Bi-fold automatic gates are the perfect solution for security in confined spaces where opening and closing speeds are important. They have two mechanically connected leaves per side, which slide apart slightly before folding inward in a zigzag pattern. The leaves stack neatly as they move toward the centre, creating a compact opening.
