What does a gate installation service include?

You can get help with anything to do with gates, from gate selection and installation to repair and maintenance. Most gate installers are experienced with a range of fencing types, and can choose a gate to match your existing fence, or help install a fence alongside your gate.


Here are some of the most common types of gates and what you can expect with each service:


Automatic gates 


Need automatic gates or electric gates installed or repaired? These are a popular option for driveways, with everything securely locked away and you don’t even have to get out of your car to open or close it. Your technician will have experience with automatic gate openers, including how to set up access so that your gate can open smoothly via a buzzer, remote, keypad, or intercom. They’ll measure the area and recommend the best gate type to fit, with the most suitable opening methods (swinging or sliding). Your gate installer can order in your gate materials, before installing everything onsite and showing you how to operate your new gate.


Swinging gates 


Swinging gates are the most popular gate type because they’re simple to operate, with your gate suspended on a hinge, and held in place with a latch. Your gate installer will help recommend a gate style that will fit with your existing fence and other features, whether you need timber gates, aluminium gates, or even glass. They’ll order in the materials and assemble your gate onsite, ensuring its level and properly secured at the hinges. Finally, they’ll attach a latch at the correct height for easy opening and closing - with the option to padlock your gate for added security.


Sliding gates


Sliding gates are ideal for homes with limited space on either side of the gate, or for larger gates along driveways, where a swinging gate isn’t practical. Your gate installer will begin by measuring the area and recommending some suitable sliding gates to fit. They’ll order in the materials and begin by installing your footings and metal tracks for the gate to roll on. Next, they’ll put in place posts for your gate. Then they’ll insert wheels into the bottom of your gate and slide it onto the track and lock it into place. Sliding gates do need regular maintenance to ensure they’re clean and well lubricated, and you may need to book sliding gate repair if your gate stops working smoothly or gets damaged.


Pool gates


If you have a pool, you’ll need at least one or two gates for safe access to your pool area. Your pool gate installer will help you select a gate that matches your pool fence, whether glass or aluminium. They’ll install your gate between fence posts, ensuring it meets the regulations for your local area. Common regulations include self-closing and self-latching, latches at a minimum height, and only outwards-opening. If your pool gate doesn’t open or close properly, you’ll need to book pool gate repairs as soon as possible to ensure your pool is safe and compliant.

Reverse opening direction of garage gates

$300

Red Hill QLD, Australia

28th May 2025

I need to reverse the opening direction of the garage gates. There is a retaining wall that’s sagging and preventing the left-hand gate from opening properly. I want to reverse the swing direction, so the gates open inward into the garage, instead of outward towards the street. Because this is a rental I need to keep this on the down low, and make any changes visually unnoticeable (as much as possible)

Great job, and great communication

Hello, I am looking for a few urgent items to be done as we move into a new place in 2 weeks. 1 - install a wooden baby gate at the top of the stairs. Photo of stairs and gate idea attached. I don't have the gate itself so would either need it to be built or ordered 2 - install a swing gate on the balcony to prevent toddlers from toddling off the edge 3 - This is optional and not as urgent. If you can do 1 & 2 but not 3 then please go ahead and offer. Sorry I don't have a good picture of the access. We are looking to install a door that can be locked to separate downstairs and upstairs. Won't be used regularly so it would be nice if it tucks away neatly. Thank you

Silicon this hole in the gate

$50

Milton QLD, Australia

29th Apr 2025

This gate is rotten but trying to buy more time. Want to plug and seal up this hole on the back of the gate to stop water getting in. White Silicon will be better as the wood around the hole is rotten. And no painting. Need the hole tidied up and sealed up. But do not dig out more timber. But can remove any hanging paint in the way. Make it flush. i.e. take some soapy water to smooth the surface. If there are other small holes exposing timber please plug those only where timber is exposed. I am unsure but I do not think there are more. If there is another, it will be very small.

Good communication.

Sean exceeded my expectations in workmanship! He suggested a stronger alternative to the existing gate. Sean jackhammered to 750cm deep in 37C to install a 100x100 post for strength and worked incredibly hard! Sean went above and beyond the quoted task, also refitting my 25-year-old gate lock, saving me $300. The new gate is excellent. He takes care to do a job well, doesn't cut corners, and is a great tradesman. I highly recommend Sean!
