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.

Replace gate lock, lock driveway gates & install lockable side gate

$250

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

21st Oct 2026

I need my front and side access made secure, with all three locks keyed alike so one key opens everything: Front pedestrian gate: there’s an existing keyed lock but the key is lost. Please replace the lock or barrel. Front driveway gates: these can currently be pushed open by hand. Please fit a drop bolt or other fixing to hold one leaf in place, plus a keyed lock where the two gates meet. Side of house: there’s no gate at the moment. Please supply and install a new gate to match the metal with a keyed lock. Back fence gate: lock back gate with same lock and key. Photos are attached. Please quote supply and installation for all three, including the gate material and the lock hardware you’d use. Weatherproof locks preferred. Availability in the next few days would be great. Measure the side opening (width and the height you want) and photograph it with the fence on either side. The side gate is the biggest part of the job, so good photos will get you more accurate quotes. If the side gate makes the job slower, you could ask whether a tasker can do the locks first and come back for the gate.

Lower the timber fence to 1.2m and re weld the steel gate frame

$3,000

Box Hill North VIC 3129, Australia

27th Aug 2026

I need a qualified/experienced welder to modify an existing steel front fence. The work includes: * Lowering the existing timber fence to the required height * Cutting and modifying the existing steel gate frame * Re-welding and reinforcing the existing metal gate frame * Adjusting the gate hinges/alignment if required * Grinding and finishing the welds The existing fence and gate are already installed. This is a modification/repair rather than a completely new fence. Mobile welding equipment is required as the work needs to be completed on site. Please provide: * Your experience with steel fence and gate fabrication * Whether you have your own mobile welding equipment * Your availability * A quote including labour and equipment, including rubbish cleanups Please note that the required final fence height is approximately **1.2m**.

Fantastic work! He went far beyond my expectations and was incredibly thorough. He noticed many issues I hadn’t even considered and used his expertise to fix them properly. He replaced poor timber, added a latch, and adjusted the gate’s height and angle so it closes perfectly. None of these were in my original requirements. I’m very grateful for his care and professionalism. Highly recommended!
