Sliding gates offer numerous advantages in terms of safety, functionality and space optimization, making them an increasingly popular choice in both residential and industrial settings. In fact, their distinguishing feature is their ability to minimize their footprint, meeting special requirements for space, functionality and application.
Among the various types of sliding gates available on the market, the compact ones, also known as telescopic, are designed to respond specifically to all those situations where lateral space is particularly limited, as in the case of parking lots, driveways, or specific industrial and commercial settings.
For this type of gates, FAC has designed a full range of accessories available in specific Sliding Gate Kits, the two leaves telescopic sliding gate kit and the multi-leaf telescopic telescopic gate kit, with the aim of facilitating professionals and installers in the selection and installation of these precise components.
Complete, ready-to-use solutions designed to effectively address the specific space, safety, and security concerns of these areas.
Efficiency and functionality: kit solutions from FAC
When it comes to sliding gates, it is crucial to consider the efficiency and functionality of the installation system. FAC’s sliding gate kit solutions are a winning choice for professionals looking for a practical and comprehensive way to make high-quality sliding gates.
Designed to combine reliability, practicality and technological innovation, our range of kits for sliding gates with two or more leaves simplifies and facilitates the work of the professional, offering all the necessary components for a safe, quick and uncomplicated installation. Below are some advantages offered by our kits.
Everything you need in one kit
One of the main advantages of FAC’s Sliding Gate Kits is the completeness of the package.
Each kit contains all the necessary accessories for each specific installation, and this eliminates the need for the professional to source individual components separately. An advantage that not only simplifies the selection and purchasing process, but also reduces the time required for installation.
All kits offered by FAC are also supplied with detailed technical data sheets to ensure efficient and safe assembly at all times.
Quality and durability
Another strength of FAC’s kit solutions is its focus on the quality of materials.
All components included in our kits, including wheels, rails and drive systems, are made of galvanized steel and stainless steel to ensure long life and excellent durability even in the most adverse environmental conditions.
Ease of installation and flexibility
FAC kits are designed to simplify the work of the locksmith or carpenter while providing maximum flexibility. Each kit is designed to provide functionality and support for each specific opening, while still allowing the professional to adapt the structure to the client’s aesthetic and functional needs. All kits also come with detailed technical data sheets and installation instructions to guide the professional in the execution of the assembly in order to ensure maximum safety and performance of the structure.
Versatile solutions for every need, 100% Made in Italy
FAC offers a full range of gate kits to meet different space and opening requirements, ensuring maximum functionality and safety without compromising the aesthetics of the structure.
High-quality solutions for different types of gates and doors, suitable for both residential and large industrial buildings, airport and commercial spaces, office buildings and agricultural areas.
Reliable products at the right price-quality ratio, guaranteeing high performance and safety over time, thanks to 100% Made in Italy design and construction.
FAC’s telescopic gate kit solutions
One of FAC’s kit solutions are the Telescopic Sliding Gate Kits, designed for installations that must take into account particularly small side space. In fact, the door overlap system offered in the telescopic kits allows for wide openings even in narrow spaces, ensuring stability and safety.
Telescopic sliding gates are therefore the perfect solution when there is not enough side space to install a traditional sliding gate. In situations such as these, telescopic gates, which overlap as they open, allow the gate itself to be as small as possible. This compact design makes this type of gate the ideal choice for safely and efficiently demarcating all industrial, commercial and private access areas that lack sufficient space beyond the opening.
FAC’s telescopic gate kits contain all the necessary accessories (including wheels) to build and install any type of telescopic gate. All accessories in our kits are made of galvanized steel and stainless steel to ensure maximum reliability, durability and strength.
Types of telescopic sliding gate kits offered by FAC
A telescopic sliding gate can consist of two or more side sliding gates. FAC therefore offers two types of telescopic sliding gate kits: the two leaves telescopic sliding gate kit and the multi-leaf telescopic gate kit.
Each type meets the need to minimize the footprint beyond the opening, taking into consideration the specific gate structure.
Let us see, in detail, each kit.
Two leaves telescopic sliding gate kit
The two leaves telescopic sliding gate kit is one of the most popular and versatile solutions offered by FAC. This kit is designed and made for double-leaf sliding gates subjected to multiple daily openings, such as those installed in industrial, commercial or residential settings with high transit frequency.
Available for gate openings of 4, 8, 11 and 15 meters, depending on the specific needs of the project, the kit allows for a rear overlap of the gates to reduce the footprint during its opening and thus minimize, the space occupied by the gate, ensuring maximum safety and functionality.
