agree mpBerlin: Just: gate fold (2 words) see: http://www.expertsinfinishing.com/folding7.html
1 min
  -> Can be written as "gatefold", "gate-fold" or "gate fold".
agree Wenjer Leuschel: How about centerfold?
27 mins
  -> Not quite; a centerfold is per definition in the center, the gatefold does not have to be in the center, a gatefold folds the sheet along three folds into four pages, a centerfold could be 3 pages.
agree Mario Marcolin: gatefold, Einklappseite Altarfalz = gatefold insert

altar-fold

Explanation:
If you imagine the triptych of an altar, the centrepiece is twice the with of each of the wings. When these are both folded in towards the centre, the central altarpiece is completely concealed. This is the derivation of the term. It IS a form of gatefold, but gatefold covers other uses as well such as the large pages, sometimes inserted into books, which can be folded out (maps are a prime example of this). "Altar-fold" is certainly used in the UK printing trade. But how page 4 comes to be the LEFT-hand fold is a mystery - my memory of these things fades rather, but to me that would be page 1....
