The MacLaren Bi Fold gate brings the best in security and privacy to your home. Complete with our maintenance free aluminium infills. Unique space saving bi fold solution.
We have included many diagrams to assist you when measuring for your new gates. If you are unsure, please send us a picture of your opening and we can advise on where to measure!
Please let us know if you intend on installing between your gap opening or behind your gap opening.
Note - Although the gap width is calculated in the exact same way, the mounting position guide shown below illustrates our metal framed range setups - with rear mounted hinges. Our standard and premium metal only ranges are hinged through the gate frames. See additional diagram below.

When measuring, please ensure to take 3 measurements at the top, middle and bottom of your gap opening.
Take the SMALLEST of these sizes, and provide us with this size.

We pride ourselves on how customizable and bespoke all of our products are. By giving us all of the required information your gate will be designed & work perfectly, unlike other cheaper 'universal' gates available to purchase.
See our handy 'Hinge Location Guide' below to help you decide which way you would like the gate to open.
IMPORTANT NOTE - We need to know if you would like your gate to OPEN IN (STANDARD DESIGN) (push the gate and it swings into your garden/property) or if you need the gate to OPEN OUT (pull the gate towards you, usually required if there is an obstruction such as a doorstep etc).
REMEMBER - All of our designs are based on you standing OUTSIDE the property (on the Street for example, looking into the property). See below drawings for guidance:

We custom manufacture all metal posts at the same time as your new gates. We can provide 0, 1 or 2 new posts depending on requirements. Should you have suitable existing walls/posts then we will supply the free hinge brackets for installation.
A list of our bi fold gate upgrades coming soon! Please contact us during our website updates.
Our current lead time from order confirmation to delivery is 6 to 8 weeks.
More delivery information can be found on the delivery page, from the home page menu.
We can design and add a special mechanism that allows any of our bi fold gate systems to work with automation kit.
This involves custom hinges and a mechanical arm system that 'folds' the gate automatically when the motors push/pull the gates open and shut.
Note - automatic bi fold gates can only be opened inwards.
You will need both an automation system (motor kit) PLUS a mechanical bi fold lever system - which work together to operate the gates. This mechanical bi fold system is not required for manual bi fold gates.
Please contact us for a custom quote on this system.
