Product Overview

Automatic bi-fold doors are a space-efficient entrance solution designed for locations where traditional sliding or swing doors are not practical. Their folding panel design allows for a wide clear opening while minimising the space required for operation, making them suitable for tight or high-traffic environments.


They are commonly used across commercial, retail, healthcare, and public buildings where reliable and efficient access is required. The system combines modern aesthetics with practical functionality, offering a clean entrance solution that supports both user flow and building performance.

System Overview

The system operates using an automated drive mechanism that controls the folding movement of the door panels. When activated by sensors, push buttons, or access control systems, the doors open smoothly and close automatically once the passage is clear, ensuring controlled and consistent operation.


Built-in safety sensors continuously monitor movement to detect obstructions and prevent contact during operation. The system can also be configured with adjustable settings such as opening speed, hold-open time, and access direction, allowing it to be tailored to specific building requirements and traffic conditions.

Applications & Benefits

Automatic bi-fold doors are suitable for a wide range of environments including retail entrances, healthcare facilities, offices, and transport hubs. Their compact design makes them especially effective in areas where space is restricted but efficient pedestrian access is essential.


The key benefits include improved space utilisation, faster pedestrian flow, and enhanced energy efficiency by reducing the time entrances remain open. They also support accessibility and hygiene by enabling hands-free operation, making them a practical solution for modern building requirements.
