Bi-Folding Gate Hardware

No room to slide your gate and limited the behind to swing?
Bi-fold gates allow twice the opening width into half the space.
For example, if you had a four-meter opening but only one meter of the area to swing with a standard double swing gate, there is simply one way!
Using the bi-fold gate kit allows the four meters to swing neatly into the one-meter area, leaving your four meters clear.
Maybe a bi-fold or indeed a pair of bi-fold gates.
This bi-fold gate kit is suitable for openings up to 4 meters wide, but obviously, you would save even more room by installing two 2-meter leaves folding back to approximately 1 meter.
Bi-folding gates can be easily automated, and the kit has the additional hardware to turn your gate into a bi-fold.

The bi-folding gate hardware system allows swing gates to be installed in areas where space is limited while the gate is in the open position.

The bi-folding gate hardware system can be augmented with a gate automation system.

The BiFold gate hardware system allows swing gates to be installed in areas where space is limited while the gate is in the open position.

The BiFold gate hardware system can be augmented with a gate automation system.

The double swing gate bi-folding hardware kit is particularly useful in places where there isn’t enough space for a traditional swinging gate to operate. The installation does not require complicated steps and materials. No welding is required, reducing the overall installation time.

This double-leaf bi-folding solution is an ideal solution where side entrance access is required. It is designed to allow a vehicle user full manoeuvrability around a property.

Compared to a double swing gate, a single Bi-Folding Gate will be less expensive to automate since it requires only one gate operator instead of two. It is a perfect solution for the entrance with a gravel surface, taking into account that you do not need to lay down the rails and cables for the second gate opener.

There‘s no doubt that Bi-Folding Gates are a money and space-saving alternative that is convenient and can be very stylish.

Gate adjustable hinges

*Steel material *Heavy-duty hinge *5-1/2” Length (Total 7-1/2”) x 4-1/2” Width *Bolt thickness: 3⁄4” Gate adjustable hinges are a type of hinge designed to allow for precise adjustments to a gate's position and alignment even after it has been installed. Unlike traditional fixed hinges, which offer little to no post-installation flexibility, adjustable hinges provide the ability to fine-tune the gate's fit. This feature is particularly beneficial for gates that may sag over time due to their weight, ground settling, or weather changes.   Why are Adjustable Hinges Important? Adjustable hinges solve common problems associated with gate installation and long-term use. Without them, realigning a sagging or misaligned gate often requires removing the gate, cutting, re-welding, and repainting the hinges, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. With adjustable hinges, these adjustments can typically be made with simple tools like an Allen key or an adjustable wrench.   Key Features and Adjustments Adjustable hinges offer various levels of adjustment, which can include:
  • In/Out Adjustment: This is the most common adjustment, allowing the gate to be moved closer to or further away from the post. This helps eliminate gaps or prevent the gate from rubbing against the frame.
  • Up/Down Adjustment: This allows for vertical alignment, which is crucial for ensuring the gate clears the ground and for aligning the gate's lock with its strike plate, especially for double swing gates.
  • Left/Right Adjustment: Some advanced models offer lateral adjustment, providing ultimate flexibility in positioning the gate along its width. This can also help in adjusting the gate's tilt.
Many models also feature locking mechanisms, such as serrated washers or set screws, to ensure that once the adjustment is made, the gate remains securely in place.   Types of Adjustable Hinges Adjustable hinges come in various forms, often incorporating the adjustability into existing hinge designs:
  • Adjustable Eye Bolts: These are threaded components that allow vertical and horizontal adjustment, typically used with hook-on plates or gate pins.
  • Adjustable Band and Gudgeon Hinges: Similar to traditional band and gudgeon hinges, but with a threaded bolt and nuts for adjustment.
  • Weld-on Adjustable Hinges: Designed to be welded directly to metal gates and posts, offering strong support and adjustability.
  • Bolt-on Adjustable Hinges: These are bolted to the gate and post, making them suitable for various gate materials.
  • Barrel Hinges (Adjustable): Often featuring a set screw for up/down adjustments, suitable for heavier loads and offering a robust design.
  • Adjustable Self-Closing Hinges: Some adjustable hinges also incorporate a self-closing mechanism, which is ideal for security gates or areas where the gate needs to close automatically.
Advantages of Using Adjustable Hinges
  • Ease of Installation and Adjustment: They simplify the initial installation process by allowing for fine-tuning without needing to perfectly align everything from the start. Subsequent adjustments due to settling or wear are also quick and easy.
  • Longevity: By maintaining proper alignment, adjustable hinges reduce wear and tear on both the gate and the hinges themselves, extending their lifespan.
  • Enhanced Security: Proper alignment minimizes gaps around the gate, making it harder for unauthorized entry.
  • Versatility: They are available in various sizes and load capacities, suitable for everything from lightweight garden gates to heavy-duty industrial gates.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: The ability to easily adjust the gate's position can significantly reduce the need for costly repairs or re-installations.
  • Improved Aesthetics: Ensures the gate maintains a straight and professional appearance, avoiding unsightly sagging or misalignment.
  Materials and Finishes Adjustable hinges are manufactured from durable materials to withstand outdoor conditions and heavy use. Common materials include:
  • Steel: Strong and ideal for heavy-duty gates, often galvanized or treated to prevent rust.
  • Stainless Steel: Offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it perfect for outdoor and high-moisture environments.
  • Zinc-plated Steel: Provides a good balance of durability, cost-effectiveness, and rust protection.
  • Brass: Less strong than steel but used for decorative purposes due to its aesthetic appeal.
Finishes often include black powder-coating for a sleek look and added protection, or galvanization for superior corrosion resistance, especially in industrial or harsh weather conditions.

