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.

Experienced Fencer Needed to Repair and Reinforce Side Timber Gate

$200

Harlaxton QLD, Australia

31st May 2026

I need an experienced fencing contractor or handyman to repair my side timber gate in Toowoomba. Please note that some of the attached photos were taken before the gate fully collapsed, so its current condition is worse than shown in some images. I am looking for a proper long-term repair, not a temporary fix. The job includes inspecting the gate, frame and posts, rehanging and realigning the gate, and replacing all worn or damaged hardware with new heavy-duty components, including hinges, latches, catches and any other fittings required. I would like a heavy-duty drop bolt (slide-down ground bolt) installed to secure the gate when closed, as well as an additional heavy-duty sliding bolt or locking bolt fitted around the middle of the gate so it can be securely locked and supported when required. Any additional support hardware needed to prevent future sagging or failure should also be installed. I would also like a suitable hold-open mechanism fitted so the gate can be secured in the open position and not swing shut in windy conditions. Please inspect the existing posts and advise whether any post movement may have contributed to the failure. I am looking for someone experienced in gate and fencing repairs who can provide a strong, reliable repair that will last, as I intend to replace the entire fence at a later date. Please quote including labour and materials and provide details of your experience with similar gate repairs.

Brady came out to repair my broken gate.He assessed the job quickly,did excellent work and the gate is now solid and working great.He was professional ,efficient and fair on the price.Great person to work with and I’d definitely hire him again.
