Bi-Folding Gate - High Security - 2 or 4 Panel

The Bi-Folding Gate - High Security - 2 or 4 Panel is a vehicle access-control solution for secured entrances where space, speed, and appearance are important. Its compact folding design requires less space for gate movement compared to sliding and swing gates. It is well suited for airports, seaports, industrial properties, water treatment facilities, and public transportation sites. With no overhead track, the entrance remains clear above for trucks and other tall vehicles.

Two-panel configurations fold toward one side of the entrance, while four-panel configurations open from the center to both sides. Both configurations open in 8 seconds. Drive motors are secured inside the supporting columns, and customizable panel infill allows the gate to complement surrounding fencing and architecture. Hot-dip galvanized steel provides a durable finish, with an optional powder coating.

Panel Heights and Configurations

• 6 ft high: Passageways up to 11 ft 6 in with 2 panels, or 23 ft with 4 panels.
• 8 ft high: Passageways up to 11 ft 6 in with 2 panels, or 23 ft with 4 panels.
• 10 ft high: Passageways up to 9 ft with 2 panels, or 18 ft with 4 panels.

Maximum dimensions depend on panel weight, infill, wind exposure, and site requirements.

Infill Options

Choose from standard vertical pickets, optional welded wire, or woven wire infill in various colors to complement surrounding fencing and the entrance’s appearance. Vertical pickets provide a traditional barred design, while wire infill creates a mesh pattern that maintains visibility through the gate. Final infill selection depends on gate dimensions, panel weight, and site requirements.

Installation

Installation requires prepared concrete foundations, accurate anchor placement using the supplied template drawings, and suitable lifting equipment to position the columns and panels. Both foundations must be at the same elevation, and the gate assemblies must be leveled and aligned before final adjustments. Allow equipment access around the entrance, and install warning signs where they are visible from both sides.

Installation can be available through Security Entrances Inc. Please inquire.