Cantilever Sliding Gate Hardware

Cantilever sliding gate hardware refers to the specialized components that allow a gate to slide open and close without needing a track on the ground. Instead, the gate is supported and guided from above and to the side by a system of rollers and channels. Here's a breakdown of the essential components that make up cantilever sliding gate hardware:
  1. Cantilever Track (or Rail):
    • This is the most distinctive part. It's a heavy-duty, usually C-shaped (or sometimes a more complex extruded profile) channel that's securely attached to the bottom (or sometimes top) of the gate frame itself.
    • The track is extended beyond the main gate opening to form the "tail" or counterbalance section, which supports the gate when it's fully open.
    • Materials: Commonly made from galvanized steel for strength and corrosion resistance, or aluminum for lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance (as discussed previously).
  2. Cantilever Carriages (or Trolleys/Rollers):
    • These are the critical load-bearing components. They consist of a sturdy base plate with multiple wheels (often 5, 8, or more) arranged in a specific configuration.
    • The wheels are made from durable materials like steel (often machined or cast) or high-impact nylon, and typically feature sealed bearings for smooth, maintenance-free operation.
    • The cantilever track fits over these carriages, with the wheels rolling inside the track's channel.
    • Two (or more for very long/heavy gates) carriages are typically mounted on strong concrete foundation posts, positioned outside the gate opening. These posts support the entire weight of the gate.
  3. Guide Rollers/Plates (Upper Guides):
    • These are smaller rollers or plates mounted on a separate guide post (or posts) on the same side as the cantilever carriages.
    • Their purpose is to keep the gate upright and prevent it from tipping over as it moves. They typically engage with the top rail of the gate.
    • Made from nylon, steel, or a combination, often with adjustable brackets.
  4. End Cups / Receiver Posts / Gate Catches:
    • End Cup (or End Stop): A cup or bracket mounted on the support posts at the fully closed position. The end of the gate's tail section (specifically the track) "rests" in this cup when the gate is fully closed, providing additional stability and support.
    • Receiver Post / Gate Catch: A post or latching mechanism at the opposite end of the gate opening. When the gate is fully closed, it engages with this post to secure the gate in the closed position. This is often where a lock or the gate operator's arm connects.
    • Support Wheels / Final Wheels: Sometimes, a small support wheel is mounted on the ground or a low post at the far end of the gate opening to provide extra support to the gate's leading edge when it's fully closed, especially for very long or heavy gates.
  5. Anchoring and Installation Accessories:
    • Foundation Plates/Anchor Bolts: Heavy-duty plates and bolts used to securely anchor the cantilever carriages to concrete foundations. The stability of the entire system relies on robust anchoring.
    • Tension Bars (less common in modern designs): Historically used for minor adjustments to gate alignment or sag, though modern systems are often designed to minimize this need.
Advantages of Cantilever Hardware:
  • No Ground Track: This is the primary advantage. Eliminates the need for a track embedded in the driveway, which means:
    • No debris accumulation (leaves, dirt, snow, ice) obstructing movement.
    • Smoother operation on uneven driveways.
    • Less maintenance in terms of track cleaning.
    • No tripping hazard or wear on vehicles crossing a ground track.
  • Durability and Low Maintenance: Because the main rolling components (carriages) are elevated and enclosed within the track, they are less exposed to dirt and weather, leading to longer life and less frequent maintenance.
  • High Security: Cantilever gates are inherently very secure as they are difficult to lift or derail.
  • Aesthetics: The absence of a ground track can contribute to a cleaner, more streamlined look for the driveway entrance.
  • Suitable for High-Traffic Areas: Their robust design makes them ideal for commercial, industrial, or busy residential applications.
Suppliers in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada: For purchasing cantilever sliding gate hardware in Surrey, BC, you would typically look for:
  • Gate Automation and Supply Companies: Businesses specializing in automatic gates will carry a full range of cantilever hardware. Examples include Royal Gates (Royal Electronic Technology Center Co.), presence in the Metro Vancouver area, including Surrey.
  • Fencing and Gate Fabricators: Many companies that custom-fabricate gates will also supply or install the necessary hardware.
  • Industrial Hardware Suppliers: Larger industrial suppliers may stock components, though specialized gate companies will offer more comprehensive systems.
  • Online Retailers: Many online suppliers ship to Canada, offering a wide variety of components from different manufacturers.
When considering cantilever gate hardware, it's crucial to select components that match the weight, length, and usage frequency of your gate to ensure long-term, reliable operation.

