Circular Sliding Gate
The Madoors USA Circular Sliding Gate is an ingenious automatic motorized gate system combining elements of both sliding and folding gate designs — specifically engineered for wide entrance openings where space is restricted and insufficient run-back space prevents the use of conventional sliding, swing, or bi-fold gate systems. By traveling around the corner of the opening rather than running back parallel to the fence line, the circular leaf sliding gate achieves the maximum possible clear opening width in installations where standard gate configurations would require run-back space that simply does not exist.
The precision drive system powers the gate rapidly and smoothly, with commercial-grade endurance automation providing reliable all-weather operation across the full duty cycle of active commercial, industrial, and residential entrance applications. Madoors USA also provides service, maintenance, and repair to any existing gate system of any make — with a large stockholding of spare parts enabling rapid repair turnaround and competitive routine maintenance contracts for both new and existing installations.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA Circular Sliding Gate — also designated as the Around the Corner Sliding Folding Gate — operates by driving the gate leaf along a curved travel path that wraps around the corner post or pillar of the entrance opening, rather than traveling back along a straight track parallel to the fence or wall. This curved travel geometry allows the gate to open to the full clear width of the entrance while occupying the corner space adjacent to the opening rather than the linear run-back space behind the fence line.
The gate is available as a self-standing gate, a conventional sliding gate, and a circular leaf sliding gate — providing the appropriate configuration for each specific space constraint scenario. The circular leaf configuration is specified when run-back space along the fence line is the constraining factor. The precision drive system provides rapid, smooth gate operation appropriate for high-cycle commercial and industrial entrance duty cycles, with all-weather operational reliability maintained across temperature extremes, rain, ice, and wind loading conditions.
Gate materials available include wood, oak, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other materials on request — providing the full range of aesthetic and structural material options for residential, commercial, and architectural gate applications. Custom designs in any of these materials are available to match the specific architectural character and security requirements of each installation.
KEY FEATURES
Around the Corner Travel — Maximum Clear Opening in Restricted Space
The defining operational capability of the circular sliding gate is its around-the-corner travel geometry — the gate leaf travels along a curved path that wraps around the entrance corner post rather than running back along the fence line. This curved travel allows the full clear width of the opening to be achieved without any linear run-back space requirement, solving the access problem at entrances where conventional sliding gates cannot be installed due to space constraints on one or both sides of the opening.
Combines Sliding & Folding Gate Design Elements
The circular sliding gate incorporates design elements from both sliding gate systems — the linear drive mechanism and track-guided travel — and folding gate systems — the space-efficient compact retraction within a limited footprint. This hybrid design approach achieves the operational advantages of both gate types — the speed and reliability of a sliding gate drive and the space efficiency of a folding gate retraction — in a single system that overcomes the individual limitations of each.
Ideal for Wide Openings with Restricted Run-Back
The circular leaf sliding gate is specifically suited to wide entrance openings — spanning multiple meters — where the required run-back space for a conventional sliding gate of equivalent width would exceed the available space alongside the opening. Commercial, industrial, and residential sites with boundary walls, buildings, or landscaping close to one or both sides of the entrance are typical applications where the circular sliding gate resolves an otherwise unsolvable access problem.
Precision Drive System — Rapid & Smooth Operation
The precision drive system provides rapid gate travel speed and smooth acceleration and deceleration throughout the full open and close cycle — achieving fast entry and exit throughput at commercial and industrial entrances without the mechanical roughness or vibration associated with lower-specification drive systems on curved-track gate applications.
Commercial-Grade Endurance Automation — All-Weather Reliability
The automation system is specified for commercial endurance duty cycles — the high daily cycle rates of active commercial, industrial, and residential complex entrance applications — with all-weather operational reliability maintained across rain, wind, temperature extremes, and ice conditions. Commercial endurance specification ensures that the gate system performs consistently throughout its full service life without premature drive or mechanism failure from high-cycle fatigue.
Multiple Gate Configuration Options — Space-Limited Solutions
Madoors USA provides several gate configuration options for space-limited installations — self-standing gates for positions without existing pillar or wall infrastructure, standard sliding gates for installations with sufficient linear run-back, and circular leaf sliding gates for the most space-constrained around-the-corner installations. This range of configuration options allows the most appropriate and cost-effective solution to be specified for each specific space constraint scenario.
Full Material Range — Wood, Oak, Steel, Stainless Steel & Aluminium
Gate leaf materials cover the full range of residential and commercial gate construction options — wood and oak for traditional and heritage aesthetic applications, steel for heavy-duty security and industrial applications, stainless steel for premium contemporary applications, and aluminum for lightweight, corrosion-resistant commercial and residential applications. Custom material specifications are available on request.
Service, Maintenance & Repair — Any Make of Existing System
Madoors USA provides on-site and workshop service, maintenance, and repair for any existing gate system of any make — not only Madoors USA systems. With a large stockholding of spare parts, repairs are turned around rapidly to minimize gate downtime at operational commercial and residential entrances. Competitive routine maintenance contract quotations are available for both new Madoors USA installations and any existing gate system requiring ongoing maintenance support.
Routine Maintenance Programs
Regular maintenance is the fundamental requirement for sustained gate system performance — ensuring the gate continues to operate as effectively as when first installed throughout its full service life. Madoors USA maintenance programs cover all mechanical, electrical, drive, and safety system components, with scheduled inspection and lubrication cycles specified to the manufacturer's recommendations for each gate type and drive configuration.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Site Survey & Space Assessment
The entrance opening width, available corner space on each side of the opening, pillar and post positions, ground surface type, and operational duty cycle requirements are assessed. The appropriate gate configuration — self-standing, standard sliding, or circular leaf around-the-corner — is confirmed based on the space assessment. Gate material, design, and drive system specification are confirmed.
Track & Pillar Foundation Installation
The curved circular track system is laid out around the corner of the entrance opening at the specified radius. Track foundation anchor positions are prepared and concrete-set along the full curved track run. Corner pillar or post foundations are installed where self-standing gate infrastructure is required.
Curved Track Installation
The curved circular track is installed on the prepared foundations along the around-the-corner travel path. Track alignment, radius accuracy, and level are verified across the full travel length. Track joints and fixing integrity are confirmed.
Gate Leaf Fabrication & Finishing
The gate leaf is fabricated in the specified material — wood, oak, steel, stainless steel, or aluminum — to the confirmed design and opening width dimensions. Surface finishing — powder coating, staining, anodizing, or painting — is applied.
Gate Leaf Installation on Curved Track
The gate leaf is installed on the curved track drive carriage. Travel along the full curved path from closed to fully open position is verified for smooth, consistent radius tracking. Drive carriage engagement with the track and gate leaf structural connection integrity are verified.
Precision Drive System Installation & Commissioning
The drive system is installed at the specified motor position. Drive connection to the gate leaf is made. Travel speed, acceleration, deceleration, and limit positions at the full open and full close positions are set and programmed. All-weather operational parameters are configured.
Safety System & Access Control Installation
Obstruction detection, anti-crushing, safety edges, and emergency stop systems are installed and tested. Access control interfaces — remote control, key switch, intercom, card reader, or other — are connected and verified.
Operational Testing & Handover
Complete operational testing across all drive, safety, and access control functions is conducted. Maintenance schedule is confirmed and documented. Installation handover documentation is completed.
