area requires a gate to only fold to one side or both sides but with limited space, we can install a solution that uses only two leaves each side – these fold back out of the way in one direction giving the maximum vehicular entry needed.
When the driveway has an incline rising upwards that a standard swing gate would bottom out on, the bi- fold gate design solves the problem while only taking up a half of the space. Depending of the degree of slope, lifting or rising hinges may be needed to help lift the gate.
Unlike other bi-fold gates, TMGC bi-fold gate does not require a track either on the ground or overhead. TMGC bi-folds are completely trackless.
Why We Developed Our Bi-Fold Security Gate
With the needs and requests of many of our clients, it motivated us to design and develop our very own Bi-Fold Gate System, made here in Melbourne.
It was originally developed for one of our clients with limited space, inner city small narrow block, who could not fit a standard swing or sliding gate.
Wanting a gate for security, we decided to work on developing one for him and so our trackless bi-fold was born.
Limited / Restricted Space
The bi-fold has been specifically designed for those with limited and restricted space. Folding back to the sides, it takes up minimal inside space.
Taking up half the space of standard swing gates, it can allow enough room for two cars to park securely inside the property.
It is the perfect solution for those with restrictions such as: narrow frontages, side building walls, fencing, retainer walls, garden edging, pedestrian gates, angled drives. When sliding and swing gates are not suitable.
Sloping Driveways / Wide Driveways
Sloping Driveways – The bi-fold gate is perfect for those with sloping driveways or entrances. Folding back on itself, it requires less room to swing back. Rising or lifting hinges can be used to lift gates. Which hinge, depends on how much the gate will need to lift.
Wide Driveways – Perfect for wide driveways, when there is not enough room for a sliding gate and limited inside space for a swing gate. The bi-fold folds back neatly allowing more space to park a car, and won’t encroach across the pedestrian gate pathway.
Folding Garage Doors
The bi-fold door is perfect for garages and carports with limited or no overhead room.
Where standard garage roller or tilt doors will not fit.
The bi-fold does not need overhead room, as it folds back to the side walls, taking up very little inside room.
Using a programmable advanced control board and with no tracks, it is extremely smooth and quiet.