Let's break down what SLGR2 likely refers to and its characteristics: Function of a Gear Rack:
  • Linear Motion: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is essentially a straight "rack" of teeth that meshes with a small circular gear called a pinion, which is attached to the shaft of the sliding gate operator's motor.
  • Power Transmission: As the pinion spins, its teeth engage with the teeth of the gear rack, pushing or pulling the gate horizontally along its track. This is how the motor physically moves the gate.
Key Features of the SLGR2 Gear Rack: Based on the search results, particularly from Royal Gate (which operates in Surrey, BC):
  • Length: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is specified as being 340 mm (millimetres) in length. This is a relatively short segment. Sliding gates often require multiple sections of gear rack to be joined together to span the entire length of the gate, as most gates are much longer than 340mm.
  • Mounting Holes: It has "2 Holes". These holes are pre-drilled for easy attachment to the bottom frame of the sliding gate using screws or bolts.
  • Material: While the exact material for this specific SLGR2 is not explicitly stated in all listings, gear racks are commonly made from:
    • Steel (most common): Offers high strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making it suitable for heavy gates and high-traffic applications. Often galvanized or treated for corrosion resistance.
    • Nylon with a Steel Core: A popular alternative. The nylon exterior provides quieter operation and good corrosion resistance, while the internal steel core offers the necessary strength and stability for the gate's weight and movement. This is a good balance of properties.
    • Less commonly, other plastics or stainless steel are used for specific applications.
  • "Module": While not explicitly stated for SLGR2, gear racks (and their mating pinions) adhere to a "module" standard (e.g., Module 2, Module 4). The module defines the size of the teeth and the spacing between them, ensuring that the gear rack properly meshes with the pinion gear of the specific sliding gate operator it's intended for. The SLGR2 would have a specific module that matches the operators sold by Royal Gate.
Where you'd use it: The Sliding Gate Operator Gear Rack SLGR2 is used in conjunction with gear rack sliding gate operators. These are the most common type of automatic opener for sliding gates, where the gate itself has wheels that run on a ground track (as opposed to cantilever gates). In the context of Vancouver, BC: If you are looking for parts for a sliding gate operator system in Canada, Royal Gate is a local supplier that specifically lists the SLGR2 gear rack. This means it's a standard replacement part or component they offer for their range of sliding gate operators. When purchasing, it's crucial to ensure the SLGR2 (or any gear rack) is compatible with the "module" of your existing gate operator's pinion gear for proper meshing and operation.
