Bi Fold/Sectional/Folding Swing Gate Hardware Kit
The ideal swing gate solution when a short driveway is the issue. The bi-fold/sectional folding gate system allows for a unique approach on space management by having a secondary gate hinged off the primary (gate closest to the post), with the clever hardware kit connected as the primary gate begins to open an equal and opposite reaction will occur for the secondary gate which will fold towards the first(front face to front face) This movement HALVES the amount of required space in the installation allowing for that much needed clearance space for the car.
The kit is supplied with systems for BOTH sides of the driveway effectively FOUR panels (two pairs).
How it works
Opening Movement
When the primary hinged gate is moved in the opening direction, a pivoting action takes place on the pillar/pier/post via the threaded adjuster (tunes to suit the gate sizes). The threaded adjuster is connected to the drive blade rack. On the secondary gate the FIXED pinion gear is connected. As the gate is moved the fixed pinion gear is turned by the blade rack causing the connected secondary gate to move in the opposite direction to the first.
Closing Movement
When the gate is closed the opposite movement occurs, to align the gates correctly when closed a special locator gate stop is provided which accepts the nylon locator installed on the bottom of the gate.
