Electric Bi-Fold Gates for Driveways
Many of the properties we design gates for are located in cities, so they don’t have the luxury of a sweeping drive. This doesn’t mean, though, that our customers can’t enjoy the benefits of automatic gates installed on their property. Folding gates for driveways are an excellent solution for residences where space is limited. 1st Choice Security Systems designers have a range of creative solutions to bring to these scenarios.
Our customers want automatic driveway gates that look good, but also provide a first line of defence for their home and family. For that reason, all the electric gates installed by 1st Choice Security Systems engineers are bespoke. We always ensure that our folding driveway gates:
- Integrate beautifully with the aesthetics of your home.
- Are designed to fit the dimensions of your drive.
- Provide a practical deterrent to opportunistic crime.
Folding Gates For Driveways
When deciding on the kind of automatic gates to install, we recommend you test the size of the arc your gates will need to pass through. If there isn’t enough space for swing gates to open onto your driveway, without hitting an obstacle, folding gates are an excellent solution. Sliding gates are alternative option, but many of our clients lack the lateral space to allow for the gates to slide back from their closed position.
Bi-fold gates look like traditional swing gates, except that they’ve been cut in half vertically. They are made up of four hinged panels rather than two. As the gates open, the centre sections fold into the sections nearest the post. This means that the arc of travel is halved, making bi-fold gates a great solution for wide but shallow driveways.
Folding Gates Save Space
No matter the size of your driveway, 1st Choice will design automatic gates that maximise its potential. So, you’ll have space to access your driveway easily, and park your car comfortably. 1st Choice engineers will visit your property and talk you through the range of design options available.
Gates Designed for Speed and Efficiency
One of the advantages our customers enjoy with folding gates for driveways is the speedy opening operation they provide. Halving the size of the gate’s arc results in a gates that open and close faster. This optimises your experience when arriving at or leaving your home and enhances the security your driveway gates afford.
“The quality is top rate and the gate looks fantastic, excellent customer service. Thank you.”
