Residential Security Gates
Bi-Fold Gates
If you are one of the many people who have never been able to consider an automatic security gate before due to limited, restricted space or a sloped drive, now you can with our Bi-Fold Security Gates!
Bi-Fold Security Gates
Bi-fold automatic security gates are the perfect solution for both residential and commercial entrances where standard automatic swing and sliding gates are not options.
Solution: Automatic trackless Bi-fold Gates bring security to those who could never have it before.
We design, manufacture and install automatic bi-fold security gates – to secure properties across Melbourne.
Bi-fold gates are automatic, running smoothly and quietly.
The trackless bi-fold gate provides solutions to those with complex entrances. Perfect for when a sliding or swing gate is not suitable.
Limited, restricted space, angled, sloped, short and narrow driveways. Bi-folds have a smaller footprint therefore, taking up less room than standard gates. Being trackless, they are smooth and quiet. Secure when closed, locking into a centre ground lock plate.
The Motorised Gate Company is an Australian owned business. Our automatic trackless bi-fold gates/doors and BF hardware are designed and manufactured by us locally in Melbourne, Australia.
Incline, Sloping and Tapered Driveways
The trackless bi-fold gate has a minimal imprint on your property and no track.
Perfect for those with an Incline, Sloping or Tapered Driveway!
When the gate opens and each side swings back, they take up significantly less room than a standard swing gate – perfect when you have a sloped driveway.
The gates can also be designed to the gradient of your slope with lifting and/or rising hinges..
Limited and Restricted Space
Restricted Driveways: Limited space, garden edging, building/ retainer walls, fencing, pedestrian pathway, angled driveways, lane-way and corner entrances – all come with complications when you want to secure your property. If your entrance has any of these, bi-fold gates would be perfect for you.
Short Driveways: With the bi-fold taking up less room as it swings back and opens, it gives more usable space within the property, allowing one or two cars to part securely inside the property where they were unable to before.
Narrow Driveways: The bi-fold provides more usable space to those with smaller frontages. The gate does not encroach onto the sidewalk or across pedestrian gate access. Both these can cause major safety issues.
Wide Driveways
When your driveway is too wide for swing gates, and not enough room for a sliding gate, the bi-fold is the perfect solution you are looking for.
Maximum opening 6.5m.
Bi-fold gates give security to those who never could before.
Perfect for entrances with double or triple driveways.
Lane-Way Solutions
Bi-folds and bi-fold combos are the perfect solution for these tight entrances with limited and restricted space.
Many properties in the inner suburbs only have rear back lane-way access to their property, with many of these having restriction issues.
The bi-fold is often their only solution. Not only does this give them security with peace of mind, it adds $$$ retail value, making these properties well sort after and in high demand.

Combo Gate Solution (3 x panels)
No 1: A single bi-fold + a single swing gate working together, is the perfect solution for those who don’t have a separate pedestrian gate. The single swing can be setup as a pedestrian gate.
No 2: A single bi-fold + a sliding gate (photo) working together, is the perfect solution for those who have limited space and don’t have the room to drive straight in, but can park across the front of the property simply by turning in at a sharp angle.
Both options can have pedestrian mode setup to only open one gate to walk through, via a 2nd button on the hand control or a keypad. Perfect for those who don’t have a separate pedestrian gate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a bi-fold over a swing or sliding gate?
When a swing or sliding gate is not suitable. Bi-Folds are problem solvers, they are space saving and have been specifically designed for this very reason. They have a smaller footprint and are extremely versatile in difficult areas.
Does your bi-fold have tracks?
TMGC bifolds are Trackless. Meaning there are no issues with; uneven ground, keeping tracks clean of dirt and stones, no concrete plinth, no destruction of garden or driveway, no track damage from heavy vehicles, no lifting of track from ground movement.
Are bi-folds secure?
Bi-folds are extremely secure. When closed, they lock into a centre ground lock in the drive or a ceiling lock.
I have a sloping/tapered drive, and no-one can find a solution.
Being trackless and taking up less room than a swing gate when they fold back, means bi-fold gates are the perfect solution for sloping, rising, and uneven drives. Using rising / lifting hinges they lift to the gradient of the drive, as they fold back.
We have side walls on both sides of the drive and so we can’t have a sliding gate. Can you help?
The bi-fold is the perfect solution for restricted spaces. Using minimal space, it is perfect for those with side walls, fencing, garden edging, pathways, etc.
Am I limited with design choice?
All gates are custom made to your design choice and colour. There are no limits, as the motors and hardware on the back/inside of the gate.
Can the gate swing out?
No. The way it is designed it can only swing/fold inwards. Having a minimal footprint, it can wrap itself around cars as it folds back.
Will my gate still work if the power goes out?
With all our bi-fold packages, a battery backup is included. The gate will still operate if there is a power outage.
Is my car protected if the gate starts to close?
With all our bi-fold packages PE Photocells are installed on each gate post for protection when the gates are closing.
Am I able to open my gate with my phone?
Yes, with a GSM Access System using the 4G-Telstra network / or a Bluetooth App which uses your own Wi-Fi.
Can solar be used with bi-fold gates?
Yes, with both domestic and commercial, solar can be used. But the correct gate operators must be used. We use ARCO (Australian) gate operators for domestic and TMGC (Australian) heavy duty operators for commercial, as both motors go to sleep when not in use. This is VIP, so they are not continually using power and draining batteries. Which is the very reason this solar system is more reliable than other solar setups.