Components of the two leaves telescopic kit
Two leaves telescopic sliding gate kit includes:
- 1 complete transmission assembly, i.e., a special coupling system to be installed on the dragging sash that allows the sashes to be moved and brought into overlap during opening, thanks to a steel rope with a polypropylene core, which provides high elasticity, durability, and strength. This mechanism allows one of the gates to be dragged and overlapped with the main gate, to halve the space occupied by the two gates once the gate is opened, and thus reduce the total footprint, allowing for greater opening.
- 1 rope cover casing that ensures aesthetics and safety.
- 1 quick coupler that enables the transmission of motion between the two sashes to allow them to slide simultaneously, precisely and smoothly.
- 1 adjustable guide plate with 4 nylon olives attached to the column, essential for supporting the leaves at the back of the gate. Thanks to nylon olives, flawless and quiet door sliding is guaranteed.
- 1 or 2 in-line guides to support the sliding of the doors. The amount of in-line guides included in the kit varies depending on the opening, and thus the final size of the sashes. For kits up to 11 and 15 m opening length FAC provides for the use of two guides, for greater stability of sash movement.
- 4 wheels with internal support, to be fixed under the doors to allow the doors to slide on the guide rails placed on the ground. To meet the needs of professionals, FAC has provided kits with different wheels: 20 mm round groove wheels and V-groove wheels. This differentiation makes it possible to propose a complete offer, leaving the professional the choice on sliding preference, depending on the type of ground guide rail and installation. For both solutions available in the kits, FAC guarantees the use of high-quality Made in Italy accessories, tested and certified according to the highest international quality standards.
- 3 limit stops to be placed at the ends of the sashes to ensure greater safety and reliability of the structure.
Multi-leaf telescopic telescopic gate kit
For those who need an even more compact and high-performance solution suitable for optimizing particularly small side spaces, FAC offers the multi-leaf telescopic telescopic swing gate kit, designed to provide functionality and support for three-leaf telescopic swing gates.
A kit designed to ensure maximum space optimization, offering a high-performance bundling solution for all cases where the maximum opening space does not exceed 12 meters.
The kit allows simultaneous opening and overlapping of the three sashes, further reducing the footprint compared to that provided by the two-sash kit.
Also ideal for parking lots and driveways that need to maximize space.
Components of the multi-leaf telescopic kit
The multi-leaf telescopic telescopic gate kit includes:
- 2 complete transmission units to be installed on the two dragging sashes to enable them to move and overlap when opening, through a steel rope with polypropylene core. The mechanism allows overlapping of the three leaves through a simultaneous movement, resulting in a reduction of the total footprint when the gate is open.
- 1 rope cover casing to ensure maximum aesthetics and safety.
- 4 special quick-release couplers for multi-anta gates to enable motion transmission between gates and allow them to slide simultaneously, precisely and smoothly.
- 1 double adjustable guide plate for wall mounting with 4 nylon olives, essential for supporting the leaves at the back of the gate. The presence of nylon olives enables flawless sliding and consequent noise reduction.
- 2 in-line guides to support the sliding of the doors.
- 6 wheels with internal support to be fixed under the doors to allow the doors to slide on the guide rail placed on the floor, available in 20mm round groove and V-groove models.
- 4 limit stops to be placed at the ends of the sashes to ensure a controlled and safe stop of the stroke.
Sliding gate accessories: the complete FAC offering
With more than 50 years’ experience in designing and manufacturing gate accessories, FAC offers a full range of residential and industrial gate solutions designed to ensure efficient and safe installations, and flawless functionality over time.
All our sliding gate kits can therefore be complemented with specific add-ons and accessories, depending on the aesthetic and application needs of the professional.
Accessories to match include ground guide rails, which should be selected according to the type of wheel groove in the kit. The professional will be able to choose the preferred square footage based on the size of the gate, opting for the cementing rail or the drilled version to be fixed, as needed.
Another accessory that can be used to complete the kits is the top guide profile, to be attached to the rebate sash through the special plates included in the kits. An important accessory that allows the doors to slide smoothly, thanks to the support of the 4 olive guides in line.
For those who wish to automate their gates, FAC offers a selection of racks, available in different sizes to fit the length of the gates. Automation, which is always preferable to manual opening, requires specific safety accessories for automatic gates, such as sensitive edges, photocells, and safety ribs, to prevent accidents when opening and closing the gate and to ensure controlled and reliable operation in all situations.
