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 gatesÂ
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 gatesÂ
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.

Fix a gate
$400
Downer ACT 2602, Australia
24th Oct 2025
Our side gate to the garden has seen better days. The wooden post attached to the brickwork has started to rot, and the gate itself is starting to pull out from it. Post is about 100mm x 75 mm x 1.6m that has a thinner piece of wood attached, that the gates screwed through to the sleeper. Post looks to be secured to the brickwork by 2 long bolts at the top, unsure how secured at the bottom. Hoping to replace the sleeper with some H4 treated pine + the thin bit to keep the gate width and keep the same gate fixtures.

Fence (and gate) extended to keep in dog!
$250
Belconnen ACT, Australia
21st Sep 2025
The back (brick) fence which borders reserve is too low to keep in our dog. The fence, and also the gate will need some type of extension installed to make them higher. The wall is 6m 40cm long, and the gateway is 94cm wide. I’m open to suggestions about what materials to use and will provide all materials. Not sure about how long the job will take, so also negotiable on price to pay for your labour - but prefer quotes for firm price rather than hourly.
